Greetings Bart,<br>Thanks so much for your nice
post.<br>I too love the transitional rackets, which started
basically when the makers started laminating the woodies
with fiberglass and graphite, then went to
mid/oversizes and then to different materials like aluminum,
metal and composites : kevlar, ceramic, boron, graphite
and mixes ... Now the trend is to go with ultra light
rackets made with stuff like hyper carbon that are like 9
oz. The old woodies were all over 12 oz. simetime
almost 16. I love the thick old convex wedge wood
racquets that had large handles without grips. Some had
nice carved or cross etches in the handles for wood.
Anyways, sorta got a little off tapic. Thanks for your
post and hope it does help to spur on more surprise
posting from transparent members :-)<br>Best wishes to
all, Joe
