  • Prostaff is one of the best tennis rackets ever. I am against wide body rackets since all they add is speed to the game but no strategy.

  • Mecir used a woodie for a long time....very smooth player.

  • Milos used wooden racquet throughout his career, except for just 3 weeks when he tried something newer, but went back to his vintage.

  • @cammpinno really? do you know if mecir played with wood when he won the lipton´s in 1987 by defeating lendl?

  • @beejay976 he said that when he was about to switch from juniors to men, they stopped to produce wooden racquets. So he tried a new one but after 3 weeks he came back to the wood. It must have been way before 87, he was born in March 64. He still kept them from his junior times and as he never broke one on the court, he never ran out of them :-)) Even in the last year exhibition against Edberg, Wilander, he was using a wooden one.

  • @cammpinno what an amazing guy that mecir :).... then he must have painted his wooden rackets so it looked like modern graphite ones.

    thanks for the response

  • @beejay976 not only this. He always had back problems. Thats why he didnt practice that much (of cos he was so talented he didnt have to) - comparing to Becker - , and in the matches he didnt serve that hard, he just put the ball into play. He wanted to spare his back as much as possible to be able to play well. He was so natural, like no one else.

  • Mitico Gattone Mecir...

  • great post! even bad edberg is good, but paired with mecir it becomes transcendent.

  • thanks for Edberg video mate..

    anyone know what kind of racquet Edberg was using in this match?

  • Edberg used original Wilson Prostaff 6.0 (85) throughout his career. He tried an Adidas racquet for a tournament or two without much success. Here his Wilson sponsorship ended sometime before and thus he is not displaying the W stencil.

  • aha.. interesting!

    any idea what he is using these days when he played in London (08)? looked like 'Wilson K Factor KSix-One Tour 90' is that true?
