New "Old School" Racquet


I have switched from the Pro Kennex Kinetic 5G to the Prince Graphite Oversize aka the POG. This racquet design is over 20 years old and was the racquet that Michael Chang and Andre Agassi started their pro careers with. Agassi switched to Donnay and Head racquets that were made to be very similar to the POG and Chang stuck with the POG until he switched to the extended length version of the POG.


So far I like the POG better than the Kinetic 5G on my groundstrokes (I can hit a "heavier" ball and can hit with more topspin). However, I am not serving as well with POG so I need to make some adjustments there.


The wonderful thing about ebay and internet forums is that I got this POG for only $46 and will be able to sell some of my Kinetic 5Gs (not all of them) to get additional POGs.
