Originally posted by ManuH I HIGHLY doubt that. I've been playing tennis for years and wood became pretty much obsolete in the mid-eighties. Even the old timers like McEnroe had to recognize that graphite was just much better. Its high rigidity allowed bigger rackets with much more power. Any tennis player still using wood would just cripple himself.
If that's so and I'm not getting in your face, genuine interest here, why then does the local pro shop still carry so many? I don't play but my roommate does and she works there in summer p/t sometimes. I've been in, looked. They have tons of them, all different kinds, but plenty of them are in wood and they're supposed to be mostly pro stuff. Looks like it given how much they cost.
