Volkl - BB 10 (Boris Becker) Tennis Racket w/ Free Stringing The Volkl BB10 is the latest model from Volkl and bears the initials of the German tennis legend, Boris Becker. Designed with tournament players in mind, the BB10 features the newly designed Energy Box and Energy Shaft construction delivering enhanced racquet-head stability and increased power through the stiffer shaft construction. The BB-10 will support the ambitious demands of any serious tennis player. The BB10 slots into Volkl’s line as being slightly more powerful than the Catapult 8 V-Engine. Volkl Energy Box: Positioned at 5 & 7 o’clock on the racquet head, the Energy Box is supported with Titanium and Lite Carbon. This material mix along with the box shape construction was designed to add stability to the racquet. Especially on off-center shots, the Energy Box stabilizes the racquet and ensures a smoother and more precise game. Volkl Energy Shaft: This unique triangle shaped shaft construction was developed for one reason only: POWER. The Energy shaft stiffens the shaft area of a racquet, resulting in less energy loss and adding superior power to every shot. Free Stringing Included: We will string this racquet for you at the manufacturer’s recommended tension using Wilson Stamina 16g synthetic gut at no cost.

Head Metallix 4 Tennis Racquet The Head Metallix 4 is a new slightly more control-oriented option in Head’s line. Like the Metallix 10 and Metallix 6, the Metallix 4 retains the use of Flexpoint technology and offers several new technologies for 2006.

Head Metallixis incorporated into the shaft section, making the Metallix 4 lighter and stiffer for more power.Metallixis made of a matrix of carbon fibers and a new crystalline metal alloy that is 1000 times smaller than typical metals.Head Stabilizereliminates racquet vibration and ensures the ultimate in comfort on every shot.Head LMS (Longer Main String) design lowers the bridge section to create a larger hitting surface without making the racquet any larger. The Metallix 4 is a more control-oriented option to the Metallix 6 and Metallix 10, yet still offers ample power and stability. Surprisingly controlled thanks to the “flexpoints” cut into the frame at 3:00 and 9:00.

Customer Review: King of Prince
This is the racquet why I started to play tennis back in 1987. This racquet force me to follow thru the ball and improved my game into the next level player. I play with many demo racquet and own up to 20 racquets at one time, but at the end this unique Prince racquet is the best of Prince. Head had the Radical, Wilson had the Pro-Staff and Prince is the Graphite Classic. I just order 2 from Amazon, and I will try to buy when ever I could find them. I own 6 of this Graphite Classic and 10 other Price Graphite Family. Love of the Game.
Customer Review: A good racquet for a strong player
When I owned this racquet as a teenager I loved it and when the time came, I bought a new one. However, now that I am older and don’t get to play as much I find this racquet requires just too fast a swing for me to maintain over a full hour or so of playing.
