...that's why i mentioned it was a generalisation (that serve-and-volleyers) prefer something more manoeuvrable i.e. head-light... the top pros wouldn't have any problem swinging a sledgehammer around at the net so they are a moot point... and i -seriously- doubt the hammer was developed for sampras... no way wilson would even present that idea to him... totally wrong for him man... if i could crack those flimsy things, sampras would've blown them to smithereens...

You mentioned Sampras with headlight, so that's inaccurate. Also, volley-ers don't swing at the net.

As for Wilson having developed the Hammer for Sampras, that was the claim at the time. How true it is, only Wilson and Sampras knows. Also, if you don't already know, the pros have customized racquets from the manufacturers, and there are usually nothing like the retail versions. So the analysis that if you could crack those flimsy things and that Sampras would have destroyed them is clearly moot.

And as Battousai says, you got them backwards. The headlight racquets are more suitable for the baseliner big swings, and the heavier heads are more suitable for volleys.

again, i refer to my existing knowledge and experience... maybe you live in a different generation where the rules of physics have changed, but there we go...

Normally, I'd be insulted by that. But since it was such a good dig, i'm gonna just rclxms.gif

However, I will point out that it should be the laws of physics.

okay just got back from getting some fresh air outside... sorry... wait, no my humblest apologies to all if i sounded a bit rude and condescending... didn't mean it that way... i'm actually a really sweet guy *yeech* and peace-like (errr... except when i'm on the road... then i do get a bit b1tchy blush.gif)... anyways, again my apologies to all... especially to my mates ~Battousai~ and artemis348... i doff my hat to thee...

No worries, man. Not a problem at all. A little debate never killed anyone (so far that I know...).

I went to checkout the KProStaff today. Damn heavy, 12.4 oz. Also, surprisingly, the balance is 9pts headlight. The frame looks almost exactly like the old ProStaff 6.0. The PWS looks a bit different, though. No grip size for me yet.
