Tennis Racquet Collection    As a keen tennis player from an early age I have always dreamt of starting a racquet collection.   A few years ago, working above an Op-Shop in South Melbourne, I found 4 terrific old Australian wood racquets from the late 20's to early 30's.   These stayed in view for a couple of years and then upon discovering Ebay my collecting and interest expanded. I started out collecting Australian wood racquets and those with player pictures, both of which are highly collectable, but I found my passion amid the racquets I grew up with through the 1970's & 1980's as they evolved from wood to metal to graphite. While I have a few lovely wooden racquets with wooden handles (pre-leather grips) and even some mid 20's wood frame/steel head racquets my desire is to collect unusual or odd shaped racquets for their novelty. Here are some I hope you enjoy seeing for the first time.                                            Dunlop Monoshaft 70's            Dunlop Predator 80's              Fox Bosworth WB-210                  Chris 5 Star                                       MacGregor Tourney              MacGregor Bergelin Long String            Wilson T2000 Steel (designed by Lacoste)                                             Major Nazka                       Snauwaert Ellipse         Gripper (deliberate curved handle)     Wilson Sting                                   The Handler                        AMF (Arthur Ashe )         Blackburne Double Strung                   Tretorn                                     You can pull this racquet apart and replace the head with another in case of string breakage or varying tension                                                           Tretorn with shot speed sensor built in.  Only 1000 made & never went to market                                                        Snauwaert Ergonom                      Wilson Legacy                       Fishtail Grip             UK Stainless Steel / wood shaft                                     Close up Major Nazka                                 Topway Polygon                            Sp.in G-300                                                                                            Click here for next page
