What was the first three tennis racquets you ever used and learned on?
First: an aluminum Bancroft that my mother bought from K-Mart. It had a red 'B' stencil I retouched every now and then. I played racquetball on the handball courts at my high school with it!
Second: Dunlop McEnroe Graphite Comp frame. My first graphite frame. Great feel and flex. Had fiberglass.
Third: Donnay Borg Graphite Mid. It had a straight throat and a "bullet head" frame.

I started with a Price Classic, then the Prince Pro. I then played awhile with the Prince woodie.

Ah, yes. I had a few buddies that used those racquets on my high school team. I just recently saw someone with the Prince woodie. Very heavy racquet!

I forgot which racquet I learned on. I remember hitting with my Dads wooden racquet though. In high school I played with the Prince CTS approach. It was a size 90 head. This was before there were oversized heads.

Oh my...I can't even remember the first racquet, but I think they were wood.... father decided one day that we were all going to get up and be at the park on weekends at the latest by 7 am....Generally around 6:30.....A little sprinting up an incline followed by tennis...
The Racquets that followed i do remember though...still have them....Wilson T2000, prince pro, and a head racquet but can't remember the model....

If it's a classic Head racquet, I might be interested in it. :)
