The Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300 Tour Racket Just got it last week and it felt like all of my shots improved immediately in every aspect (after I framed my first three backhand slices)!

I was trying to save money so I wasn't looking to buy a new racket, but I got to hit with it for a while and couldn't resist!

Nice stick! What were you hitting with before?

Rob2D

Serious stick if you get it right.

Thinking of trying a K90 sometime in the future.

I had been using the Wilson K blade for a year, but my aggressive game went off the boil (nothing to do with the racket) and I switched back to a light Prince racket for a bit more consistency and because the Wilson needed to be restrung. Then my coach let me hit with the Dunlop Aerogel and I just had to have it. The Wilson was a great racket, but very stiff. If I had a bad day with that racket, the ball wasn't going in at all. Probably says more about my ability than the the respective rackets Though I do like to use a bit of touch, and I'm hoping the Dunlop will help in that regard.

serious stick, i used to have one.

Rob2D

Yeah it sure is. Whenever I step onto the court I know someone is walking off looking like a fool. I'd be lying if I said it hasn't been me a couple times.:p

badgerpm

C'mon guys! Almost 200 views and only 3 pics! Plus, the idea is to post pics of your actual rackets and gear, not live brochure pics:o. At least you replied:D:D. Anyway, c'mon everyone!

Rob2D

Well I could take a picture but it'd just be from my phone. I'm also disappointed with the lack of replies.

Rob2D and the monkey, just heard that as of January 2011 the KPS88 will be no more. So Stock Up now!! Plus Rob2D, post some live pics of your racket to give this thread some life!:cool:

Rob2D

I know, I know I'll get around to it tomorrow I swear! Sad news about the KPS88 but everyone knew it would happen. To be honest most thought it would already be dead by now. Its such a shame that nobody wants a players racquet anymore.

Yeah, it really is the last true players racket, given that the K90 and BLX 90 and similar rackets are all polarized. Plus, it must be feeling lonely with no one to endorse it. Did you hear that Sampras has gone to Babolat? You better put those pics up tomorrow, I'll be waiting:mad:. Haha only messing, whenever you get the time throw them up.:)

Rob2D

Yeah I saw him with the Babolat at that recent exo with Agassi. Hard to believe that Sampras would ever use anything other than the prostaff frame. I don't think he's committed to anything yet. I hear he's testing a wide range of frames at the moment.

Anyway heres some pics:





The lighting wasn't great I'm afraid. Hopefully someday I'll get a few good shots of it in action on the court!:cool:

Awesome! Thanks! Do you play with a bare leather grip???

Rob2D

Lately yes. The shop ran out of the overgrips I like so I just went with the leather. And I must say its grown on me. I can see why people complain about blisters but most of the time I'm not out on the court long enough for that to be an issue.
