At one point in time I was an avid tennis player, as in playing 2-3 times each week. Unfortunately several years ago I sustained an injury that put an end to my participation in the sport.When I played, I of course had several racquets, and some time my son, who had a stringer then, handled the restringing. I was going through a box of tennis accessories and happened upon these six sets of strings. I have had these for a while, but they have been stored in a temperature regulated home - ours. I am told in spite of that, the strings are still fine to use, and all are in new condition, sealed bags.
Here is what I have:
* Snauwaert Dynocraft Crystal Clear Synthetic Tennis Strings. Made in W. Germany.
* Snauwaert Oilfilled Carbon Impregnated - Spiral Synthetic Tennis Strings. Made in Japan.
* Nylgut Comp. Synthetic Gut Tennis String. Made in W. Germany. (These are yellow).
* Nylgut Comp. Synthetic Gut Tennis String. Made in W. Germany. (These are pink).
* AG International AG 16 High Performance Synthetic. 36 feet - 16 gauge. Made in Taiwan. (These are burgundy).
* AG International Fanatasy Fireworks. 36 feet - 15 gauge. Made in Taiwan. (These are multi-color).
As an aside - Once I won a radio contest and the prize was to spend the day playing and receiving lessons from tennis greats Rod Laver and Roy Emmerson. Quite an experience.
Also, I once played with Kenny Rogers, and he too was a pretty accomplished player.
And lastly - I collect old racquets, currently with in excess of 200. Although some are somewhat more contemporary, e.g., Wilson T-2000, etc., many are vintage wood as I really enjoy the beautiful old wood striations. But the problem was that I had no place to display them. One weekend my wife was out of town and being bored, I decided to display them in our library. It was a room used mostly by me and seemed a viable choice. I went to Home Depot and purchased small hooks and proceeded to hang them all over the ceiling - head to handle style. I could lay on the floor and look up at an amazing array of old tennis racquets. Quite dazzling, and I thought an excellent solution. Unfortunately, my wife was not as dazzled as I. Needless to say, she was less than pleased, but by then the damage had been done - or from my point of view the mission a success. And I am pleased to report they remain covering the ceiling to this day!
