A local gifted artist can add touch up paint to this racket to perfect it. Of course if I had the time I'd do it for you. Instead make it a project for yourself.

There was a time when this planet was inhabited by Tennis Angels. They were the ones who taught me how to play the game many years ago. They gave me my first racket. They taught me to love the game and value its many physical and metaphysical benefits. Most importantly, they taught me to pass the game on to those who may be less fortunate as I was. Yet somehow as I looked shamefully upon my empty collection of 5000+ vintage rackets, I clearly realized I had forgotten the creed of sharing. Now the awakening has taken place. It's time to let go, offer up, or ETSY Betsy.
You will not only be getting a racket but this is a way for you to join me in giving a less fortunate child a chance to learn and enjoy the game for life as we have done. Half of the profits of these rackets will go to USTA Tennis Association of your choice.

I did not take pictures of every angle of the rackets. Instead, I did not list any racket that was of poor quality. There may be a few that have a microscopic warp in them. If that is the case, you will be notified before the sale clears and receive a free racket press with your purchase. I strongly recommend you do not use the racket for playing. First of all our bodies aren't built for playing with wood rackets anymore. Secondly, the speed of the game has changed so dramatically that you will ultimately destroy the racket. That defeats the point of collecting it. Overall, no one has been disappointed with their purchases from me. My prices are low, the racket quality high and shipping is free no matter where you live in the USA. Any item that appears to be priced higher than you want to pay for it is actually worth 3 times more. I implore you to compare pricing and shipping costs before purchasing.

Use the racket for display, decor, or simply as your newest piece of memorabilia. If you Google racket decor ideas you will see hundreds of ways you can display the racket. Clean it and even add a little wood polish to it. Some of these rackets were collected from other countries so you may not have heard of them. The age or manufacturing date is only a close guesstimate. If you have the exact age, period of manufacturing, or any other information about the racket you would like to share please let me know. To see details simply zoom in for a closer look.

Please be patient: I run a small business and I don't have much time at all to do this. Eventually most of the 1000+ rackets I have left will be listed here or elsewhere until most are gone to someone who can appreciate them and support the American dream of sharing the game we love. We were very fortunate and must never forget that.

Although I am not giving these rackets away for free, I am not here for profit. I want to see that smile on a kid's face when he puts his first pair of real tennis shoes on and plays his first 10 shot rally without a miss. If you don't remember what that buy felt like then you have lost the first love, the passion that drove you to where you are today. Let's bring it back. I understand that pricing is relative especially for items that are extremely rare and almost impossible to find for trade. Nevertheless, except for extremely rare items, and unless you really need them, drop those ridiculous high prices and give back! Oh yes, If you are buying for the purpose reselling this racket for more than you paid for it, that's fine. I am a businessman and I get that. All I ask is that you find a way to give back, pass on the love of the sport to those who may be less fortunate than you are.

Finally, keep stroking. You're looking good out there.
