These are the famous Estusa graphite rackets, the Ameripro Sidewinder,
and the famous AeroSupra yellow model that
Jimmy decided to use for his comeback. Both are Jimmy Connors signature
model racquets with
mid plus head sizes and are of a wide body design. Sidewinder racket is
unique in that the strings at the 12, 6 and 3 o'clock positions wrap around the
frame inspecial grooves. To quote label on the inside of the throat "strings
wrap around the frame instead of going through it. shock andvibration are
dissipated more eficiantly into the air instead of going through the frame.
optimum power with control for the accomplished player".
This racket is really pretty green with red
highlights and becamepopular in the early 90's when Jimmy Connors abandoned his
metalT2000's for rackets like these and had his famous career end run at the US
open of 1991. These retailed in stores for around $120 and disappeared fast.
I think they will really be valuable collectors rackets.
