This is one of my favorites. Actually, it's the only oversized racquet I have. It has Andre Agassi's signature on the throat as well as his Grandslam titles imprinted on the frame. The supply is very limited to 9,000 units worldwide, but I heard that the serial number is running up to 12,000 now!!! The racquet comes prestrung (I recommend changing string right away) with a "rubber-banded" dampener and blue overgrip. It's all set up to pro's specification. After hitting for a couple times, I can quickly get used to it. There is no instruction needed for this equipment and I believe others will feel the same. Although it's a little heavy for an oversized racquet, it's very easy to swing. Compact and fast stroke can apply here. You don't need a full swing to generate a good punch. It also give you a really classic feel. Some people says it's "old-school" graphite feel. I don't know how to explain that. A lot of modern racquets today just don't have that feel. On groundstroke, this frame is very solid and stable, even more stable than Liquid Metal Radical that I used to play. One drawback I found is on my backhand. I have one-handed backhand, so I found this racquet a little cumbersome to swing. However, it's great in overall. If you are in the market for new oversized racquet, get this one.
