To those of you who have played tennis long enough, this racquet needs no introduction. Wielded by grand slam winners such as Sampras, Edberg, Courier and Chris Evert, the Pro Staff 6.0 85 has always been a very sought after piece of tennis gear on ebay & everywhere in the tennis world. Although not many can harness and unleash it’s full capability like Pete Sampras, it still has the biggest cult following in the tennis gear world especially the ones that are made in the island of St.Vincent.
For this special reissue of the racquet, the butt cap has been changed to a BLX butt cap but the specs remain the same. You can checkout tennis-warehouse.com if you’re interested to get a piece. But I’m pretty sure by the time this article is being written, each & every piece has been sold. LoL! .. Anyway, checkout the links below if you wanna research more into this classic racquet.
