    Description

    Blackburne double strung ds 97!! 4 1/2 grip….super Rare 97”.
    This is the 97 not the common 107 you see all over the net . I bought out the company and bought the last 10 they have .
    You will have a very hard time finding this racquet anywhere in the world because it is so rare and the people who have one will never sell because the racquet is just that awesome !
    I don’t play that much anymore and that’s why I am getting rid of them . I loved it so much that I bought the last 10 for fear of not being able to get more …..which happened !!
    Even if you don’t like the racquet this will be sure to be worth more money . It is far more rare than diamonds !
    The racquet is 100% legal and was used by roscoe tanner at Wimbledon.
    I do not believe this one has ever been used . The grip however has been removed .

    Serves:
    The racquet is a rocket launcher. It serves bombs with no effort at all. because you will never find a racquet on the market that is this head heavy you could imagine just how powerful your serve will be. You will not need any lead tape with this puppy.
    I can also use an extreme continental grip as I am not afraid of framing the ball. This racquet is a servers dream.
    Volleys
    Absolutely the best volleyrs racquet on the market. You would think that because its so head heavy it would not be maneuverable. But because the racquet is so light and the head is relatively small it is quite maneuverable.
    The awesome thing is that volleys at your feet and weird angles are now incredibley returnable. Overheads can be smacked with confindence. Its just an awesome racquet for volleys.
    Feel
    Terrible!! You cannot feel the ball at all. The racquet is so thick that its completely muted. On the other hand if you like a completely muted feel then this racquet is for you!
    Return of serve
    The best on the market. This racquet is so thick that serves bouncing off of it fire back as if they just hit a brick wall. Since the feeling is so muted you cannot even feel the servers power. you just smack it back for a winner with no vibration.
    On top of that the racquet is all sweet spot. Its a returners dream!
    Ground strokes
    Are very solid and powerful. Baseliners will also love this racquet. I fired some cannons from the baseline; however lobs are difficult. Due to the very muted feeling it hard to control this shot.
    Touch shots (droppers, lobs)
    Not the best racuqet for touch. As I have said before you have no feel. The racquet dampens everything.
    spin
    Truly awesome! The ball stays on the racquet quite a bit longer due to the fact that there is no frame to interfere with the ball. Slices were great and topspins really kicked.
