    Not mine. Just saw a friend with it. I think it is a thick gauge electrical wire.

    if you swing fast enough and make sure that you are going across the earth's magnetic field, you might be onto something. :)

    wouldnt it rattle?.. i had put solder wire wound on one of my old racquets before.. it rattles after a while...

    4 strips of yonex's tungsten tape will give abt 16-17 grams.. if stuck

    But the racket itself looks nice. Never seen before. It must be a very old or a very new model? NS3000 or NS5000?

    Ha, that's even stupider than me putting cable ties on my racquet head! Removed them before playing.
