can anyone shed any light on a racket I have owned for many years, it's a Carlton 2.7x flat shaft. I used it in the late 70's during inter club matches is it still ok to use in match play?
is that a typing error ? I think it's a 3.7x It should be fine to use it in match play. Your stringer will find it a novelty. You may want to try out newer models as these are more easily manoeuvrable when swinging the racquet.
you might want to have it restrung. while a historical artifact, 30+ years old strings probably don't work too well anymore. go easy on the tension. try 20lbs at most.
no it was definitely a 2.7....given to me by an old sports store to try some kind of prototype at the time, I also have a Browning big gun racket I use most club nights very light but stiff.
will try when i finish my night shifts.....the 3.7 comes up on google searches but not the 2.7 so you may be right and I am reading it wrong?
