    You need to retake all the pictures above. None of them are clear.

    Actually the brand is ROX. A Taiwanese company closed long ago. They actually made one of the first ISO (more like rectangle) frame. I had one before and it plays great but not very durable 20 years ago. I saw this racquet before. It has a very interesting grommet design. The center 6 (or 8) main and center 6 (or 8) cross are not in line. ie up and down up and down. The smash suppose to go straight even if you have hit off the sweet spot. I never tried it, it was the dealer told me long long time ago from a place far far away. May I ask why you are looking for this racquet's info?

    Not a ROX, the company does not exit any more as far as I know. If you find one, it will be a used one and old. I know the oem also sold it the same one usder different name. I will check and get the name for you. However, I do not believe you can even get the oem one...

    Good luck on your quest.

    This racket was introduced around 1994 to 1995 and also was not popular, I think it is really hardly to get a new one. Material should be mixed with Boron, even you find a new one, it will be still not long lasting.

    If my rememberance is correct, it's shaft is mid flex, so you may find another replacement in this direction. Good luck! :)

    Actually, I have never played with this racket, I just swinged it when it was showing in JUSCO (a department store in HK).

    Just think about the MP66 or other same stiffness with even balance rackets

    You want an egghead? Try Cab 30MS. Best egghead out there. I love it with BG85@21X23
