This is a used tennis racquet with minor paint and/or finish imperfections.  Racquet is structurally and functionally in good condition.   Neat Snauwaert Golden Dyno, circa 1985.  Snauwaert was a very forward-thinking, old-school tennis racquet manufacturer headquartered in Belgium.  In 1984-1985, the Golden Dyno was their flagship model, featuring a composite layup of graphite, fiberglass, aramide (Kevlar) fibers, and wood, for maximum playability.  The racquet shape was designed by tennis racquet guru Warren Bosworth, to maximize uniform response and sweetspot size over its face.  Head size is approximately 85 square inches.  The control and feel from this frame is unparalleled – even more controlled and plush than the legendary benchmark, the Head (Austria) Prestige Classic 600.   This specimen has been in my collection for some time, and has been used very little.  It is a bumperless design, and has only minor scuffs on a “corner” of the hoop – the rest is virginal paint.  The original leather calfskin grip is still present and shows little wear, use, and still has lovely tack.  Grip size is 4-3/8”.  Original cover (matching racquet color scheme unique to the Golden Dyno) is included.  It bears mentioning that there is a minor paint imperfection that looks like it could be a crack at one of the head’s upper “corners” – Snauwaert frames of this era and of the “Dyno” isometric mold were prone to more stress in their four corners than a more orthodox, elliptical frame shape.  There does not appear to be any structural problems with this frame.   Priority Mail shipping to continental USA is $12.00.  Please take a look at my other auctions for more interesting classic tennis gear.
