Here for sale is a very cool vintage Jack Kramer racket. I love to hit with a wood racket to work on form and give my arm a nice shock absorber. I do not know anyone who plays primarily with a wood racket, but they are worth having for an occasional tournament or while working on one's stroke.
When I first bought two wood rackets I was warned about the risks of putting new string into the racket. Nevertheless I insisted, and it has worked out great. The frames were not damaged, which I guess I one of the main concerns, and the string has held up well. That being said, obviously I can’t guarantee the string. I am simple stating that the Jack Kramer racket was restrung about two years ago and I have not had any issues. Having said that, I never really used the rackets. I wish I could make this claim about a new racket, instead of a vintage racket that has played many points and hit many balls. It is reassuring that the rackets were able to take a new string job and played well after the new string was installed. Does this actually make a statement about the racket? I was told it signified that the racket maintained a solid constitution. I would ask your own tennis pro as to the validity of those claims and whether the rackets playability following restringing the stick makes any quantifiable statement about the racket. I just do not know. The only person who expressed concern about the restringing was the local tennis pro. I do think it’s worth noting that the racket has new strings, even though they are not guaranteed. I do not put value on the strings installed on any or my rackets when pricing them, but occasionally it is worth mentioning,
