My Racquet Ratings

My name is Bruce , and I'm a racquetaholic

I can't even remember how I got this habit of accumulating racquets, but I have 20+ now, and it's getting out of control. I know some people have hundreds, so it's nice to know I'm not alone.

I thought I might as well start a blog about them, because I myself am always pleased to read other's opinions about a racquet's characteristics.

Donnay WST Universe

Donnay WST Universe Supermid

I can't even remember how I came by the Donnay, must have been as part of another purchase. It's a clunky looking stick with its thick frame, and the fluoro colours are a 90's Donnay trademark. But it turned out to be a pleasant surprise, doing the control/power balance just fine, thanks. Donnay made their reputation from their wooden racquets, but their composite frames have a lot of fans too.

Be careful though - I believe Donnay got into financial strife, closed down, and the label has been revived - some quite cheap and nasty Donnays around now, as with most major brands. Some of them LOOK like players sticks, and I'd be interested to hear if they are what they appear.

  1. I just picked one of these up for £2, looks great and is fun to play with. Always wanna have a racket in the bag that I can afford to smash, but this Donnay is a keeper!

I'm more than happy to hear your own opinions, even if for some stupid pathetic reason they disagree with mine. :-)
