Description
| Brand: | Slazenger | Model: | Phantom IMF |
| Grip Size: | 4 1/2” | Country/Region of Manufacture: | United Kingdom |
serial no. 51556/415
grip: 4, authentic Slazenger signed genuine leather
pattern: 18 x 20
weight: 374 gr / 13.15 oz strung
material: graphite injectionhead size: cca.85 sq in.
cover: authentic Slazenger Phantom
overall: the unique combination of two the most successful frames of that time - injected Dunlop Max 200G used by McEnroe and Graf, in the famous 'egghead' of probably the stiffest frame of the age - Adidas GTX-Pro used by Ivan Lendl. Slazenger Phantom IMF were made in the same Dunlop factory as the other Dunlop IMF's and was being around for extra short period of time. I took a plenty of HD pictures to show all parts of this very rare stick in excellent condition. This beauty comes strung, ready for play or collect
additional info - no need to read further:
"The Dunlop Max 200g was the first graphite racquet to be constructed using injection molding. Typical racquet construction is done using compression molding, whereby sheets of graphite/epoxy are hand formed, placed into a mold and compressed at high temperatures. Injection molding, as performed by Dunlop for the Max 200g, combined two materials - carbon fiber (graphite) chips and nylon. Dunlop's proprietary name for this blend of materials was Grafil. During the injection molding process, the small graphite chips and nylon (Grafil) were combined, heated and injected into a mold to form the frame (all molds destroyed '90s!). The result was a racquet that was stiffer dynamically than statically. Rick Perry, Dunlop's Director of Research & Development offers, "the measure of resistance on the Max 200g is based on the rate pressure is applied. When pressure is applied at a slow rate, such as on a Babolat RA or RDC machine, the frame will seem very flexible. During fast swings, though, the frame deflects less and thus, returns more energy to the ball." The Max 200g was a true player's racquet, even before this category was created. Although midplus and oversize racquets were available at the time, the Max 200g remained at 85 square inches. It was also one of the first "widebody" racquets, as a result of the injection molding process, measuring 22mm. However, this extra beam width didn't contribute much to frame stiffness, as evidenced by the RDC measurement.
