Nearly out of the box condition. I played with this racquet less than 10 times, because the countervail hurts my elbow. The racquet has what appears to be a slight crack appearing at the base of the racquet hoop (see pictures) and is priced accordingly. It might not even be a crack but it's hard to tell. Grip is Head hydrosorb pro and is strung with Luxilon big banger 16g at 50lbs/sq in. If you take care of it this racquet will play for many more hours.
