There's more to life than vintage Rolex

There's also 70's Vilas tennis gear

Totally cool! Now, does one play with collector's tennis gear, or is it simply for decoration/fetish use?

Boy, that brings back memories! While I liked Vilas, I loved to watch Ilie Nastase and then John McEnroe - the bad boys of the court.

Although for many years I wore these:



The Vlias "hard court". Wish they still made them like that.

I do not like vintage women. Rather just the cars and tennis gear.

I do indeed play with the good old Head Vilas on occasion. Can still strike a pretty good shot with it. Have to hit it flush--kind of like hitting the old Wilson staff tour blades in golf--small sweet spot!
