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 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!
