Another Classic: Yonex RexPlay 2

Just strung up another vintage racket for M, a Yonex addict.

M cut out the old strings before I could examine the stringing pattern and shared holes. Took us a while to agree that this stick had a 16x19 pattern instead of 16x20.


String Pattern: 16x19

Mains Skip: 8 Top, 8 Bottom
Shared Holes: 9 Top, 7 Bottom, 9 Bottom
Strung Weight: 352 grams (with new replacement grip)
Strung Balance: 32.0 cm (with new replacement grip)
Estimated Swingweight (strung): 330 kg/cm²

There was lots of creaking and squeaking while tensioning. It could be from the aged grommets and soft flexy hoop. As with all vintage frames, I do not recommend restringing this too often.
