Kneissl White Star Aero

http://www.kantamotwani.com/uvdjkfy This is the “standard” size version of the Kneissl White Star Aero 30 that is also in this museum.  Most of the comments valid for the  “Aero 30” apply to this racquet.  As with the most of the Kneissl racquets of this era this racquet was manufactured in Austria, probably in the same facility as the famous Kneissl snow skis.

see url As with most Kneissl racquets this one is white with red graphics.  I mention this because the red graphics have not withstood the raves of time!  They have turned brown and are not that attractive now.  However, when this was new it was a great looking frame.
