This is a brand new racket that was just released this year, the 2024 model. It is not an older model. Purchased in February of this year at Windsor Seiseki-Sakuragaoka. Since then, it has been used carefully for a total of about 2 hours. I can't see any scratches, including on the grommets. On June 6th of this year, Babolat RPM Blast 125 was strung at 46 pounds at Windsor Machida. However, I don't even remember having a practice hit with it. You can start playing with it right away! The good compatibility between this racket and Blast is also featured on YouTube, so even those who have a favorite setup can enjoy it and then restring it. The original Dunlop racket case, a warranty card with the Windsor Seiseki-Sakuragaoka store stamp, and a Dunlop genuine vibration dampener used by professionals are also included. This is a thoroughbred product with a Windsor guarantee, purchased for over 30,000 yen, not an inexpensive overseas product found online! It is also recommended for those who were considering buying this new racket for around 32,000 yen at a tennis shop. The grip tape is in very clean condition, having been changed a month ago and not used since. I will leave it as is because I cannot guarantee that it can be removed cleanly. Please understand this point. Year of manufacture...2024 DUNLOP
