🎾 VINTAGE 1988 WILSON PROFILE 95 DUAL TAPER BEAM – GRIP 2 (4 1/4") + ORIGINAL COVER

Up for sale is a genuine piece of tennis history: the legendary 1988 Wilson Profile 95 Dual Taper Beam tennis racket, complete with its original matching silver padded thermal cover.

Co-designed and engineered by Wilson in conjunction with German aerospace pioneer Siegfried Kuebler (bearing the authentic West Germany patent #34 34 898), the Wilson Profile was the world's very first commercially successful "widebody" racket. Its revolutionary Dual Taper aerodynamic beam produced effortless baseline power and stability that completely transformed modern racket engineering. 

While the 110 oversize was a wild rocket launcher, the sought-after 95 sq inch Midplus version was the true player's frame—delivering massive widebody plow-through with pinpoint directional control.
