New, Unused Vintage Ariax CHAMPIONSHIP ART-1000 L3 Soft Tennis Tennis Racket Wooden This is an Ariax CHAMPIONSHIP ART-1000 L3 wooden soft tennis racket. It's a valuable model, close to the final generation of wooden rackets just before graphite rackets became mainstream. There is some soiling on the surface and inside of the cover. The grip still has the protective film on it, and there is some dust and dirt on the film at the grip end, but it should clean up nicely. Due to aging, there is slight yellowing and a repaired mark on the side of the shaft from storage, but there are no scratches or impact marks on the head or frame, and it is in good condition. The strings are still in their original state, with the fixing threads wrapped around them to prevent slippage and deformation during shipping. If you intend to use it practically, you will need to replace the strings. It has the characteristic flex and stability of a wooden racket and a classic design. As a "CHAMPIONSHIP" series model, it was positioned as a competition-oriented model at the time. Compared to modern rackets, the face size is small, and it is a racket that emphasizes control performance over power. Currently, it can be recommended for practical use, as well as for collecting Showa-era retro sports equipment or for display purposes. Total length: 68.5cm Face (approx.): 29.5cm (height) x 20.5cm (width) Weight (approx.): 250g Other vintage rackets are also on sale. #Kinsparacketlist Shipped via Yu-Pack 100. *Same-day shipping for payments made by 4 p.m.
