A friend is visiting from the UK and was kind enough to bring along a Nordic Dots Model 99 tennis racquet.

We don’t see many of these here. I was delighted to have the opportunity to go through the specs!

The first thing you will notice is the incredible gloss black finish!  The only adornment is the silver name, Noricdots, and model 99… that’s all!

Next comes the head shape, which is not dramatically different but is notable with the broad top portion.

Then the string pattern is 16 x 20 with a twist (little).  The pattern is really dense through the 13th cross string, then begins to open up as it nears the throat

The expanded string spacing around the periphery is not unusual, but the density at the upper portion is “tight”.

This model 99 is foam-filled and uses a standard foam grip pallet.  The butt cap has an access door for those who want to mess around back there!
