"Max 200G" Tennis Racquet used by Steffi Graf at the US Open

Injection-molded graphite tennis racquet with clear gut strings painted with a black Dunlop logo. The racquet frame is black with gold and green accents and has an oval head and an open throat. The grip is faceted and covered with a multi-colored cover.

Graf used this racquet to win the 1988 US Open, the last event of her golden Grand Slam year where she won the four major events (AUstralian OPen, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open) as well as the gold medal at the Seoul Olympic Games. The Dunlop "Max 200G" tennis racquet was the first graphite racquet to be constructed using injection molding, rather than the standard process of compression molding (where sheets of graphite and epoxy are hand-formed and then compressed within a mold at high temperatures).
