TAD Davis Cup Classic Tennis Racquet
by Mike Pitzer, 2020
The TAD Davis Classic tennis racquet was probably the most elegant racquet I’d ever seen. I wanted one from the very first time I saw Jorge, one of my tennis teammates in high school, play with it. Simply beautiful. It wasn’t until decades later I was able to buy one on ebay for pennies on the dollar of what it would have cost back in the day. But, I wasn’t buying ti to play with. I was buying it so that I could create this drawing. I still love this racquet.
