Re:Not at all. (Score 1)

I've still got my wooden "Jack Kramer" Wilson racquet, but I would use it only against a player who has agreed to use a wooden racquet too. I was in REI yesterday checking out mountain bikes. No question, we are living in a Golden Age of Equipment. If it's used to compete against someone else -- say, in golf or tennis -- I'm with the Luddites. But if high-tech improvements enhance one's enjoyment of the sport -- shaped skis for us 50-somethings, for instance, or composite-frame mountain bikes -- then I'm all for it. Rick Ackerman
