The Snauwaert Hi-Ten 30 is one I picked up from a charity shop/thrift store for a few pounds, so imagine my surprise when I I found the same racket priced on eb** for quite a bit more. Snauwaert's innovative reputation is demonstrated here by the extraordinary 12 x 13 stringing pattern. The large space between strings means this racquet can generate considerable bite and put heavy spin on a ball. The strings too are incredibly thick. I have not used this one much - it is more of a talking point in my collection than a stick I use. Plus, I am not sure that if a string broke I could find replacement gut of the same gauge for it. The Hi-Ten was one of a number in the Hi-Ten range that were notable for their spin potential. Definitely the most collectable of the sticks in this collection.
