AND JAY SWEID STRUNG IT.
THIS FRAME DISSAPEARED FOR CLOSE TO 20 YEARS. PURCHASED FROM A ASSOCIATE OF JAY SCWEIDWHO ALSO WORKED SIDE BY SIDE WITH JAY AND WAS THEIR FROM THE BEGINNINGTHE DETAILED HISTORY OF THIS RACQUET IS AS FOLLOWS:
AFTER WINNING THE OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL IN ATLANTA IN 1996 AGASSI RETURNEDHIS CUSTOMIZED HEAD RADICAL OS ZEBRA RACQUET TO JAYS CUSTOM STRINGING. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY PUT IN A JAYS CELLO BAG AND LABELED \"OLYMPLIC GOLD). IT WAS PLACED ALONG SIDE THE OTHER SPECIAL SIGNIFICANT RACQUETS WHICH JAYS KEPT SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER RACQUETS I WAS TOLD.IT HAS BEEN IN THIS JAYS CELLO BAG SINCE 1996 SEALED FOR OVER 20 YEARS. PERFECTLY PRESERVED DOWN TO THE TRADEMARK RUBBERBAND. IT WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED TAKEN AND OUT OF THE CELLO LAST WEEK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 21 YEARS FOR PICTURE TAKING. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS STORED REALLY WELL. ITS IN AMAZING ORIGINAL CONDITION. THE GUT IS BROKEN IN SEVERAL PLACES WHICH IS NORMAL FOR ITS AGE. AGASSIS RED AND BLACK HEAD LOGO WHICH WERE STENCILLED ON ALL HIS FRAMES AS HE INSISTED IS STARTING TO FADE .
THIS IS NO ORDINARY RACQUET. THIS IS AGASSI PERSONAL CUSTOMIZED 20X21 HEAD ZEBRA OS FRAME HE USED IN THE FINAL MATCH TO DEFEAT SERGIO BRUGERA 6-2 6-3 6-1 . AS FAR AS I KNOW HE DID NOT BREAK OR SWITCH OUT HIS FRAME BECAUSE HE BEAT BRUGERA IN STRAIGHT SETS.
AGASSI LIKED A TIGHTER STRING PATTERN SO HEAD MADE A CUSTOM 20X21 FOR AGASSI THAT YEAR. AGASSI FRAME HAD A 20 MAIN STRINGS SO 2 EXTRA HOLES HAD TO BE DRILLED IN THE RACQUETBECAUSE OF THE 2 EXTRA HOLES ON THE MAINS . JAY HAD TO STRING THE MAINS WITH KEVLAR BUT RAN SHORT.SO HE HAD TO USE GUT ON THE LAST MAIN STRING ON BOTH SIDES. THAT TURNED OUT TO BE WHERE THE RACQUET STRINGS ON BOTH SIDES BROKE IN STORAGE. LOOK AT PIC NO 6. GUT BECOMES BRITTLE AND USUALLY WILL BREAK EVENTUALLY.ONLY JAY WAS ALLOWED TO TOUCH AGASSI RACQUETS AT THAT TIME.AGASSI WAS VERY FUSSY ABOUT THAT. THIS WAS BEFORE JAY LEFT THE COMPANY TO PERSUE A NEW CARRERTHIS WAS BEFORE ROMAN TOOK OVER THE COMPANY.
THIS IS THE RACQUET THAT BROUGHT THE GOLD METAL TO THE USA!!!!! AND ALSO COMPLETED THE GOLDEN SLAM FOR AGASSI IN 1996!!!!. THIS IS THE LEGENDARY HEAD RACQUET AGASSI MADE FAMOUS NICKNAMED THE ZEBRA. OF THE TENS OF THOUSANDS MADE THIS ONE IS \"THE ORIGINAL ZEBRA\" OWNED AND OPERATED BY AGASSI TO BRING HOME THE GOLD IN ATLANTA IN 1996. ONLY ONE KNOWN AND THIS IS IT.
JAY SCHWEID IS THE OWNER OF JAYS CUSTOM STRINGING (JCS) \"STRINGER TO THE STARS\" AND ANDRE AGASSIS PERSONAL STRINGER AND FRIEND. JAY TRAVELLED WITH AGASSI FOR CLOSE TO A DECADE AND LITERALLY STRUNG THOUSANDS OF AGASIS TENNIS FRAMES. JAY WAS A POPULAR FIGURE AND A FAMILIAR FACE AROUND TENNIS TOURNAMENT SCENE IN THE EARLY DAYS. VERY SUCCESSFUL SOME SAY MAKING OVER A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ASO IT WAS STRANGE FOR HIM TO DROP FROM THE TENNIS SCENE ALTOGETHER...... WHERE WAS JAY??
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED WAS JAY HAD TO GIVE UP TENNIS TO PURSUE HIS DREAMSTENNIS TOOK TO MUCH OF HIS TIME. HE WENT AND CREATED A NEW COMPANY CALL EPHELANTS A NEW YORK MEDIA COMPANY I WAS TOLD HE WAS DOING WELL.JAYS CLIENTS INCLUDED NOT ONLY AGASSI BUT MOST OF THE TOP PROS AT THAT TIME. ANDY RODDICK JENNIFER CAPRIATI ANDREZ GOMEZ MARK PHILIPPUSSIS. MARAT SAFIN TO NAME A FEW. JAY WILL ALWAYS BE THE TRUE STRINGERS TO THE STARS. HE REVOLUTIONIZED THIS WHOLE CUSTOM STRINGING YOU OFTEN HEAR ABOUT ON TV. WARREN BOSWORTH WAS THE FIRST BUT JAY TOOK CUSTOM STINGING BIG TIME TO THE NEXT LEVEL. NOW ITS THE STRINGERS DOWN AT P1 NATE FERGUSON (SAMPRAS PERSONAL STRINGER) AND RON YU AND GLEN THAT ARE GETTING THE PRESS,
JAY ALSO DEVELOPED THE BOX STRINGING TECHNIQUE THAT AGASSI AND MANY OF THE TOP PLAYERS PREFERREDAND MADE HIS EMPLOYEES LEARN IT.JAYS STRINGERS WERE THE BEST IN THE WORLD EVERYONE WORKED FOR JAY. INCLUDING ROMAN PROKES RPNY WHO EVENTUALLY BECAME AGASSIS PERSONAL STRINGER AND EVENTUALLY TOOK OVER THE COMPANYMARIEL HOLLINS MARCELO RIOS PERSONAL STRINGER GRANT MORGAN RODDICKS PERSONAL STRINGER
AGASSI GAVE JAY SEVERAL OF HIS GRAND SLAM FINAL RACQUETS INCLUDING HIS ONLY 1999 GAME USED FRENCH OPEN FINALS (WON) RACQUET AS WELL AS ONE OF HIS 2000 AUSTRALIAN OPEN GAME USED FINALS RACQUET (WON) AND THIS 1997 OLYMPIC GOLD FINALS FRAME.(WON)ALSO ANDREZ GOMEZ GAVE JAY HIS FINAL YONEX R 22 FRENCH OPEN RACQUET (WON)THE ONE HE USE TO DEFEAT THE YOUNG 19 YEAR OLD AGASSI WITH IN THE FINALS OF THE FRENCH OPEN.
OF ALL THE HUNDREDS OF FRAMES THAT JAY HAD PILED AWAY THESE WERE THE CREAM OF THE CROP LOADED WITH HISTORY A STORY TO BE TOLD FOR EVERY GRAND SLAM RACQUET. USUALLY GRAND SLAM FRAMES DO NOT GO ON SALE AND ARE EXTREMELY RAREUSUALLY GRAND SLAM FINAL RACQUETS ARE KEPT BY THE PLAYERS. CONSIDERING ANDRES LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP TO JAY AND HIS GENEROSITY I WAS TOLD HE WAS VERY GENEROUS IM NOT SUPRISED HE WOULD GIVE THEM AS GIFTS.
I GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS FRAME 100 PERCENT. AS FAR AS PRICING I PUT A RANDOM PRICETHEY COULD BE WORTH A LOT MORE THAN THIS. THIS RACQUET IS LOADED WITH HISTORY AND THERE IS ONLY ONE KNOWN. ANDRES AGASSIS FEAT WILL NEVER BE REPEATED EVER.....IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE IN A LIFETIME..THIS IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY ONCE ITS SOLD YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS ONE AGAIN MAYBE FOR A HIGHER PRICE!!!
