John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.
The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.

"There never was a man in the world without a creed. What is a creed? A creed is what you believe. What is a confession? It is a declaration of what you believe. That declaration may be oral or it may be committed to writing, but the creed is there either expressed or implied."—B.H. Carroll

It's hard to compare the new player to the greats, like Bjorn Borg, who was not only the greatest, but great to watch. They didn't have all the modern equipment back then, so it's hard to compare them. Wooden vrs modern alloys? Who knows?

However, those who played with wooden rackets played against others with wooden rackets. And those with alloy rackests had to play against those with alloy rackets. I don't think the equipment can factor into the decision.
