Looking at the butt of the handle, it say's W, which stands for Wilson, and under the W, it says China in very small letters. About $13.84, orange & black, titanium raquet in about 4 different grip sizes. For 13.84 it is a terrific buy. The most expensive Wal-Mart raquet costs about $34.00 and is some type of plastic. The tennis balls......do not know...but probably made in China too, for 50-cents /ball.

Understand that Roger Federer has won about 60-million dollars playing tennis, the last ten years, and Serena Williams....about 30-million. Do they use a $13.84 raquet.....probably not?

Anyway, and most important to all, while most all of the factory jobs have left Ashland, at least there's still the two tennis courts....
