Help identifying a Head pro stock

You already ID'd it yourself. TGK238.1.

I thought that would be a MG Prestige Midplus though.

*As I type this I realize my camera batteries are dead. I'll get pics soon enough..

I recently acquired a TGK238.1 and a Radical (Microgel) with no codes in the throat. The Radical has Head calfskin, the black buttcap with the hole in it, cap grommets, no specs printed anywhere (not even for tie offs, etc.).

There is a sticker in the throat, though, and it says "17.10.07 26/26kp DT42". The person I bought these sticks from said she's a friend of a pro, and that the pro asked her to not say who he is (she had something like 8 of the 238.1s and 6 of these Radicals).

Any ideas on what model this could be? The grommets say 'TK 57' and it appears to be 100 sq in and 18x20. There's also a ton of lead packed neatly under the grommets
I'm not terribly familiar with these Head racquets, so any help is appreciated.

The Radical you have is not 100 sq in. If it is sporting TK57 grommets. It is a strong possibility that it is a PT57 which is the same head size as the TGK238.1. But without pics I can only go by you shaky description.

I have a retail Microgel Prestige Pro. Its head is smaller than the 238.1, which is smaller than the Radical. All have the same beam width.

What's shaky about the description? Pretty sure the only detail I left off is the grip size and pallet code, both of which are irrelevant My batteries are charging now, so I'll get pics pretty soon, but in the meantime if I left anything out...let me know.

The MG Prestige Pro and the 238.1 are the same mold different string pattern. That is what I mean about shaky description.

I think I was just doing a crappy job comparing their sizes. You guys convinced me that they are the same, so I went back and compared them again. They are the same size.

I guess we'll just have to wait for my batteries

Hi! i´ve the chance to get one of these in a trade, is aparently a regular MG prestige mp, with no code/specs at the throat:

Is this a regular microgel (tgk) or a pt57???

Thanks!!

The MG Prestige MP and the PT57A are the same mold, hard to tell.
1) Can you take the shot of the CAP Grommet string channel endings. From what I can see, it does NOT look like the 57A stuff, I may be wrong.
2) How does it play, is it soft?

I dont have the racquet yet, i´m considering a trade of one of my regular mg prestiges mids for this one. I´ll make the trade this weekend i´ll see.
As i´m after a couple of mp prestiges, would be a good deal even if is not a pt57
