So I've been playing with the YTIG Prestige mids since they came out as my GOAT stick. They weren't as heavy as the pro staff line, nor were they stiff or too muted. I stuck some cheap BHBR17 on there and I was in heaven. Yesterday, my buddy brought a 2015 prince textreme 100p and I was absolutely blown away by how good it felt. I literally spent the whole day just putting the strings on the ball instead of swinging and it did so much work for me while feeling absolutely heavenly. Volley and feel felt nice because of the multi that was in it, but the racket itself was just absolutely going through the ball.
With the added lead tape I saw at 3-9, I'm guessing it was at 11.5oz strung just a little head heavy. I weighed my prestiges and they both came just about 12.8oz strung but around 11pts headlight. An entire ounce of difference and almost exact same feel. I didn't feel like I had to change a single thing about how I was hitting except that a few of my flatter shots were going way long because of the multi in there.
Have any of you guys come to a conclusion about what's "better" for you? I'm thinking if i can shed an ounce of weight and still get the same satisfactory feel and plow, there's no reason to stay with the prestige... right?
My mind is just blown from how different the rackets were, but how interchangeable they felt in my hands.
