*****THE OFFICIAL HEAD PRO TOUR 630/280 Club*************

[jayserinos99]

I'm looking at my PT630 with Klip Legend 17 mains/Isospeed Pro 17 crosses and I've played with it around 10 hours tops (it's been in the bag mainly since I've been using the PC600) and it's got a bit of notching but I hit a lot of spin. It's locked in and the tension's held up.

Just curious if anyone ever tried putting silicone or anything other than lead on their frame as a means of customizing?

What are your guys's set-ups like?

vsbabolat has tried silicone with some success maybe he can give us a review about how he drills a hole in the butt cap and inject silicone amount etc......... I thought you have injected some nasty foam. Tell us what that was like?

I put some lead above the handle on one of my PT630 and elongated the head shape, it increased my first service percentage by 50%, it was super duper solid but I can not handle it is few sets grinding ground strokes.

about 10 grams at least if not more, that is a lot of weight distributed around the hoop.

sorry Jay, Klip/iso was not for me, it played horrible in my PT630 and rendered my PT630 useless. Klip 18g straight was crispier but did not last long

Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone. About the only thing I'd change is that I'd go a bit lower in tension next time, like 52/58.

OT: I bought a 630 that was a bit wierd...apparently the guy must have changed the pallets because this guy stuck on the old PC600 pallet with the plastic collar on top. I'll link a picture soon enough...

Yeah, I injected that foam-in-a-can insulating crap that you can buy from Home Depot into an old pure drive. It added way to much weight to the frame and never realy gave it the more solid feel I was after. Plus it was a sticky nightmare -impossible to remove. I reccommend just going the lead tape route (easy to manipulate and effective).

ps I tried the isospeed string that Muster used in my PTs and didn't like it either. No feel, and it lost tension worse than poly (even after adding 6lbs of tension).

Count me in fellas. I just received my Pro Tour 630 from Germany and this thing looks brand new. Made in Austria, full CAPS, barcode on the side, black buttcap with the old Head logo on it and not a scratch on her. I'll take pics and post them when I get the chance. Im dying to hit with it, but I have so many pharmacy school applications to fill out. Thanks to VS and Michael Chaho and everyone else for the info.

let me know if you still want to be a member. Personally you should not sell it but if you do you have plenty here that will buy it from you.

The 630's are nice sticks but I like my AG100s and My Prestige C600 as much, if not more. I'm hoping the CAP grommets improve the feel a bit more.

Bud you are #17, I also like the PC600 a bit more but what is the use if I make few more mishits with it. I have to be %100 on to win a close match. With the PT30 you have a bit more room, you can take larger cuts and not worry about framing the ball.

#18, please weight it and take measurements if possible. how much did you buy it for? Just remember our dollar is worth crap almost %50 LESS in Europe. Many European products are very expensive for us to buy

Nice collar, who much weight did it add? probably 10 grams? the beam of the PC600 is 19mm while the PT630 is 20mm, probably there is tape to make it fit snug, is it glued? balance point will be .25cm more HL as well.

Looks nice Jayserino99, I will try put collar for one of my PT630.

VSbabolat, you are my source of infos, which head has 20mm beam and plastic collar?
The Graphite Director most likely has 19mm beam

COngratulation, consider yourself the luckiest person being able to find one these days

[OnyxZ28]

Sorry -- on a digression here ... would the absence of a collar explain why the Classic Mid is less HL and feels less muted than the PC600?

[rorschack]

Just thought some of you might be interested in my finding.

Last night, I hit with the PT630 strung with Gosen Polyon SP 17 (50lb) / Gosen OG Micro 17 (50lb) and the feel was just nasty with vibration all over. I got that solid feel but it was not soft or buttery. However, there were more noticeable ball bite than non-poly setup.

Next, I'll put a soft multi on the main and polyon sp on the cross just to see if it feels a notch better. If not, forget about poly on this racquet.

good point, I also felt my classid mid was different than the Austrian PC600. Classic mid no collar, different pallet (thinner material), and different buttcap, and different leather thickness and quality

I want try Pt630 with cap plus leather grip plus plastic collar, before adding lead tape.

I like the classic without a collar as well, TW first reintroduction , let me know if someone is interested it is 1/2 and 9/10 condition. no marks on frame few bumper rash leather grip in good condition.

I forgot about PLOY on this frame many many years ago, polylon is suppose to be a soft poly but it did not play well in my PT630. Try x-1 biphase 18g with gosen OG 18g cross

[OnyxZ28]

I have all cyberflash on one of my PT630s, and it plays well, although dwell time is noticeably reduced compared to a gut hybrid at the same tension.

The difference of weight between the two is 10g. I need to find my balance beam to measure balance however. Yes, it is glued on.
