He beat me to a long distance CL ad. Not sure if these were it but he did pick up a pair of Lime green Prestige 600 for dirt cheap, like $70 for the pair.
To his credit, he did pay more than what the seller was asking for ($15 for the pair)...

Does your Comfort Edge print something like this on the side of the frame? I believe all the Edge should be 81.1.

Cheers MC the comfort edge does not have that on the side. If you got your pc/pt600 and graphite edge could you put them together. Mine fit exactly were throat begins in the head all the way to aout 10 & 2 where the 600 gets bigger.

The first time I strung a PT280, I thought my eyes were deceiving me... after the racquet literally popped off the stringing machine mounts... I thought to myself it sure looks rounder than I recall it being...

Measuring it, it was a quarter of an inch shorter than stock. With the mains/crosses the same tension (kevlar mains/SG crosses at 50#), the racquet head compressed an entire quarter inch.

I later measured it unstrung and it was back to 27".

I cut some strings out of one of my ancient European Graphite Pro frames, earlier. I noticed the frame appeared rounder than usual prior to cutting... so I measured it. It was 26 5/8".

I then cut out the old strings that had been in there, for god knows how long, and re-measured the frame. It's now 27", again... and looks longer and narrower as it should.

Stringing alone caused the frame to compress 3/8" and appear rounder than it should. This is probably the 10th Head frame I've noticed this compression occurring.

Yea this was something I noticed with some of the microgels and a reason I no longer play with them.
