I've hit with both, the Microgel Extreme (not pro) and a Flexpoint Radical, both were strung with Isospeed Baseline 17g at 58 lbs. The Extreme is the closest thing I've found to the Pure Drive (which isn't a surprise, since that's why they started producing it). The Extreme has a noticeably more power than the Radical, mostly due to it's more open string pattern.

Half true.

False.

Or do you think these are old left over Safin or Lundgren racquets.
Pic was from Dimitrov's facebook

It means the prestige classic is much better than the newer prestiges. It's the most torsionally stable frames i've ever hit with, it's buttery smooth as you hit the ball and you know just from hitting where the ball hit the strings and there's just something that tells you where the ball is going. It took me 15 minutes hitting with the prestige classic to be sure that it beat out all other head racquets i've used.

Really? I thought the Extreme was made to counter the AeroPro Drive.

The Aeropro Drive and Pure Drive are the same thing IMO, the only difference is the throat design.

IMO, the Aero Pro Drive is less stable, but more spin friendly, while the Pure Drive is much stiffer, but allows you to bomb the ball. Either way, all three of the Rackets are unstable, which is why all 6 of mine are heavily customized...

Agreed, hence why I switched as soon as I realized there was such a thing as stability in a racquet.

As far as I know, the Prestige Classic is probably the best Head racquet a lot of head pros use it under the paint.

So nothing wrong with Grigor having used the prestige classic, but now he uses Wilson
