I know TW reissued the Prestige Classic several years ago but it has since been discontinued. I was wondering if anyone knew how TW goes about reissuing racquets of yesteryear (ie the recent ones of the Pro Staff 6.0 85). Is there any chance TW will reissue the Prestige Classic 600 again?

interesting fact. back when TW was selling those.. the Flipper almost bought out the stock from TW for his pro career
had them painted black and customized by Nate if there was any doubt those Austrian raquets were good enough for the ATP pro tour...

I think he means Mark Philippoussis...but I might be wrong.

That's pretty interesting, jorel! Anybody else wanna chime in? I'm hoping for this thread to capture the interest of TW so they might consider another run of PC600 reissues.

i'm pretty sure there would be plenty of demand for re-issued PC600. i'd certainly pick up a couple.

There's plenty of demand, at least from posters on here, but with a few exceptions, TW tries to sell the newest rackets. Not "classics".

I have three now. I would get one or two more to last me. I don't think TW cares what racquet they sell as long as the profit margin is acceptable. I am not saying that in a bad way.

It's not up to TW. The brand, in this case HEAD, has to be willing to have the racquets manufactured.

I approve of this thread! The Prestige classic brings back a lot of good memories for me. I wish I had picked up a few the last time TW sold them.

Would the origin of manufacture be of prime importance or would you guys be happy if just the spec and cosmetic were exact? Getting Austrian made frames is not a possibility any more (we have asked repeatedly).
What about a reissue of the PT280? Again, it would be made in China. Chris, TW

As far as the PT 280 is concerned, yes, I think that would also generate a lot of interest as well. Last edited by Passion4Tennis : 08-21-2012 at 08:22 AM. |

Specs/layup/cosmetics for me, both the mid and PT280. TW can do a poll if you guys want to be very sure.
