in - pair of 4 1/2

jayserinos99 · 08-24-2012, 03:52 PM

2-3 PT630s please. Graphite and Twaron. CAPs.

I Heart Thomas Muster · 08-24-2012, 04:14 PM

Count me in for a legit 4 in 4 3/8 grip. Maybe more.

000KFACTOR90000 · 08-24-2012, 04:44 PM

I'd take 6 (maybe more) in 4 3/8 (graphite/twaron)

West Coast Ace · 08-24-2012, 06:28 PM

I'm a Head guy 'til the day I die. But I want to demo one. If I like it 2 in 4-3/8.

actitans007 · 08-24-2012, 07:52 PM

count me in for 2-3.....4 1/2 grip

Marcus2137 · 08-24-2012, 08:21 PM

4 3/8 I'd take 4x

If 16x19, I'd buy as many as possible, 6-10x

MarrratSafin · 08-24-2012, 08:50 PM

I will take at at least a couple if it is the same frame, but unfortunately there is almost zero chance of having twaron composition in the reissue..

sargeinaz · 08-25-2012, 01:28 AM

I wont lie, if it's a 16x19, I'd give it a demo and if I liked it, I'd buy a couple. But if it ever does come back and it could only be one string pattern, I'd rather it be an 18x20 so all the true pt630 fans could buy some to play with.

fusion91 · 08-25-2012, 05:29 AM

In for 3 at 4 1/2. Graphite and Twaron, CAP.

We know you can make this happen, TW!

Fearsome Forehand · 08-25-2012, 06:46 AM

If it is a 16 x 19, it isn't a Pro Tour 280/630.

Not much incentive for Head (or TW) to do this from a business perspective. They will just be robbing sales from their other players rackets. But, keep dreaming.

Who knows? Since the 20th anniversary of the frame's introduction will be arriving soon, maybe they will re-paint an existing frame blue and sell it as an anniversary edition. Perhaps, what they should do, is market them as PT57's for consumers and sell them for $500+ a pop. But, again they would just be cannibaliizing sales of the existing players racket line so what do they really gain?

BTW, high modulus Twaron (aramid fiber same a Kevlar) is still readily available. I have plenty of old flexible graphite frames that feel great and have no aramid fiber at all. You guys do understand marketing, right? Kevlar and Twaron are like so 20 years ago marketing-wise. It would have to be AeroBioBLXNanoAirGelSuperDuperTwaron nowadays .

While I don't disagree with you, I think that if TW were to be able to bring an order of enough units (which, if they were certain they could sell them all, I'm sure they would try), I would think that Head would look at something, similar to what Wilson did for the PS 6.0 RI earlier this year or last year. I think that if Head were going to do it, TW has enough bargaining power to make it happen.

I again disagree with you. A Pro Tour 630 could have a 16x19 string pattern. A guy by the name of Andy uses one to great affect right now. Doing a SMU for TW will not cannibalize anything. There is a anniversary Prestige MP coming out in the fall paint black and silver. Sounds like that is what you want.
HEAD started using Twaron exactly 26 years ago and Kevlar was 30 years ago for racquets with Kneissl.

arrowtowntennisclub · 08-25-2012, 02:51 PM

hey, iv been a long time lurker and only got round to activating my account now. if the pt630 was reissued i would definitely buy at least 3 frames in 4 3/8 grip size

Maybe, we'll see.

One of the defining characteristics of the PT280/630 was its control oriented 18x20 pattern. A 16x19 is a different animal. Doesn't mean it would not be an interesting frame though.

Was the Electra the first Twaron racket?

purple-n-gold · 08-25-2012, 05:48 PM

Def a pair of the babies in an L3 plz TW

The first Twaron Racquet was the Prestige Pro for EU and TXP for USA. Same racquet different name and different paint for the different markets. They did that a lot back in the day.

bert96 · 08-26-2012, 01:25 AM

with which paintjob do they come, prestige??

Skycat · 08-26-2012, 06:25 PM

Count me in for a pair with 4 3/8 grips.

Blade0324 · 08-27-2012, 06:22 AM

I'd be down for 1 in a 3/8 size.
