TW HEAD Prestige Classic 600 Reissue

[Passion4Tennis]

Bring back the PC600! Well, at least a small batch, anyway.
I need my fix!

[prosealster]

I'd pick up both the pt630 and pc600!!

[NLBwell]

I'd be interested in the PT280/630, but only if it actually felt like the old one with Twaron. I think the Microgel plays as well, but miss the feeling of the Pro Tour.

Spec, composition, and quality control. It doesn't matter what they decide to do with the paintjob, just as long as it's not horrible and a blindfolded Sampras couldn't tell the difference. Though I guess the last part would be impossible.

They're not made in Austria anymore so I have my doubts on the QC part of your request.

Hope TW follows through with this. I know the 25th anniversary prestige (grey circuit board edition) is coming out, but I'd buy an older prestige reissue over that in a second

Search; the info ain't hard to find. This thread is about the PC600/PT280 though.

[Lefty78]

If TW can get HEAD to do a midplus re-release, I strongly recommend that they use the 630 designation as opposed to 280. Sure, it's just a number, but the 630 has an added mystique which will definitely help sales.

In regard to CAP grommets for said racquet, they need to be the proper TK 57, and not the crappy TK 238 if they want to do it right. The frames, of course, need to be drilled with bigger holes for the 57 grommets.

Matchmaker, do you have many PC600s in your collection? I have two, but
I would love to get a few more.

Totally agree!

I have another questions for you. What would be the chance of getting PT57A's, or having the PT280 made to a lighter and more customizable weight? Think that would be awesome if we could get a pro stock type frame that we can make our own.

I will echo this.

A lighter version that was expected to be customized with lead & silicone would be very popular.

I disagree. The general public does not want to waste their time injecting silicone into handles and adding lead tape to their rackets.

+1

Why would we want a PT630 light or a PC600S? We want the real thing.

[anubis]

I'd get one if it was sold here.

[Alex78]

I'd order two - PT 630s, that is.

Need Santa to send us the perfect christmas gift...
