Just because it's old, doesn't make it a classic. Sorry, but I don't think it's a classic.

Since the categorization of "Classic" is so absolute such that, it "must" be x amount of age, then tell me: What is the formula for "Classic"? I'm sure there are some old ancient formula that us youth have overlooked.

Or is it driven by opinions and individual perception?

It's funny that when I included the i.Prestige Mid as a classic, nobody said a peep. But when Ti.Fire Tour/Pro Edition was brought up: "NO NO NO NO NO NO!"

i.Prestige came out years after the Titanium series.

I hope this remains the prevailing opinion. Just bought my 5th frame on the auction site at a very reasonable price. I was the lone bidder. Yea for me!

The retail Ti.Radical MP is a different Mold than the Pro Tour 630.

Among the ones I have played with, in the order of my favor:

1. all austrian made Prestige 600, from "Prestige Pro" to "Classic Mid"
2. Head TXE, the vintage 81 head size, the feeling of this stick is unique. Hard to find a good one since the grommet holes near throat tend to erode into the frame. This is like a daddy for the 600 size mids.
3. Radical 630 original/PT630/TTRadical MP/I.prestigeMP, these are all like twin brothers. These are the main weapons for serious match play nowadays.
