hit my youtek mp at the same time as the 360. I'd rather take the youtek every time.
I can tell you it's has a soft feel. You also get more pop from the upper part of the hoop. I'm dying to post my video but.....NDA.
Its alot like the gravity. Has the same fibers. More precision oriented.

I'll bet that TT quickly regretted slumming it once sober and slunk away just before dawn...Its kinda like the vcore 95 and the textreme tour 100 tour had a baby.
The YT Prestige MP is the TGK238.4, not an PT57. I thought it was pretty stiff. Not my favorite.I have a pair of the YT MP with the d3o hologram. I was trying to find pictures online of the IG version to compare cosmetics with my YT. I keep hearing the YT IG was a great frame
@vsbabolat different thread and all...but does the YT MP d3o fall in the PT57 family? and what did you think about this frame? It hits the scales lighter than my PT57E.
Thanks. Just posted in the PT57 thread pretty much the same question plus another.The YT Prestige MP is the TGK238.4, not an PT57. I thought it was pretty stiff. Not my favorite.
Ok but all the prestige MPs have been the same shape (hairpin) up till now?The YT Prestige MP is the TGK238.4, not an PT57. I thought it was pretty stiff. Not my favorite.
No, The molds have been similar and slight changes. The i.Prestige MP is TK57E has pointed grooves in the throat, the LM Prestige MP (I don’t remember the production code anymore) had a flat throat no grooves with ridges at 10, 2, 4, 8 o’clock, the Flexpoint Prestige MP flat throat Flexpoint dimples with LM ridges, Microgel Prestige MP TGK238.1 is very similar to the Pro Tour 630 except the MG Prestige grommet channel doesn’t extend past the grommet channel, YT Prestige TGK238.4 same mold as MG Prestige MP, IG Prestige MP mold change TGK293.2. It has a longer grip than the 238 series. TGK293 mold has been used on all the Graphene Prestige MP’s up until the 360 Graphene Prestige MP where there has been a complete redesign and is a completely new and different Mold.Ok but all the prestige MPs have been the same shape (hairpin) up till now?
The differing codes due to layup additives?
The i.Prestige MP is TK57E.
i.Prestige MPReally. What retail frame was the pt57e?
Think I've got it. The retail sticks are tk code and the pro stocks are pt. Saw on one of your posts that TK is tennis kennelbach[emoji1]i.Prestige MP
Only on Austrian framesThink I've got it. The retail sticks are tk code and the pro stocks are pt.
how is the weight??
does it feel heavy? unwieldy? like the past prestige?
Mine was a 331Beefed up SW but haven't put it on RDS so dont know exactly. I'd say around 325-330.
It really doesn't look that bad in person but it would look better with the burgundy in the throat and black with red writing in the hoop!I don't get the guys saying it doesn't look bad. Red on red? One fluorescent and the other burgundy? This is the death of good taste, some graphic designer deserves to lose their job. The bright cap grommets are the worst insult to injury, too.
I wonder if they brought back the pro tour 6:30 if the JR's would like it?HEAD has no interest in selling an update to the Pro Tour 630. Think about it. HEAD discontinued the Pro Tour 630 and replaced it with the Premier Tour 600. That was a WTF moment. While the Pro Tour 630 is still being used on the ATP tour to this day the Premier Tour died after 1999 never to be produced again.
I wonder if they brought back the pro tour 6:30 if the JR's would like it?
I would reverse this and do the burgundy hoop with a black throat.It really doesn't look that bad in person but it would look better with the burgundy in the throat and black with red writing in the hoop!
They would have to give the Pro Tour 630 a modern paint job. I have given my Pro Tour 630’s with Graphene Prestige MP paint jobs to juniors and the were blown away by how good it feels and how it has more power than a modern than the XT Prestige MP.I wonder if they brought back the pro tour 6:30 if the JR's would like it?
I don't know why they went with the red hoop, if they made the prestige black with a burgundy throat and red writing it would look clean like the speed. They must have a reason why they dont use Andy Murray's frame! Im sure they will come up with a new material after the 360+?They would have to give the Pro Tour 630 a modern paint job.

They don't listen to me you know that i just go to clubs and do the Demo events and get product i can't complain!Well, since Head loves you so much you should tell them to bring it back and then we’ll see!
Yes, they will come up with some new BS marketing that’s not really in the racquet.I don't know why they went with the red hoop, if they made the prestige black with a burgundy throat and red writing it would look clean like the speed.

Yes the Graphene came from the Ski'sYes, they will come up with some new BS marketing that’s not really in the racquet.
There’s no Graphene in those racquets and skis. You’re a pretty naive guy that’s supposedly been around the tennis industry all these yearsYes the Graphene came from the Ski's
Oki. I’m seriously hoping that’s a jokeYes the Graphene came from the Ski's
Isn't this a prestige thread? Also last I checked there as a gravity thread in this very forum with many many postsHave any of you hit with the Gravity? What do you think?
Why’s doesn’t the Prestige MP feel like an old Prestige? Why is the Prestige MP thick beam at 22mm now and not 20mm. Why has the Prestige MP been a stiff hollow feeling racquet with a lot of vibration? Why doesn’t HEAD want the Prestige MP to feel nice and plush?Yes i think the Gravity feels like a old prestige?
When you have a racquet made from molded hardened broken glass, its hard to make it plushWhy’s doesn’t the Prestige MP feel like an old Prestige? Why is the Prestige MP thick beam at 22mm now and not 20mm. Why has the Prestige MP been a stiff hollow feeling racquet with a lot of vibration? Why doesn’t HEAD want the Prestige MP to feel nice and plush?
They sell a lot of Speed’s for one reason and that reason is Djokovic. What Djokovic is using isn’t even close to what they are selling. Basically what Djokovic is using is a Radical MP (95 headsize) PT113B.Maybe if they get a good response fro the Gravity Pro thats a 20m beam they might try that who knows they just made the speed a 23m beam from 22m? And they are selling alot of speeds! I couldn't tell you there reasoning for there racket making process? Ive hit with the new Prestige and it feels better than the touch models they don't feel hollow.
HEAD has no interest in giving people what they want and they have no interest in selling what their Pros use.I've known that since he first started play with head the average player dosent care about the technology of the racket most players go for the look of the rackets unfortunately. All you have to do is goggle it to see what the players are playing with, If you look at the Head website it says player's might not be playing with the rackets they represent! You have to be pretty dumb if you think you can buy what Djokovic is playing with! It seems to me allot of people think they are a racket Technician?
I must have a terrible taste (*I do not dispute that!), but I find the new color scheme attractive. Love the paint job.It really doesn't look that bad in person but it would look better with the burgundy in the throat and black with red writing in the hoop!
The touch versions were the complete nadir for head graphene garbage frames so 360 still has alot to prove.i like it to i hit with the MP and Tour yesterday it feels better than the touch models that's my opinion.
Numbers are way down on the PresitgeWho knows im sure it comes down to numbers and right now they are selling allot of rackets even though the average racket costs $200+
I know and HEAD doesn’t care anymore how the racquets feel or play. That’s obviousIf they had a top player endorsing it the numbers would be up like the speed.You know the numbers have nothing to do with the feel of the racket.
Then why have the racquets been so bad for the last 6 years. Consistently bad. It’s done on purposeI don't know about that.
You’re right they’re incompetentWhy would a company make a product bad on purpose, of course they promote a new model!
I wonder why juniors all like my Pro Tour 630 in Prestige paint job?We are going to have to face the facts they aren't going to make a racket from the 90s! Jr's play nothing we did in the late 80s through the 90s.
Hmmm... ok, I'll take a swing at this.I wonder why juniors all like my Pro Tour 630 in Prestige paint job?
I wonder why Wilson designed the Blade to feel plush and comfortable like the racquets were in the late 80’s early 90’s.
Agreed! As was at an academy recently and there was no Prestige at all used by any juniors. Number 1 racquet at the academy was the the Wilson Blade by far. There was Ultra, Babolat Pure Drive, Pure Aero, Pure Strike, Yonex Ezone, and Yonex Vcore Pro 97.Prestige used to be a dominant college racket as well and head lost that share to the blade because they messed with it too much. The current blade is more prestige than the prestige
