Pleepers
Professional
I inquired there last week -- they said none available (nor in the foreseeable future) and steered me to the MG Prestige.
OK, but the question is if the newer batch was still made with twaron? Anyone know?

Sorry could not post, I am stuck in Southern Kalifornia looking for Pro Tours, will update you when I find a stash of them, wish me good luck.
The PT630 is the closest you are going to get to a PC600 that is slightly more forgiving. With proper stringing it can be even closer. The PC600 plays well with a vast majority of strings and tension but with the PT630 you need to experiment a little with different setups. I managed to "shape" a PT630 to hit like a PC60 at least on serve by manipulating the string tension, elongating the shape of the head by stringing mains at around 40 and cross at around 70.It would be perfect if the PT630 was a PC600 only more forgiving due larger headsize but surely this can't be so?
A slightly off-topic question.
Does the 630 refer exactly to head size in sq cm? Or is it just a model number ?
Actually my backup rack is a Head Ventoris 660. 660 cm converted is 102 sqi. But when I put the face against my 95" main racket, the heads seem to be the same size.
I have searched the net a lot but am coming up with nothing.
this looks like an iprestige MP Mold ( dare I say PT630 mold) I can tell by the wells, the radical are more rounded, the CAP is for sure an iprestige, is there any silicon in butcap? does the butcap have a drilled hole? is that lead covering 6 crosses at 3/9, all ALU rough is an arm killer cut the strings out immediatelyI have a friend who's on the tour. He's not ranked high and plays challengers. He got his MG Prestige PJs so his older "Radical" pj frames landed in my hands.
This baby hits a solid ball!!

I know that there has been alot written about this in other threads but i really dont have the energy to search for it, so heres my question. I own a couple of twin tube zebras, are the zebras very much like the pro tour? It would seem that way to judge by the stats, about the same stiffnes and similar frame. But ive never played a pro tour so i really dont know. And which players on the tour are using the pro tour today?
Ok, I'm in........just paid for a PT 280 (made in austria) in 8.5/10 condition... small chip at 12oclock -_-
I can't wait to get it! I wonder if it will be even better feeling than my classic tour. I was really loving hitting that nice popping noise when I hit the sweet spot today. Definitely a confidence booster
My prediction is that...I'll be able to serve better with it than the larger 660 size classic tour... and I'll have even better plow through than my classic tour.
If my prediction is right... i might have to buy 1 more -_-
this is my shinny glossy black PT630 ( I have three that I painted that way) One I play regularly with, it lost its shine and it is peeling from where I mount it on the stringing machineThat actually looks way better than the original blue paintjob. I like the black a lot! And the white "HEAD" letter stands out quite nicely!
Be interested to see how you fare with such a low power frame. For me (around a 4.0), though the control element was amazing and you've got that unique lush feeling, despite putting in the hours and application, TBH it was too demanding for me... and the no. 1 area where this was most quickly apparent was in the serve dept. Good luck though.
Doesn't the added paint change the play characteristics of the frame?
I was thinking about that before i painted it, so i sanded the factory paint and clearcoat down so the racket was "nacked" without going as deep so i would touch the fibres, then i painted it over the base.
I mean, unless you are a pro player you hardly notice any difference if the overall weigt change 1 or 2 gram.
I don't know if this was brought up, but I know that nowadays many tour players use this racquet under paint jobs, but during the days when the Pro Tour 630 wasn't hiding under a different skin, besides Muster, did any other players use this racquet to success? I mean, when I think of the Pro Tour 630, I think of Muster. But when I think of, let's say, the Pro Staff, there are numerous names. Not to say that the greatness of the Pro Tour is diminished by the lack of players, but I'm just curious. Anyone know? And why has it come to age in terms of use nowadays? Any comments?
how about the 660? prestige classic... any known pros using this racquet? sorry for the off topic. I am getting my PT280 this week
Interesting. Did you use common sand-paper to reomove the factory paint or some other method? If paper, what grit size? Thanks.
Just paid for my 2nd PT280 made in Austria from TheRed.
haven't gotten either stick yet, but will soon.
Anyone know if the handle is able to be shaved down? from 1/2 to 3/8.
oic, where can I get these interchangeable pallets? my local pro shop will have them?
only head ones right?

Good lord man, don't *******ize a Head stick like that!
unified avatar anyone?
by the way what do you think of this guys? e b a y item #: 260223281206
a LM paintjob. they sorta allude that it's a PT280....or PT280 based frame...
have you guys ever coveted one of these?
must have been customized for a pro...wonder what the specs are....although it may be stock PT280 with all that lead that's visible in the hoop
ugh ..........
just leave me be onyx you just sold off a large number of frames which you went through that lead you eventually to the PT didn't you?
There's a big difference between trying/playing with a lot of rackets and thinking differences in equipment results in improved play. (ie. Adding a leather grip and improved serves.)
I'm curious why you continue to use leather grips and poly if you have arm issues?
