History: Longtime Prestige mid user. Did not like the youtek version so wanted to swithc.
Current equipment: recently bought Donnay Platinum 94
Positive: It is a beautiful racquet. Magical on some shots. I mean it is easy to generate insane topspin as well as good for slicing and dicing. Great for volleys too. All in all a great feeling racquet. When I purchased it I had my doubts as I found neither wilson or prince able to replicate the prestige feel and control. But I do believe Donnay hit a home run with this. It gives prestige like control but abit more forgiving and easier to generate topspin with even though it like the prestige is 18*20. It is great to see Donnay make such a strong comeback with these thin beamed racquets. I know some like them some dont but I love it. However, there is one issue that is bothering me and I want to get some clarity on it from anyone out there as well as Donnay experts such as Kal.
Issue: It liked theprestige both claim to be 7pts head light. However, when I played with it today I felt it to be abit too head heavy. I do not know if it is my imagination but it did not feel the 325 gms it says on the sticker or the 7pts head light on the TW website. I had heard on these message boards about some posters having a bad experience and finding lead tape on the hoop of the Donnay xred racquet. I hope I do not have to take my racquet apart to find if this is there or not? Rest assured I do not feel like taking apart this beautiful object but am worried. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
