Racquets haven't really changed that much. Sadly, my body has—I'm like the only person on earth who likes the Prestige Rev Pros. Hahaha

Awesome! I remember this racquet well from back in the 80s. Back then, I played with a TXD, which I think is the same mold but much stiffer than the Comp Dir. Just love these old Head racquets.

I'm one of the few people who actually likes the Prestige Rev Pro. Does anyone know if the CAP grommets from the Prestige S will fit the Rev Pro? I'm referring to the original Prestige Rev Pro and not the current XT version.

You're not alone. Took me a while but I've come to love the Rev Pro. This after playing with Prestige Mids since they were called TXPs. I've gotten older and my shoulder more fragile, so I appreciate the lighter static weight, but really like that it retains a high-ish swingweight.

Whoops! Sorry...meant to say LIRR. This is what happens after a long day and a couple brewskis.

For the ride back to Times Square, you might want to consider taking the PATH train to Penn Station. It's a faster ride and depending on how tired you are, taking the 7 back might be very tedious. This is especially true if you stay through all of the night session.

The country of manufacture has nothing to do with it. There've been variations in the Prestige recipe going all the way back to the beginning, all of them made in Austria. If you hit with say, an original brown Prestige or TXP versus say, a Trek font Prestige 600, they feel quite different...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm used to paying dues...just depends on how much they are and how high they are. Do you guys know what West End charges? Also, it appears that it's in Redondo Beach...how's the travel time to say, downtown L.A.?

Any updates on this possible re-issue? I'm not picky about country of manufacture, as long as the QC and consistency between frames is there.

Hey there, thanks for responding! To clarify, I'm not looking for golf at all. Just tennis. A club/center would be ideal—somewhere with a good number of courts that are lit, since I'll probably have to play after work. Not looking for clinics, but the occasional hit with a pro would be good. In...

My wife and I are moving to LA in a couple months. Apart from finding a place to live, finding a new club will be high on my list of priorities and will factor into where we live. While we haven't settled on any part of LA yet, our inclination is to stay somewhere on the Mid-City to the West...

That's interesting. I didn't get one. What did yours say? Did it show the tickets and dates you purchased? I'm just worried if the purchase actually went through for me. I tried going on the site again to purchase more tickets and it indicated that I wasn't able to purchase any more than I...

I got tickets for 5/27 Chartrier and 5/28 Suzanne Lenglen. I never got an email confirmation or anything. Just the screen that said that tickets would be made available in April. Did anyone else see this?

No idea what the numerical rating is, but the Rossignol F200 is by far the most flexible racquet I've ever owned or hit with. Makes the Prince Exo3 Tour feel like an ultra-stiff frame.

The bag is pretty, but as dr325i said, it's not very functional. This drives me crazy because Head already has bag designs that are far more thoughtful in terms of interior and exterior utility pockets. I ended up buying a small travel kit bag from my local pharmacy for $20 to hold my grips and...

According to the official site, tix go on sale February 13 to the general public. I just checked because I'm planning to go this year. Good luck!

The best current Prestige is whichever one you play best with. The Pro does make more spin a bit more easily. It's also the most powerful of the lot. Depending on the way you hit, this may or may not be the best option. For me, the Pro was a tad difficult to control if I wanted to hit a cleaner...

Cool, thanks for the info.

Just saw that the current Feather II shoes are all on sale. Are we getting new colorways soon? I'm looking to pick up a pair but would like to see the new colors if any are coming, before pulling the trigger.

Just wondering if TW will be carrying the White/Black colorway? I'd rather buy from you guys if this color is coming in the near future.

5 days would be generous. It's my favorite shoe of all time but the sole is ridiculously thin and if you even remotely toe-drag, you'll be lucky if you don't wear through to the stitching your first time out. I still have a brand new pair in the box stashed away and I'll wear my other pair for...

Hi TW, I was looking to order a Head leather grip this evening and was surprised to see that it's no longer listed. Are you guys out of stock or has the grip been discontinued?

Update: I'm now more convinced than ever that the White CAPs feel different from the Black CAPs. I strung both my IG Prestige Mids with Head Sonic Pro at the same tension (50m/48c) and hit with both today. Same results: White CAPs feel softer, Black CAPs feel crisper. The ONLY possible...

My 9 pack that I purchased above has held up really well. Really very happy with this bag so far. It's gotten a surprising amount of attention at the club I play at as well, with a lot of people asking me where I got it. I often have it loaded with lots of heavy, non-tennis stuff like a 15-inch...

I thought the Clear would be lighter as well. They certainly seem less durable—mine sheared away when I framed a ball on a return of a serve. Granted, it was a huge serve, but I've never ever cracked any Prestige grommets this way, going all the way back to the TXP. That said, my IG Prestige Mid...

I agree that the IG frames feel much softer—that's exactly why I love them (feels very much like my Trek font Prestiges.) I didn't think the grommets could alter the feel that much, but I have one IG Prestige Mid with the factory white grommet, while I have the MG grommet on my other IGPM. They...

OK, am I crazy or do the new IG grommets feel different from the old YouTek/Microgel black grommets?!? I had to replace the CAPs on one of my IG Prestige Mids when a framed return caused the grommet to shear off. At the time, the IG CAPs were sold out, so I just replaced it with a...

I see what you're getting at, but it's not exactly accurate. Those suits did, indeed, allow swimmers to swim faster—to the extent that world records were being set at an unprecedented rate. But the thing that made it unfair was the fact that the suit technology was owned by one equipment...

Which is why I prefer the single Big Bold Bear. They're super sized. And they look like they're busting out of a poly prison.

Here's a pic of my current fav dampener: https://picasaweb.google.com/115805555372192453915/June122012 Trolli Big Bold in Red. Perfect match for my IG Prestige Mid. Lots of others to choose from. $1.79 from my local Walgreens.
