Have you hit with the Synergy 26 OS? I'd be interested to know how it compares to the Approach. Also anything comparable to the Graduate which is a fantastic racquet - very spin friendly but with good power.

Thanks mate, but I don't have Facebook.

Kevin, Thanks very much for the kind offer. Unfortunately, I'm really an OS guy. I do have a CTS Graduate 90 and that is a great racquet but I always feel more comfortable with an OS.

I do remember, back in the day, the Synergy range just didn't catch on like the CTS. I can't remember why but I'm sure the feel wasn't quite as good. Regardless, they're near impossible to find here in Australia. The CTS Graduate 110 seems to crop up every now and again but I can't think of when...

I've been playing comp with the CTS Approach 110 and would like a back-up. I realise it's hard to find one in good condition and grip size (and that will ship to Australia), so I thought I could look at one of the second generation CTS frames. Would it be the Synergy 26 or the 24? Is it...

Thanks mate, I'll look at those ones. The Adidas definitely looks like an interesting option.

Thanks for the advice. Given that I only need a bit of extra room in the toe box, not across the entire shoe, the regular one may be a good fit.

Hi all, As the (long) title says: I'd like recommendations of alternatives to the KSwiss shoes listed that provide room in the toe box and increased breathability (I find both KSwiss shoes run extremely hot - and my part of Australia gets VERY warm in summer and throughout most of the year) but...

Thanks mate

Given you're tried other 89.5 Prestige frames, how does the Youtek Prestige Mid compare to the Classic 2.0?

Hi all, Can I get some opinions on the following strings paired with the Prestige Classic. Please be aware, I'm in Australia which means string options are limited and the ones I list are the ones I have easy access to. I appreciate other suggestions, but they won't be of much use. Solinco...

At best it's a piece of fabric pretending to be a leather grip. Regardless, I really do like the racquet and I will be switching to it.

I unwrapped the leather grip and found the main culprit. Despite the cost, Head have included the thinnest leather grip I have ever seen. More like a wafer made of leather than an actual grip. Add to that, the lack of tac and I can see why it felt so 'off'. I tried it with a Fairway leather and...

I have no idea. I used Prestige Mids from the original Prestige Pro (which I still use) up to the Flexpoint. This is the first time I've felt something was 'off' with the grip size (not the shape). Have hit with other Head racquets of late and not had the same experience.

Hi all, I've been demoing the Classic 2.0 the past couple of weeks and am really struck by how small the grip feels. Does the grip size run small or is the Head leather grip unusually thin

TW, Will any of the grommet sets you have available, fit the Microgel Prestige Pro?

Prince Polygut is an older string that was discontinued quite some time ago. Not sure how many will remember it or have played with it. Anyone who does, what do you think is the modern equivalent of Polygut or what replaced it in the Prince lineup - if anything did? I found an old pack the other...

Thanks very much. I did find a couple of older mentions of Babolat International Tour and thought it most likely that was the one. Apparently not sold at TW but one comment about it being sold here in Australia and elsewhere (South Africa I think). Perhaps it was know by another name?

Hi all, I've recently bought a pair of racquets from the auction site and found each was strung with 'Internation Tour'. The brand name wasn't visible but i can still see 'made in France' so I'm assuming it is Babolat International Tour 16 and 17g. Looked around, found it was discontinued ( a...

I've been able to buy two of the 2018 and hope that will keep me going for a little while. Thanks to all who offered opinions and experiences. I am still curious to see how the 2021 will play with thinner gauge and will be testing some Solinco 18, 19 and 20g to see what happens. I'm not...

I haven't checked the specs but I can feel there is a difference. It's not much and they balance out relatively close but the 21 is more headlight. I've added some weight to bring them into line. I have tried thinner gauge strings but I'll keep on testing to see if I find one that works for me.

JD, Thanks for the reply - I didn't think anyone was going to bother. I really have hated the 2021 PD (regular or +). The response (or lack of) just messes with (that's the PG way of saying it) my game and I really don't want to waste my time any further. I've tried 18g and 19g on the 2021 but...

I've been using the PD Plus for the last year, after playing the 2018 model. I've never been able to gel with the 2021 version. The feel is okay but the biggest difference seems in to be in the access to spin. I can still generate spin, of course, but not to the same degree as the 2018 version...

Brittany, Thanks for the quick reply. I'll keep a close eye on the site.

Hi Brittany/TW, Are you still anticipating end of July for the POG OS?

Just as the title says: what string - single or hybrid - have you used that softens the feel of the Pure Aero but isn't so dead it robs it of the inherent power and spin. I've been trying Yonex Poly Tour Pro and its been okay but I feel there has to be much better. Someone suggested Solinco...

Our club will be entering into a sponsorship with Tecnifibre. That being the case, a number of players would like to switch racquets (or up-date old ones) to show support for the new sponsor. However, all are unsure of which frames would be the best match for what they're using. To help speed up...

I did mean the Express 2 but thanks, I’ll have a look at the Adidas.

Sorry, it was meant to read, ‘Hypercourt Express 2’.
