Pro. I was much younger then.

Former YT IG Prestige user and current Prestige Pro 16x19 owner. You will feel comfortable with the specs (mine averaged at 345g w/leather grip, 31.1mm, and 320SW) but the Auxetic 2.0 layup feels distinctively different, so I'd suggest you demo it first. I've had to lead up at 10 and 2 for plow

I'm considering switching from the 2023 Prestige Pro 16x19 to this for lighter static weight and comparable RA and SW. On paper, the specs look comparable. Does anyone have an anecdotal comparison between the two? My only gripe with the Prestige Pro is that the SW came in way lower than the...

If the PT630 was too noodly, then this Aux 2.0 Pro 16x19 would not be a good fit (it has a similar feel with less SW). I would suggest trying out the Prestige MP 18x19 that just arrived in the States, or if you are interested in sticking with 95 sq, the 360+ Graphene Pro (16x19, two generations...

Will TW US carry the respective grommets? I currently play with this racquet and notice TW EU does not offer replacement.

Does anyone have great resources on how to build a DIY version of the courtside portable air conditioners?

You're right. My old eyes got it mixed up with the MP. Crisis averted.

I finally had a chance to measure the swing weight (via Briffidi), which came in at ~315 (avg over 3 racquets). This is way lower than the 325 SW advertised, which is a little disappointing. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

I'm in the US and purchased the racquet from TWE. I then used a package forwarding service in Germany to deliver it to the US.

I strung up a gut/poly hybrid (Luxilon Gut 1.25 @ 55, Luxilon Element 1.25 @ 50), and immediately felt a difference in how the racquet reacted. The racquet flex and ball pocketing were more unified than my previous setup (full bed Yonex PTP 1.15, 49), and I am exerting less energy into neutral...

What is your string set up?

I'm a current 16x19 pro owner. The spin potential is negligible compared to the 18x20 on neutral rallies. I'm starting to feel that string selection and tension matter since the 58RA makes this racquet feel like a noodle.

Tennis background/skill level/playing style: Late 40s. USTA 4.0 Singles & Doubles. Looking to come in & close-out points Current string set-up(s) and preferred tension(s): Yonex PTP 1.15 49 lbs; Gut 55 lbs-Poly 50 lbs What racquet did you use for this playtest? 2023 Head Prestige Pro 16x19...

Exactly what I was referring to, similar to this https://tennislab.com.au/

Former VCore 95 Pro & current Prestige Pro Aux 2.0 16x19 owner here. The VCore Pro was definitely more forgiving in power and spin, and the current Prestige Pro is a control beast. I had to tinker with string tension to replicate similar power/spin(-1 to 2 lbs lower than usual), and lead for...

Since platform racquet is all the craze, it would be great to have more local customizers to help with tinkering.

I've been trying to accomplish the same with string set up on the 2023 Aux 2.0 16x19 pro. I currently have a full bed of PTP 1.15 at 49 lbs and am looking a bit more power and spin. Any poly suggestions I should consider?

Not a clear-cut question, but what are the types of racquet changes a pro like AM would be looking for in the latter leg of their career?

Tension(s) used for playtest: 51 lbs Regular string set up: Yonex PTP 1.15, 51 lbs; Lux Gut/RPM Blast 54/50 lbs, respectively Racquet used for test: 2023 Head Prestige Pro (16x19) Control/Power of test string: 7/10. I had no general issues guiding the ball to the spots I wanted. The string...

Is there a non-cap grommet option for this racquet?

Agree with this. An eventual brand transition from AM to young gen like Sinner . He had a great run.

I hugged my pile of PT630s last night and said I'll never quit on them.

What is going on in Italy? https://x.com/sotennis1/status/1789994775824724306?s=46&t=Qn7rP7p36vlTBvLOT_KEIg

This may be personalized, but my on-court experience btw the 2023 Tour vs. Pro (16x19), is on full stretch and half volley strokes (essentially some version of defensive play). This is where I have experienced the major difference in depth & power. The pro will leave some balls short compared to...

I use the TW private label leather grip (22 x 1.3mm, the thinnest one) to minimize added weight (it weighs 33g). I don't know how much synthetic grips weigh but I'd suspect it's comparable.

Compared to the PT630, my experience so far with the 16x19 on Spin/launch angle is equal (slightly higher is spot on). There is more pop, but I'd attribute it to the different way the racquet flexes rather than the ball pocketing (if that makes sense). Power is comparable to PT630. If you do not...

Thumbs up on Prestige Pro 2023. The 58RA flex is very close to the PT630. My only comment is that Prestige Pro has slightly less plow than the PT630, but it can be managed with lower tension.

The Prestige pro 16x19 disappeared from TWE. Gone for good?

I finally tried out my Prestige Pro 16x19 TWE for about 2 hours yesterday (strung with Yonex PTP 1.15mm at 52lbs), and would agree with the assessment here. It definitely has plow from the 58 RA with less PT630 heft and weight, and felt a lot more like a 95 rather than a 98 sq in. SW felt...

PT57A owner here. Aside from the demand, does it feel less heavy, i.e., less fatigue on serves and on groundstrokes?
