I have hung onto my trusty Pure Drive Roddick Plus for years, and it's still my favorite Pure Drive iteration. Can't wait to give this version a try!!!

Hey @TW Staff , are we still getting this racket in the US? I saw a promo video you guys did with it, and obviously Brittany mentioned to wait a month, but that was 8 weeks ago. Did Head pull the plug on this release? The tennis season is winding down, but I'd still love to pick up a Prestige...

It has only been about 3 weeks since she last replied—I think I read somewhere else that it’s coming to Tennis Warehouse US in September, which would align with what Brittany said earlier. Not sure if it’s early or late September (which might’ve been why Brittany said “one-ish”). Hopefully...

I am a 4.5 player but don't use crazy amounts of spin--the matches I win are usually when I keep the rallies less than 3-4 shots and attack quickly with driving/flatter shots. I have had an Ezone 98 (newest version) for about 3 months now, and I've been lucky with both types of stringjobs that I...

Thanks for the quick replies/feedback @dmtree and @J-Wildcard. I'm truthfully looking to add a Prestige more as a "fun" racket rather than trying to replace my gamer. Looking forward to further feedback!!

Thanks for your quick reply!! Happy to hear that things are still moving along. I was worried that the previously stated "end of 2024" would turn into "early 2025" or "never." Ya'll are amazing!!

Hey @TW Staff , any further updates or an ETA? I'm trying to decide if it's worth jumping through the hoops to buy it from Europe or to wait for you guys to offer it in the US. Looking forward to it!!

Interested in anybody's feedback as well...I prefer the Prestige Pro 2023 18x20 over the other options I tried (Tour and MP-L). In hopes of getting a little more power/spin compared to the 18x20, I tried to weight up the MP-L so that specs were akin to the Prestige Pro, but I hated it for some...

This makes a lot of sense. I totally understand why companies are doing this, and I appreciate that the same racket line can have variations across different model years to suit a broad range of “feel” preferences. Recently, the push seems to be for more dampening, and I appreciate how that is...

I don't understand your line of thinking... In theory (I realize that this isn't a perfectly realistic scenario, as I concluded in an earlier post), you could have two rackets that are equivalent in all ways except tactile feedback/feel. Eg same length, string pattern, stiffness, shape, weight...

Thank you everybody for genuine, thorough replies. I appreciate the responses (without ridicule of my original question). I wish all forums were this friendly/filled with experienced people like you! I got the answers I was looking for. Thank you!!

Fair point. I think we all hold onto this idea that we can pick and choose our favorite upsides from a few rackets and combine them into a single racket without any downsides. Just not realistic

I guess I should use a different, more specific word than "feel"...but it's hard haha. I was surprised by the power of the Percepts (both the 18x20 and the 16x19). My Aeropros are 345g and have a swingweight of 330-335, so the Percept 100 felt a little light/under powered compared to what I'm...

I've exclusively used two Aeropro Drive GTs for the last 13 years (which were also my first purchase after a Walmart racket), so pretty much any new racket is going to feel "off" to me, initially. I just need to put more time into it. I'm sure once I use something for a week or two, I'll adjust...

I just finished demoing Ezone 98, Ezone 100, Percept 100, and Percept 100D. It honestly wasn't even close when it came down to "fun" and "feel"--the Percept rackets were both waaaaaayyyy better to me. I felt like they were crisp, had phenomenal feedback from the ball strike (with and without a...

ahhh my bad, I confused you with someone else who responded to me and plays with an ezone. Sorry about that!!! Thank you again for your help/suggestions. I haven't posted here in years, so I appreciate the kind responses and warm welcome. Have a great weekend!

This was a perfect reply. THANK YOU. I have a couple reels of Max Power and Max Power Rough, so I'll string em up as crosses and go from there. Did you have a favorite tension with the gut/max power combo in the Ezone 98? I string Max Power Rough as a full bed at 52.

WOW!!! a 13lb difference? I would've never jumped to that on my first try without a reference like this haha. Good to know that the gut was quite lively below 55--I was planning on trying 55 to start, but maybe I'll up it a couple pounds (not that I'd be able to even detect that difference...

I've tried using the search feature but am struggling to find a head-to-head/direct comment, so I wanted to post here. I'm about to try out a gut/poly hybrid for the first time ever!! I currently string my Ezone 98 with Kirschbaum Max Power Rough at 52lbs (I've used this string exclusively for...
