    Head Gravity 98 16x19 (Coming in 2025!)

    Spot on. Boom Pro 2024 is a very good racquet but the GT is sublime!

    Head Gravity 98 16x19 (Coming in 2025!)

    It does mean you can swap-in a weighted butt cap + couple of grams of Blutak and have the same effect as a leather grip if you prefer syntho grips - this what I did and my GT has a much better balance to it.

    Boom Pro 2024 vs Gravity Tour 98 - too early for a comparison?

    I own both the Boom Pro 2024 and the Gravity Tour - both have a static weight of 343g and both were approximately 308g unstrung. I added about 8g to the handles of both and no lead to the hoop. I don't know the balance point or the swing weight of either but the GT swings heavier and is less...

    Prestige Pro 16x19

    I use the 18x20 version because can't get the 16x19 in my country. I agree switching to gut x poly hybrid in the Prestige Pro was transformative - feel improved and the power boost was significant without any noticeable loss of control - wish I had done this earlier with previous Prestige...

    2023 Head Prestige Pro - any owners change their mind and move onto something else?

    I have typically found all the last 3 iterations of the Prestige Pro (noting that the 360+ was the MP) rock solid at the net. FWIW one area where the gut/poly has really helped is with power on serve.

    2023 Head Prestige Pro - any owners change their mind and move onto something else?

    I am still using the Prestige Pro 2023 and have no plans to change. I put 1g of lead at 3, 9 and 12 and this made the racquet even smoother and gave me improved power and launch angle. Initally, I used a full bed of Head Lynx at 44 and have enjoyed that and have kept one of my frames like that...

    Head Prestige 2023

    An update on the PP 2.0. I have clocked about 8 hrs on court. After 3 hrs I felt like I was struggling for power if I got pushed onto the back foot or was pushed wide and needed play a defensive slice. So I put 1g o f lead on at 3, 9 amd 12 and the racquet became even smoother (not always the...

    Head Prestige 2023

    Thanks for the detailed feedback! Can you compare the 2.0 PP 16 x 19 with the 360+ Prestige MP - it terms of power, spin and comfort please?

    Head Prestige 2023

    I agree with you that the MP-L 2021 is a good frame and has typical Prestige-like control which I liked a lot. I have an elbow joint issue so any racquet with around an RA of 65 is typically too much for me, so that is where my reservations about the frame are based, and while the frame was...

    Head Prestige 2023

    I found the Auxetic 1.0 MP-L too firm for me. It is very low powered in stock form but still has good control. The 2.0 MP-L may be a better option given it is significantly softer. I think on this thread someone asked about the 1.0 MP-L v the Gravity MP. I think the new Auxetic GMP is a great...

    Head Prestige 2023

    I agree, it is quite an improvement feel-wise over the previous model which was also a good racquet but occasionally played too firm despite its RA rating. I also served much better with the 360+ Prestige MP compared to the Auxetic 1.0 PP, but with the new PP serving is a dream, I think the...

    Head Prestige 2023

    Yeah I saw the pic, enlarged it and it says Pro on top of the frame and I counted 16 mains I think - very interesting as this has not so far been mentioned on threads here I believe. It would certainly be a wonderful addition to the line up!

    Head Velocity

    Can anyone give me a sense of how much of a power and comfort boost I could expect if I moved to a full bed of Head Velocity from a full bed of Head Lynx both at 50 pounds please - the racquet is Head Gravity MP 2023?

    Head Graphene 360+ Prestige Tour

    I did not play with the 360+ Prestige Tour but my guess is that the Gravity Tour is more comfortable

    Head Prestige 2021

    I have recently purchased the new Head Auxetic Prestige Pro, and it came pre-strung with Head Lynx probably in the low 50s. I have also used the Graphene 360+ PMP for the last two years and my main racquet. Until 6 weeks ago I always strung the Red PMP with Head Lynx at 44-46 pounds due to elbow...

    Head Graphene 360+ Prestige MP is a winner

    For what its worth I think the Graphene 360+ PMP is a fantastic racquest. I put 1 gram of lead at 3pm, 9pm and 12 and this gave the racquet a boost in power and stability. In terms of strings because of elbow issues I have strung it with Head Lynx at between 44-46 pounds and enjoyed it for about...

    It has been reported on a Talk Tennis thread that they will be launched on 4 November. On Tennisnerd's Prestige review a document is shown that quotes prices in euros and states that the retail launch with be 21 November. Curiously apart from Tennisnerd and some videos done by Japanese retail...

    Is the prestige mp more like the pro tour 630 than the pro tour 2 is?

    Wow - I think the current 360+ PMP has fantastic feel, it is a great racquet.

    Is the prestige mp more like the pro tour 630 than the pro tour 2 is?

    Can you say whether there are significant changes from the 360+ MP beyond the cosmetic and the name change of the MP to the Pro?
