    Please Help! Deformed/warped Prestige Tour 600

    I guess you are talking about the mains? What I meant is stringing the crosses from bottom to top must be avoided, a mistake usually made by stringers doing one-piece. Always do the crosses from top to bottom, especially important for frames with a soft upper hoop like the classic Prestiges.

    Please Help! Deformed/warped Prestige Tour 600

    Bottom to top stringing.. I believe. A Prestige, and honestly all frames, should never be strung bottom to top.

    Yonex V core duel G330 cross tying knots location

    Top knot is tied on the 3rd cross, meaning you can only use a starting clamp and no starting knot.

    Happy 30th Anniversary HEAD Prestige On Tour Since 1986

    Saw the post on David Wheaton's Graphite Pro and would like to share something interesting although not quite a Prestige. I believe this is one of Wheaton's paintjobs. It is a Graphite Pro mold, the grandfather of Prestige with a Graphite Tour 600 paintjob. The snakeskin throat dampener of the...

    Happy 30th Anniversary HEAD Prestige On Tour Since 1986

    I see, that is another variation then. One question, do you find the Elite Pro string sensitive? I strung one up with a decent poly and it was no good at all, but even with a cheap synthetic gut they are wonderful. But for Prestige, any string is good.

    Are you the original owner? Just thinking could it be one with the sticker but already wore off. Mine is starting to fall off, worrying!

    Happy 30th Anniversary HEAD Prestige On Tour Since 1986

    Yes, I have also seen 3 variations of the dark brown original Prestige Pro, one with the vibration graphics printed on side and the other like mine with a sticker instead, and the very first I believe that just says Twaron Performance. I cannot tell much difference if comparing 2 models of the...

    Happy 30th Anniversary HEAD Prestige On Tour Since 1986

    2nd gen just says 'vibration-control-system' on side. 3rd gen has 'Prestige Pro 600' printed on side and the vibration graphics. Also 2nd gen is around 345g unstrung like the original, but 3rd gen has variations. I even have one at 315g unstrung, could be a pro stock.

    Yes I play with all the strung ones rotating them, I have some more 2nd/3rd gen Prestige Pros that I use on a regular basis, that would be my favourite among all. The new/pristine ones I just keep and admire, had to make a trip back to the hometown to take these photos.:D

    2014 French Open Final: Nadal (1) V Djokovic (2)

    That is how you win a match, actually. Novak is clever, he is changing the tempo to mess up Rafa's rhythm. Rafa started making backhand errors, because all good backhands by Rafa are off a fast ball.

    Sharapova is not screaming now! More like squeaking, which I find amusing. You will know what screaming sounds like towards the end of the match..

    Why do some pro's hit heavy topspin shots that go low over the net?

    Shorten the time the ball travel in the air, while maintaining the kick off the ground for better chance of a winner?

    Head Prestige 600 (Silver/Green) question

    the neon green CAPS are TK10 as well. It seems Head changed to TK52 CAPS starting from around the second batch of Prestige Classic, and the TK52's are also 4g lighter than the original TK10 or non-coded CAPS. Now I have always wanted one of those brown regular TK10's!

    New Graphene Radicals/Prestiges for 2014

    The Graphene Radical paintjob does not look good.. the Prestige much better and red CAPS is interesting, would not mind putting it on the anniversary Prestige MP to see how it looks like.:) Prestige cosmetics look strangely similar to the new Babolat Storm line as well..
