Since I can't demo the Head Gravity Tour as I'm in the US, I was wondering how this racket compares to the Pro?

I LOVE the Pro, great on all shots, but the main thing is it FEELS AMAZING. But unfortunately, it's just a heavier racket that I can't play much with right now.

So was trying to see what the Tour is like, especially in terms of feel, compared to the Pro.

I played with the Tour 360+ for a few years. Not the same fee as the Pro, mostly bc of the weight I thought, but still a great feel. Evenly balanced, decent pop for a low flex stick. My issue with it was maneuverability, but that kind of goes for all 100’s for me.

No idea how the 360+ tour compares to the new Auxetic.

I think the feel is roughly the same but the Pro has a lot more plow through and the thinner beam makes it a little more comfortable

the Pro is just easier power. the wider beam on the Tour also doenst have as much stability I feel but I havent hit with them both extensively enough

I own both. They are completely different frames. One is simply not a lighter version of the other.
The Tour is based on the same frame as the MP. It is thicker beamed, has a different throat design from the Pro, and well, a completely different beam design in general.
The Tour and MP are sort of like a big blade with a thin and flatter yoke design and a more or less D-shaped hoop.
The Pro is eliptical all around with flattened edges, like the old Speed's were.
The feel is rather different between the two. The Pro feels more solid, not only due to the heft, but it also feels more firm even though it's rated about the same. So it flexes differently.
The Pro is also feels foam filled if I recall. I've loaned my one out, so can't say exactly at the moment. ETA - it isn't foam filled, just feels that way.
All in all, I would say the Pro carries forth some of it's old Speed genetics whereas the MP and Tour are truly a newer design.

Also, if anyone in Europe wants to trade a Pro for my first gen Tour, lemme know.
OK, I got the Pro back. Geziz, this is actually a rather good stick.

if I may borrow this thread ... I fell in love with the Gravity line in the middle of this summer. I always thought I need a firm(er) and heavy(er) racquet until I tried friends Yonex VCore Pro 97 310 which I loved, but at that time lacked power. plus, I had my elbow broken twice in past ten years (last time was 2 years ago) and realised that my elbow does not like heavier racquets. at that time I just thought that my trusty 20 years old racquet is giving me problems, but realised it's heavy racquets (tried some 310+ racquets around me just to confirm it). realised that limit is somewhere around 300/305g unstrung.

someone recommended me Head Gravity line, as I am a really hard spin player and it offers good amount of spin and control. so I demoed Gravity Team and MP. honestly, didn't feel much difference between the two and as I was able to get the Gravity S at that time for a very very nice price, I got myself Gravity S. strung with Volkl V-Torque (24/23) and it plays extremely well. great spin, allows me also to play flats (which many of the demoed racquets didn't, either spin or flats)

now as I have gotten back into the groove I am also getting a feeling that I am overgrowing Gravity S. and honestly, lacks a bit of a puch against heavier hitters. so I wanted to try Gravity Tour, which is not available for testing in my region, so I said okay - lets try Gravity Pro. to put it short and civil - what a racquet!! omg!! but - yes - elbow doesn't approve. I hoped that as I will play through the summer I will gain strength, which I did, but elbow remains a limiting factor. but still - I love the amount of control it gives me, and still brutal amounts of spin - i.e., if I really exaggerated and went completely for spin and not so much for depth, if the ball landed on service line, my hitting buddy could still receive it normally on the baseline. so quite a kick, I dare say. and strung with "normal" string Signum Pro Hyperion, so ... and that's a 18/20 racquet!

so, since I cannot demo the Gravity Tour - how much difference in weight and swingweight there is between the two? I am thinking this way - S and MP are really close together, hardly can tell the difference between the two. if the difference between Tour and Pro is the same, then I am afraid it might still be to heavy ... any inputs maybe?

I mean, the specs are pretty clear. Mine came in 318 strung (the Pro is 335-340). Got it up to 325 for stability and is perfect. It is still a pretty hefty step up from the S in terms of overall mass. I do not think you will find quite as much spin as you would with your S but your overall shot penetration should be better with the Tour. It is a relatively open 18x20 all things considered. I love mine.

A word of advice, when you have arm issues you need to play a little less attention to price and a little more attention to what works. I have friends who have chronic arm issues and don't want to spring for new rackets that they have demoed and liked but didn't want to spend on. I know this sounds privileged but just think about it.

There is no Foam in the Pro...or any Head racket

actually, I just read, that Tour might be closer to MP than Pro - that Tour shares frame with MP, but is 10g heavier and has 18/20 ... which is good, because SW should be elbow friendly, too.

and about arm issues. I completely agree. that's why I extensively tested many many racquets. and you misunderstood me - Gravity S/Team/MP were same to my feeling, that's why I decided for S which was the cheapest at the moment. if MP (the most expensive of the three at the moment of purchase) would suit me (and my arm) better I would go for MP, no doubt about it. actually, at the beginning of the summer, when I got aware of my arm problems, I first bought Yonex Ezone 100, because of the arm friendliness it offers. loved that frame, but was a bit to powerful for my game. that was still when I thought that I prefer stiffer racquets ...

and I played my best tennis with Wilson Blade 104 v8 - I would buy that one for sure if it weren't for a lot of people who warned me that plus size frames are actually more demanding for arm issues. so, even though I had zero complaints from elbow, I decided to skip it. and I still think I should give it a try, longer than a week long demo playtest ...

Hopefully never. Foam filling has a limited lifespan, and once it begins to disintegrate, the racquet feel starts to change. I like the fact that my PC600s and PT600s still play and feel as good as ever after more than a quarter century!

Great feel comes from the layup and foam filling should never be necessary.

I have one PT346.2 - unicorn with 18x19 drill pattern. The layup was created for a Wilson (Blade/H22) player using Novak's mold and the frame is foam filled. I got the 18x19 drill pattern and that makes it a Unicorn. The actual player had a few test frames in other drill pattern... I prefer Head classic frames feel over foam filled

after two days of playing, all I can say is - I love this frame. and I hate this frame.

love it - this is easily the best frame I have ever played with. better than my trusty old Wilson Ceramic FP. the playability and feel it offer. goosebumps! even though it is a completely control oriented frame, it has plenty of pop and it really never lets you down, even when you are on your back foot.
hate it - because high static weight and swing weight are not suitable for my arm. I said to myself, that I will just try and grind through maybe I will get used to extra heft. well, I did, I played some of my best tennis with this racket. but today when I woke up I was barely able to fully extend/pull together my hand ... I think my two-times-broken-elbow is just not in state to cope with such a racket.

so I have to find some middle option, to have a racket around 280-290g, stable and strong enough so I can play against anyone, with Gravity S I can play with almost anyone, but it fails against heavy hitters.

or, as I wanted to do with Gravity Pro - just try and grind it against heavy hitters with Gravity S ... in the end, I am crazy enough ... :-D

A stiffer racket at a lower weight than the Gravity would be comparably stable, but would feel completely different.

If you're pondering the stiff path, consider the Tecnifibre TF-X1. Incredibly stable and a pleasant, albeit totally different feel from the Gravity. I know women who are 110lbs and use this racket effectively. Really good dampening tech for arm comfort too. It's like a rubber insert that takes the sting out but leaves the sensation of clean, crisp contact.

If you want to stay with flexible frames, you'll need a certain amount of weight to make it work. 300g is probably the minimum. I'm not sure what I'd recommend for a light, flexible, stable frame. Not sure it exists as such.

there is only one problem. I had stiffer racket, not really lighter, but light - Yonex Ezone 100 300g and as much as I liked the frame it packed a bit too much power and here and there it felt a bit too stiff. so I sold it and got Gravity S (after quite some demo period) ... during the demo period I also played with VCore Pro 280 and really liked it but guess what - I was told it's too light ... :-D

maybe I'll try to get some demos like Ezone 98L, VCore 98L and maybe even Gravity MP (if they have Gravity Tour that would be a dream, I think it is on the limit but should be okay because I also tested Ezone 98 305 earlier this year and it was ok) ...

Not to pile on too much information, but have you tried the other Head MP rackets? Boom, Speed, and Radical MP all have a unique feel, and they're reasonably lightweight/headlight.

I tried Speed MP and didn't like it. to pingy. tried Radical S, didn't like it, it had a really strange metallic feeling. concluded that since Gravity S and MP are so so similar, it's not worth trying Radical MP as it would be too similar. but have to get it for my hitting partner and will be able to give it a try. waiting for Extreme MP for demo (I am a heavy forehand spin player), when I was picking a racket for my wife I played a little with Boom Team L and actually loved the racket (that was the point when I also started testing Head rackets) but was told that if Ezone is too powerful, Boom MP/Pro would be also too powerful and then didn't go down that road.

funfact - if Gravity Pro is the best racquet I have ever played with, then Boom Team L comes in top 3 for sure, it has a great feel, you can feel that frame is stiff, but then again, it's not, so funky. :D also Boom Team L was racquet which gave me the highest amounts of spin, and it was strung with a normal, round poly string (Volkl V-Star). maybe, because it is a plus lenght frame.

Has anyone had experience with Head Gravity Tour and Prince ATS Textreme 100P ? Both specs are quite similar.
The Gravity Tour is more control oriented. The Prince 100P has significantly more power and spin. It has a 6 main throat vs the Tour's 8.
The denser pattern is noticeable the moment you start swinging as the Prince has a much higher trajectory.

Can't find my ATS pic, but I do have a pic of the 100P Whiteout:

A few to consider:
- Auxetic 2.0 Prestige MPL. Very soft feel, close to gravity in stiffness, lighter, still good without any modification, great spin and control, box beam
- Auxetic 2.0 Boom MP is also a great, improved layup. more powerful than the MPL though.
- Gravity Tour, though different from the Gravity Pro, has the familiar plush feel, is lighter, amazing control

I felt that the tour could get a little launchy at times. The pro doesn’t do that.

The mp lacks stability for me at 4.0
The tour is stable
The pro is super stable

If you want the control of the pro, but lighter, try blade v8 18x20. Twist weight and sweet spot are similar. The blade is 9 grams lighter. I’d put 3 grams in the handle to tail weight.
SW 332 vs. 327

One of the reasons I suspected the Pro was foam filled is because I have one of my Prince Graphite Original mids from college(1992 or so) and it is foam filled and feels very similar to the Gravity Pro as far as vibrations go. I hit with the Prince on occasion, and it still feels great.

How would a customized MP compare to a Pro if you get them pretty close in terms of specs? Thanks!
it's so unstable
and the GP is incredibly stable.

you really can't. you would have to add 20 grams to the hoop
how would the balance work at that point?
add 10-15 grams to the butt cap?
just get a pro :)

I was thinking more about aiming at an underspecced GPro, like around 325-330 SW. Which I prefer to a 335 SW.
I think it's pretty reasonable to bump the SW to the upper 320's and put some weight in the handle to bring the balance closer to the Gpro.

Of course the GPro is more stable in stock form. But I struggled a bit with it's high SW (previous generation), on topspin OHBH mostly.

Since I can't find the Tour anywhere at the moment, I'm looking to either find a low SW Gpro or tinker a bit with an MP to see how it goes.

got it
good luck!!!
I have purchased three GP in the past two weeks
315-316 grams for all three.
the tour is completely diff from the pro, just fyi.
I would say the tour is like an MP
and the MP is like a TEAM.

interesting … I liked the MP. didn’t feel any difference between S and MP, got the S and slowly modded it and now it’s a 104” MP. but … as I play, I am getting back to my form I started longing for some 18x20 - Pro, as much as I love it, is to heavy, but Tour - does it play more like heavier 18x20 MP? or it’s still something completely different?

It’s not hard to find a lighter pro. Mine is 296 sw and I just grabbed one from the store. Also you can use a thinner string and it will add only 30 pts or so.

Silver 7 tour 1.25 is awesome in this frame.

I played some of my best tennis with pro. but it comes with a price - can't really serve well because it’s so hefty and had some arm problems in the past and arm warns me well after playing with it. don’t have the chance to test Tour, that’s why I’m asking … am worried it might be too heavy. on the other hand, was able to play with VCore Pro 310, must find and compare the swingweights …

If you put a full bed of HyperG 120 maybe even less SW.

Hi, can you compare Speed Pro 2022 Auxetic vs Prestige MPL Auxetic 2.0?
I can only compare the Speed Pro Auxetic 2.0 (the upcoming January release) vs. Prestige MPL (any, including 2.0).
- Power is about the same, however, speed has more control
- MPL has higher launch angle and more spin
- Speed comes considerably heavier and higher SW stock
- MPL still needs some weight at 3 and 9 for stability, but then is a sweet stick.
- Biggest difference -- the Speed has no feedback, very muted (no dampeners), the MPL is very communicative and has a great feedback.
- The Auxetic 2.0 MPL is nice and soft, very nice layup

I got my tour and modded it to the exact same spec as my pro -310 grams 296 sw 8 pts hl unstrung spec

The feel of the tour is a lot softer. It’s plusher, but both frames feel great. I think I prefer the pro as it is more connected to the ball in a way, but then I go hit with the tour and the feel is awesome on contact so I’m glad I have both.

For a match I’ll probably always start with the pro because i have more control with it. I can hit a heavier ball probably just due to the confidence I have with the frame. The tour has more free power but I don’t swing as hard so it evens out.

Since they are the same spec I can easily use both for now. The tour really has a soft and classic feel so if you are into hunting down pro stocks for feel, this frame may be a better option. It’s a 100 and is easy to mod.

There are a good amount of 310 gravity pros out there so that is a great option too. The gravity pro plays best for me when the weight is at least 310 and the sw is close to 330 strung. Not a frame id want weighing 300 or 305, personally. It has mass based power.

so, currently I have both, Gravity Tour and Pro for demo ... two completely different racquets. completely. first of all, Tour has Flex Groove ... or lets rather go like this. Tour is pretty much in line with the rest of the Gravity line. Morph Beam (more square like on the yoke, and sharper edge on the inside of the hoop, round on the outer edge). Flex Grove, as said. the only thing similar are grommet holes which are tighter than on the rest of the Gravity line, but then again, even though it's 18x20, the string pattern is different. if you lay Tour on Pro, strings are not overlapping, which is quite interesting. Pro has same frame shape all around, it's a nice oval shape all around the frame. and it is really really sweet to play with, like I said many times - with Gravity Pro, somehow, something happens and my shots become pacy and speedy, with a loth of depth (but not easy), and even though it's 18x20 pattern, I can still produce loads of spin. I only managed an easy half an hour session with both racquets (also testing the Vcore Pro 100L which I bumped from 280g to 305g of weight and it looks very promising) but hoping I'll be able to play more tomorrow. will keep you updated ...

Great feel comes from the layup and foam filling should never be necessary.
is there time span for foam filled handles as in 3-5 years playing 3 times a week

not read it before as some of wilson blades are foam filled and not heard issue of limited lifespan of racquet , it may the case ppl have complained as a result

the tour is FAR more stable than the MP
just wanted to get that out there.
This is why I wish we got this in North America. I really like the GP but for me it's too heavy for multiple set play and the MP is on the other extreme of being a too light.
