Actual head size of YT Prestige GT MP?

[Nikae]

Specification says 98 sq. inches. To me it feels like its 95 or smaller. Does anyone know the real head size of this racket?

GT?

Anyways, all Prestige MPs are 95 square inches.

I meant IG, sorry.

95? No wonder the racket is very hard to play with...especially on clay vs .. u know what type of players

TW says 98. I think mine says 98 on it but I'd have to confirm. But I have a dunlop bio 200 that's 95 and I can't see any size difference.

In the IG line I believe that Head was still measuring the headsize from the outside of the frame (vs. basically every other company that measures from the inside). Therefore the 98 sq inch measurement is actually comparable to a 95 from other companies.

I believe Head finally switched to "normal" measurements with the Graphene line(?)

nope, they only switched the Radical to a 98 square inch head, the Prestige remains a 95 square inch head.

I also believe that the Mid is now a true 93, not 89.5 as it used to be with the old mold...

And they will burn for doing so.. :-(

They also made the Radical tapered beam.. seriously.. dafuq.. I'm stacking up on those IG Radicals for sure.

It's supposed to ~95 but I feel like it's actually smaller than other popular 95's...
or it's because its relatively elongated (or ellipsoidal) head shape while others
are rounder.

I had made same question to myself. The IG Prestige is a 95 as the Wilson PS95 Classic.

I have checked up!

The new mid is a totally different mid that they rehabilitated from their back catalogue.

The misdescribed 95 size of the Prestige MP seems to be due simply to its old metric name.

The mid was upsized as a 600 and the MP to a 630 even though they were never that large.

This is a myth. Frame surface is about 13 sqin. A 95 measured outside would be 108.
Prestige is a 95. 98 came from rounding of metric surface area to 630.
