Ok, I just got a PT 630 today - did a trade for it, but I won't go into details. Anyway, I play with the FXP Prestige MP, and it is very sweet, but I wanted to find out what the PT's were like.
First thing I noticed about the PT was that it was about 1/2" longer than my standard length FXP. I had never heard it mentioned that the PT's were extended, so I'm guessing this might be a custom stick that someone had lengthened.
I strung up the PT with the exact same string and tension as my FXP and headed out to hit against the practice wall. The very first thing I noticed was how stiff the PT felt. It was liking hitting with a board compared to my FXP. Almost every shot felt like a mishit, I was very surprised because I have heard so many positive things about the PT. I hit for about 20 minutes, and could never seem to find the sweetspot.
So, I guess my question is: was the PT ever released in a 27.5", and is the feel of the PT supposed to be so unforgiving? I have hit with all of the 630 Prestige's: i.Prestige MP, Liquidmetal Prestige MP, and now Flexpoint Prestige MP. Each is different but they all have a similar feel that the PT630 did not. Bottom line is, are PT's a version of the Prestige, or a separate model line?
