Maybe will go back to speed and ND will face the Radical or prestige (Something closer to what he really use(?))
Speed was brought in 2009 because of Novak. 2021 Speed Ltd. was created for Novak. so, no.
Gravity (Pro) was created for Zverev, so no.
Those will remain as-is.
So will Prestige Mid for Cilic and Radical Pro for Murray.

Was a little late on the draw for this lol I did see Paul switched to New Balance. I am personally excited to see that since New Balance is one of my fav companies and Paul is one of my favorite younger americans on tour

Seems like Head doesnt put any priority on one of there best lines ever the prestige. Cilic will sell 0 prestiges and if they dont make any lucrative top name endorse it...well then they will only sell in small numbers which is a pity....

Historically, endorsements did not sell Prestige well. It is a special racket not for everyone...
However, they do have a few decent players using Prestige PJ - Popryn, Koepfer, Cilic...

Will be interesting to see if Coco Gauff stays with New Balance. If so, they better be ready to take full advantage. Could be their moment to breakout in a big way.

I was already surprised in the past when she left Nike for New Balance. Perhaps NB promised more money than Nike.

Even though she doesn’t have a contract for awhile now with Nike, Genie Bouchard is now with New Balance. End of an era.

Do you think Yonex will drop Yastremska?
I don’t, she’s good for the brand. She wears their clothes (looks good doing it), shoes and uses a Yonex racquet. This whole thing will blow over and she’ll be back on the courts.

True. When she comes back she still has to be wearing clothes.

The prestige is a very special raquet, much like a wilson pro staff is also a very special raquet, fed has probably sold incredible numbers of pro staffs for wilson. Had he played with a prestige he would have done the same for that line im sure, when you have a player with that kind of star quality the fact that the raquet may not be idealy suited to most players becomes secondary....youve just got to have that stick! This is where head has gone wrong with the prestige, the could have had both Djoker and Murray endorse it and things would have been very different. Do you know why Fed started playing with the ps 85? He said so in an interview. Because Pistol Pete was using it. Which young player is going to pick up a prestige because their favourite player is using it? No one, cause no one has a favourite player anymore using a prestige. Instead you see young players that started playing with the prestige and doing great switching to other raquets, Thiem and recently also Lorenzo Muzetti to mention a couple. Maybe they just dont see their role models using them and therefore don't think they are the best sticks. If Head doesnt get some star quality players to that line its all downhill for that line regardless of how good the sticks are....
