I'm taking a long trip to Austria for work. I was wondering if sourcing some pro stock frames would be easier since I'll be relatively close to HQ.

If you go to Vienna, you will be quite distanced from Head HQ

I didn't think that. I was just wondering if they are easier to find a local tennis shops or something. Just a shot in the dark.

Peter is the former stringer of Thomas Muster and the story of how he strung the frames overnight in Austria and then sent them to Paris by private jet and Muster won the French Open.
Incidentally, the string weave with which the match ball was hit hangs framed in his store.

LOL. No one can just “walk in” to the Head HQ. It is business just like every other…
And no, they do not sell the pro stocks. They give them to Pros…

That's a shame. I was hoping for a table outside the head office front door with a patchwork tablecloth and a range of pro stocks for sale. Little Austrian man with a Tupperware box for the money . . . . Joe Public rocks up, hands over €15 and walks away with 8 fully customised PT57s . . . .
Could happen.

I have a written invitation from Dr. Mohr to visit the factory, but so far I haven't been able to make it to Kennelbach. Maybe I'll do it this summer.

you make the trek to Kennelbach, see if you can get a tour of the Graphene mines while you're at it

I was just wondering if there were any local shops that might have a cool collection or something. A place to find some gems or rarities

The original data from 1995 is difficult to decipher.
I therefore asked the grandmaster again.
That was frame no. 101, with 373 grams, 328mm balance and RA of 68 and SW 367.

I cannot answer that as they all vary…
But they are about 20g lighter than the retail, more mass toward head and about 10-15 points lower SW

Is it possible to schedule a visit to HEAD HQ in Kennelbach?

One example - I have a TGT345.2 (current Prestige Pro 98 mold) that unstrung is 279g, 314mm balance, and 253 SW w/ leather grip and no lead under the bumper or silicone in the handle. This is pretty much unplayably light and meant to be customized.
The ones I use are modified to around 350g / 340 SW strung.
