I agree. The IG Prestige MP only feels nice when it’s used with a dampener. Even with that, the feel isn’t as good as the Prestige Pro/600/Classic.
Best 'feel' racquets?

It really is so good. It plays amazingly well with a thin poly at low tensions
I like the IG Prestige MP’s feel myself. But the Tour 600 really is in a class of its own

I really liked the IG Prestige Mid.

I have played with the most of those sticks where are mentioned above but the really best are the Fishers Pro No1 from 2008 and back including the previous versions VT 98 Pro since 1992. Nothing compare with the feel of those!!! Also they are absolute vibration free rackets even when you hit with the frame...

Best modern racquet: K90.
Recent production: DR98, POG 100, IG Prestige Mid.
These are also close: Phantom 93P 18/20, PB10 mid, Organix V1Pro.

i played with head ig prestige MP and S for 3 years, last month, i tryed donnay pro one 97 penta...
i sold all my prestige IG last week..
for me, donnay pro one 97 (RA57) is better than IG, and not very not far from prestige classic 660, lighter, more maneuverable, and more enjoyable.

I use to think it wasn't so but I stuffed the handle of my rzr bubba with packing foam (very light stuff) and that really got rid of hollow felling and didn't add weight. It also didn't stiffen up frame. I could see this helping feel on most frames

93P feels solid, but not quite as sweet as a similarly weighted Ultra Tour in terms of pure impact satisfaction.
I'd rate:
Ultra Tour (weighted)
93P
Pro 97

I tried the Ultra Tour and it was cool, but I didn’t get enough time with it to be blown away. I think your list is very strong though. Tough to go wrong with any of those frames

The feel I've enjoyed recently: Head Prestige Tour 600 (also IG Prestige Mid), PT57A (Head Pro Tour 630), Head Radical MP (Liquidmetal, Microgel, YouTek, YouTek IG), Head Graphene Prestige S (almost as much as TGT291.2). I like the feel of Ultra Tour, however I play much better with Pro Staff 97 or Tecnifibre 315 Ltd. P93 feels very good as well.

Pacific tour pro 97 has good feel.

Playing with fresh multi filament always seems to give me good feel no matter what racket i use. For finesse shots I tend to like stiffer rackets with dense string patterns. For ground strokes I tend to like softer rackets with dense string patterns. For serves I tend to like stiff rackets with open string patterns.
So what I'm really saying is that I hate tennis because it gave me GAS.

I can't get away from my leaded up 2014 Pure Strike, it has such a weird satisfying feeling. It feels like a resonant piece of wood.

Have you played other Angell rackets as well? I played only two hours with Custom 97 (18x20, 310g, 310mm, RA67). Are K7 or Custom 95 rackets with RA63 (unstrung) stiffness similar to Custom 97?
I was disappointed with this Angell.

Hi @vsbabolat – do you use mainly 90" rackets or 95" as well? If so – any other 95" rackets apart from PT57A you use?

We need a thread of worst feel racquets, with sub thread devoted to Graphenes.

although it had a lighter than I'd prefer swingweight, the gamma g325 was amazing with touch shouts. 95 head. about 12 ounces strung. 60 flex thin 19mm beam. very nice stick
I've played lots with Angell racquets, I really like the TC97 and right now it's down to a TC97 27.5 that I have or back to my Ezone 98+. Haven't tried the K7 Lime but the K7 Red was by far the most comfortable racquet I'd used since I came back to tennis 6 years ago. I ended up selling mine due to slight control issues. I had a leather grip and prob 6 grams of lead at 9 and 3. Hit a big ball but a tad unstable, I kinda regret selling the K7 Red tho. Red had a big sweetspot compared to the TC97's I've used. I'm curious how I'd like the Lime as I've read it's more stable.
