im not stupid i know there are reviews
thats why i asked for a COMPARISON, hopefully by people on the boards that have used both racquets.

 

[mawashi]

If the reviews aren't good enough a comparison with all the info /specs n comments by the tw official reviewers aren't good enough then you need to do your own damn research.

Chris on the MGMP:
" thought this one blew the doors off the Liquidmetal and Flexpoint versions from the baseline."

There are also tons of comparisons between the frames by the posters if you only did a search.

Nuff said.

im not asking you to do me research im asking for someone who has experience, not you, who has played twith the pro version of the mg that can tell me the difference between that and the flexpoint

 

[DizBoiDanny]

IMO i believe the microgel prestige mp is more stable then the flexpoint prestige.

 

[wilsondude]

what about feel and comfort? and what is the pro version like compared to the flexpoint?

Does this answer my question about the pro?
just leave
for everyone else, does the pro have more power than the regular mg prestige mp?

One of the Tennis Warehouse reviewers plays for a team that we beat 9-0 this year twice so I dont take their reviews respectfully anymore =/ sorry I sound like a jacka$$ but thats my opinion.....

I've used the FXP Prestige MP and MG Prestige MP (curently) extinsively. Same string type and tension(PSGwDF @ 58-60 lbs) with same overgrip (Gamma Supreme), both stock. Same flat type (95%) strokes.
The FXP is definetly stiffer and feels as if the ball is hitting the center more. It has a nice weight to it. The MG Prestige MP is much lighter, and to get the same depth like the FXP- swing length has to increase slightly. Slices, groundies, topspin are much better with the MG, but I have to give serves pop to the FXP. The MG is much more comfortable with striking the ball. Easy to hold up at the net, and much more managable for tweeking pinpoint and angle shots.

what do you mean by plow?

'Plow through' IMO means..how heavy a ball is hit, the force of the shot, not how deep, but how hard it comes at your opponent.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but that makes no sense. So, if Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal reviewed racquets you'd play whatever they thought was good? Interesting. I guess that explains why companies pay them.

I have very similar views on these racquets. I have used both the Flexppint Prestige MP and now the MG Prestige Pro. I much prefer the overall feel of the MG series. Much more forgiving and not nearly as stiff IMO. Much more comfortable as well.

Ive been playing with the flexpoint for a week now. I just finished a 6-2 6-1 win practice match 10 minutes ago. I love this stick and idk if its worth giving the mg a try.

True. (comment too short)

 

[TnTBigman]

The MG is much more spin friendly than the FXP. Killer bh approach shot slices and spins. Wide 'run off the court' lefty ad serves and kick serves. Almost as sweet as the LM. If you jump from the FXP to the MG just on a demo, off the bat you won't like lighter weight. But the easy comfort and feel will make you want to see what more this racquet has to offer. 2 g of lead around and under the top of the grip. MG's a keeper.

No, thats a funny way to try and make someone look bad I see how you went about it, eh, what I meant was the guy isn't good what so ever and has been playing the sport for like a year and a half. If some one who has more experience with a racket and in the sport wrote a review or had a opinion, then I would listen to their advice and weigh it accordingly, sorry if I might have offended one of your personal idols... or something like that.

I am a 3.5 weekend warrior and have a LM 4. I am lefty and rely on topspin FH, and on serves, use topspin and sometimes slice, just have to watch out for too much stress on my back. I play singles and doubles at local public courts. On vacation last week, I demo'd for one hr. the 2009 MG Extreme, which one of the club's pros was endorsing. It seemed to be a sweet racquet, if I wanted a new racquet, should I stick with the LM....or is a move to MG the better idea?

Nearing 58, still feelin' great
