Gravity Pro vs Prince Classic Graphite 100

[BHold81]

I use the PCG 100 (27" with a little lead at 2&10) as my main racquet. I love the feel of the 100" head with a thin beam. The PCG is a 16x18, and the dense 18x20 pattern of the Gravity has me very interested in it. Can anyone that has used both give me a comparison? Thanks in advance!

Did you ever find out? I'd be curious as well.

dang, old question but I have played both, albeit not at the same time. i owned a PCG100 several years back.

you would think the racquets are fairly similar, but that was not my experience. the PCG is a very traditional racquet, whereas the GPro is a modern take on a traditional racquet. the PCG has a heavier static weight, but it isnt polarized at all. meanwhile the GPro weighs 315 g unstrung but has a 330-340 SW.

i hit a more “modern” topspin forehand with a not-quite-full western grip. BH is two-handed topspin. I dont have a real slice BH, just a chip and dropper when needed. for me, the GPro hit a MUCH meaner ball. the PCG always produced a fairly anemic ball for me, no matter which strings I used. meanwhile, provided I wasnt tired, i could really clobber the ball with the GPro.

long story short, I found the GPro superior in all respects. but thats due to the way i play. if you are used to the way the PCG plays and have more traditional flat strokes, you might hate it.

Thanks for the reply n8dawg6. I forgot I even asked the question haha. I moved on from the PCG, but never hit the Gravity Pro. Now I'm going to have to.

Thanks for that. What weight/string/tension setup did you like the best for your Gravity Pro?
