What about Head Prestige Tour 600?

It is the second best after i.Prestige Mid.

I don't know what the manufacturing code is.

The short time during the 1991 grass court season Goran Ivanisevic used the grey/silver/green Prestige 600 (same exact racquet as the Prestige Pro 600 except for the paint)

That's wild. How did HEAD corporate explain that one?

She was using a Prestige Tour 600. For some reason I think she decided to put the neon green grommets on. Looks pretty cool. There were TK10 traditional grommets in brown she could have put on

Ah! I see! I’d thought Safin always used the PC600. Good to know!

The 292.1 is the closest to the PT10 of any racquet ever made.

How one can check the code of Prestige Tour 600 - whether this is PT10 as well? Are the pallets easy to remove in this rackets?

Also - the suspension grip - was it part of older PT10 familly?

And if my Prestige Tour 600 aren’t PT10 - what other codes they can have and aren’t they closer in feel to PT10 from Innegra Mid?

You can’t change the pallets on the Prestige Tour 600 suspension grip. The suspension grip is just that it’s suspended on the hairpin. And the Prestige Tour 600 has a uniquely shaped hairpin. Other than the different handle system of the Prestige Tour 600 it is the same layup and mold. If it makes you happy to call it a PT10 go ahead

Is it still possible to find this 16x19?

IG Prestige Pro? Classifieds or the auction site.

 

[PT630Wannabe]

That's no IG Prestige Pro. Pro stock Prestige Mid with custom drill pattern.

yes, wondering how rare those are.

 

[PT630Wannabe]

Pretty darn rare.

 

[daddabompa]

It’s pretty much rare indeed.
Mould code should be 237.2 for Microgel Prestige Mid p-j and 237.4 for Youtek one.

Here are some brand new Prestige Pro 600. These are not mine and I can't remember where I got the photo. Sorry to the owner of theses fine racquets as I can't give you the credit you deserve.

Just imagine if HEAD came to their senses and made a very limited run of these to celebrate 30 years of Prestige.

I recently bought a mint condition of this frame. How does this compare to the classic 600? Any tension recommendation for fullbed poly? Thanks

Same racquet under the paint. I would go full bed of gut at 25kg.

 

[Envy]

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. Same weight, flex and balance? Lastly which would play better? Full bed gut or hybrid gut poly on this stick. My regular racquets are 95 sq inches and use a full bed poly

 

[Shangri La]

Does the Dunlop Srixon CX 200 Tour 18x20 play anything close to the PT630/280? It's got good review from TW and is readily available.

 

[PT630Wannabe]

My local shop should be getting the new Dunlops. I should give it a demo.

There’s going to be variances to weight and balance. The layup is identical.

A close-up picture of this wonderful racquet in a modern "dress" directly from Twitter.

That doesn't look like Sonic pro. Sonic pro is less opaque. Yet Robin haase is advertising Sonic pro. What is that mysterious string?

Honestly I had no idea...I was totally focused on that beautiful racket [emoji2956]

 

[McEncock]

I am a bit obsessed with Robin Haase. He was the last atp player that I knew was using pt10. Thanks a lot for this picture daddabompa.

Thanks for your appreciation [emoji4]
I was quite curious too about him still using it...now, as you probably know, he switched to the PT57A...still a great, classic choice.
Plus he seems to be a nice and good guy [emoji6]

 

[McEncock]

yes I know the switch

Since it's not possible to own any classic prestiges anymore, I wouldn't mind fooling myself by having all my Graphene XTs painted like the PC600.

Many of us are proud owners of many pc600 sticks!
I could help you be the owner of a few so it is possible

can't pm you.

 

[vsbabolat]

can't pm you.

You can also find Prestige Classic on the big auction site.

 

[Ultra 2]

Picked this one up for $7.50. A little scarred but structurally sound. A little automotive touch should make her beautiful again.

What is a good price (max) for a second hand Head Prestige Classic 600?

 

[vsbabolat]

Just saw this on my Youtube feed. I wasn't sure if it had been shared here already but thought it may be of interest.

 

[vsbabolat]

What could have been and what should’ve been.
