Has anyone tried both Head Youtek IG Rad Pro & IG Prestige Pro?

[BlxTennis]

I am currently playing with Youtek IG Rad pro. I really like IG Rad pro but just wondering how different is IG Prestige pro comparing to IG Rad pro in terms of power, spin, control, and feel.

My experience is that the IG Rad Pro has a larger sweetspot than the IG prestige Pro... When you hit the sweetspot the Prestige pro has more control and feel.
Altough, the Rad Pro has a plush feeling that is not comparable to the IGPP., or any other racket..
I haven't noticed any difference in spin and power...

the main difference is the stiffness. the radical has that pronounced flex and noticeable mass in the head, the prestige feels stiffer, lower power. Strongly prefer radical.

I agree with Fed!

The Radical has slightly more flex and power than the Prestige.

Thanks all for the feedback.

Yup, the Radical has more flex and power. The Prestige has a more crisp feel and more control. Due to the added control you can swing more aggressively with the Prestige which translates to more spin IME. I personally prefer the Radical for a power based game (big serve and really heavy groundstrokes, going for the winner immediately), whereas I prefer the Prestige for a controlled all court game based on placement.

What string set up for your IG Rad Pro?

I currently use the ig radical pro and I prefer it over the prestige.
I use Bhbr/n.vy for my string choice.

I had been using Mamba Tennis o-power 1.18g main(58lbs) synthetic gut cross 56lbs. I love this setup as I get pretty good control as well as spin out of it. I just strung up BB hero gut(16L) 58lbs with MSV-coPoly cross 56lbs and really like the feel of pocketing of the natural gut.
