PS. This was my favorite Speed (Graphene Limited).

 

[JustTennis76]

My favorite paint job is the Youtek (Prior version to IG). Also love how it plays.

 

[MomentumGT]

Love the look of the PC600 and IG mids. The latest version is growing on me fast tho where I might have to pick one up

 

[JustTennis76]

The only thing I loved about the new frames (2020 models) are the PJ, that’s it. Since this thread is about paint jobs, I’ll stop there.

 

[PistolPete23]

My favorite is the Bumblebee PJ of the Radical MP

 

[Alex78]

I'll give it a go, starting from the Titanium line (even though that one really only applies to the Radical) and thus omitting the real classics:

1. MicroGel
2. Intelligence
3. LiquidMetal
4. Titanium
5. FlexPoint
6. -> last (continuing forward, it seems): A tie for everything asymmetrical

PS: I'm judging the overall design and make no distinctions between Prestige and Radical here.

My favorite PJ for Prestige gotta be the 360+
All red , just so sweet.
Price drop for the 360+ Mid and Pro, perfect time to get these sweet PJs

As for Radical, really like the Graphene Touch version of PJ ( PT57A 16x19 in this would be the ultimate dream for me)

 

[anarosevoli]

360 and 360+ versions of all lines for me, especially Prestige and the bright blue Instinct.

 

[DustinW]

Don't forget about the limited edition Radicals. This one is still my favorite.

 

[esm]

Green/silver PC600, particularly the CAP ones.

I must admit I also like G360+ Prestige paint job. Just realized that except i.Prestige I like all of them!
PT57A in Radical paint job always has this nice feeling of having something available only to top ATP players. Especially like IG, Graphene and Graphene XT with that mold.

 

[cortado]

I've always liked the orangey Youtek/IG Radical MP paint job.
Recent: 360+ Prestige red paint job.

I'm going the opposite direction with some of my choices:

Prestige MP

1. Intelligence
2. Auxetic
3. YouTek IG
4. YouTek
5. Liquidmetal
6. Graphene 360+
7. Graphene XT
8. Graphene
9. Graphene Touch
10. Flexpoint
11. [Blank]
12. Microgel

Even if it's not on the classic Prestige style, I find the i.Prestige to be one of the sexiest and most attractive designs ever.


Radical MP

1. YouTek IG
2. Intelligence
3. Graphene 360
4. YouTek
5. LiquidMetal
6. FlexPoint
7. Titanium
8. Graphene 360+
9. Graphene
10. Graphene XT
11. [Blank]
12. [Blank]
13. [Blank]
14. [Blank]
15. [Blank]
16. [Empty]
17. [Empty]
18. Microgel

I particularly dislike the Microgel Radical - I don't like the orange, I don't like the Microgel black/white pattern, don't like the combination of those three colors... One of the nicest playing Radicals, though.


Speed MP

1. Graphene 360+ [stormtrooper]
2. Graphene Touch
3. Graphene 360
4. YouTek
5. Graphene XT
6. YouTek IG
7. Graphene

No hard feelings against any of the designs. I just dislike the orange-copperish lines on the OG Graphene one at 2' and 7'

 

[Lorenn]

Silver prototype version of Radical 360+.

 

[Power Player]

My all time favorite is the Head PT280.

But for recent frames, I love the new Yonex Vcore pro 97 and the Dunlop CX 200 Tour. Not Head frames, but I think Dunlop did a better PJ for a Head style frame then Head.

 

[Nole Ivanisevic]

1. Graphene Prestige.
2. Head Pro Tour 2.0, black strings, white Head logo, and white overgrip. Dreamy.(and a Head Vibration dampener).
3. Prestige Tour/Classic (Red)

I was one of the first one here in Germany to get the Graphene Prestige racquets for testing, and I was so incredibly excited when I held them in my hand.I play the IG Prestige Pro,sometimes the IG Prestige MP. Then came the test. A metallic, vibrating mess, and the MP version completely lacked stability. If I hadn't known they came from a reliable source, I would have thought they weren't genuine Heads. But we're talking about paint jobs.

As a graphic designer, I must admit I do care about paint jobs. So here are the lists of my favorite HEAD paint jobs within the main lines of products.

But, this has to be the most beautiful racket I've ever seen. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen...

 

[Grafil Injection]

Shout out for Prestige Gold and PT600

Shout out for Prestige Gold and PT600

PT600 the whippiest racket I've ever used. Ridiculously fast throught the air. Crazy stability because of the high static weight, just too small of a headsize for point-play purposes (I'm not good enough).

True, and there are various smaller rackets that are easier to play with.
