Head FXP Racquets _ Feedback and Preference

[RocksZ]

Hi All,

Have been hitting the beloew Head Team Racquets for couple of weeks now -

FXP Fire MP -
Head size: 102 sq. inch
Weight: 9.9 oz (280 g)
Balance: 1/2'' HL (335 mm)
Length: 27 1/3''

FXP Prestige -
Head size: 102 sq. inch
Weight: 10.4 oz (295 g)
Balance: 1/2'' HL (330 mm)
Length: Standard, 27''

FXP Radical -
Beam: 21,5 mm
Head size: 102 sq. in.
Weight: 9.9 oz / 280 g
Balance: 335 mm / 1/3'' HL
Length: Standard, 27''

I think hitting the Fire and Prestige feels pretty similar, although Fire seems to have a better control than prestige. The Prestige ofcourse feels better with the additional weight. Please note that all 3 are HL and thats one of my criteria of selecting to avoid injuries.

I woudl appreciate if people who have had any experience with these above racquest can let me know their preference and concerns if any.

Currently own a V1 classic and was looking for a backup in Fire or Prestige.

Thanks
RockZ

I bought the FXP Radical and i love it. I added 4g of lead tape at the 3 & 9 positions, and another 4g at the handle. It plays awesome and i'm gonna get another one. Couldn't be happier.

Yeh, I think the FXP Radical is a nice stick; but I think I liked the Fire or Prestige more probably because it is not a serious player racquet like the radical and has a little more control in them; not to mention the power

Hope someone has tried the Fire and takes trouble to let it know on the forum.

Thx
RocksZ

The fire played pretty well, only it was soo light, some lead tape, i'd say 10g at 3 and 9 and 15g in the handle should do well...
