I see it on some European sites, but can't find it on USA sellers including TW. Anyone know why it is not out? When it will be available?
You do realize that the 'MP' and the 'Pro' are essentially the same frame, except the 'Pro' weighs more, don't you?Thank you for your response. I just will go back to APD, I guess. The tour model being introduced as a replacement? I'll tweet them about my disappointment. No more HEAD products for me. Their choice not mine.

Brittany, can’t y’all just make a phone call?Head decided not to bring in the Pro to the US market with this update. You would have to ask them for the exact reason. The Pro model has gone in and out of the Extreme line for the last several generations.
Sorry I don't have better news,

If you look at the automated customization app (http://twu.tennis-warehouse.com/cgi-bin/customize.cgi) and plug in the existing specs (ala TW):

You'll see its fairly easy to get there. Either put 10g in the lower portion of the throat, or 9.3g near the butt cap and .7g at noon.
Ah, so the Pro in the 360+ line is actually different this time around. Looks like they've changed the grommets as well.Think the pro has a tighter string spacing this time around though.

Was that the case in the past??Apparently, the Pro has a tighter 16x19 pattern than the MP.
I have only hit with it for an hour so still processing. Seems to have the same power and spin with added stability and comfort. Feels slightly more head light than the previous version as I was able to find shorter angles when I whipped though it.
I think they are more predictable with the new version.How are flat shots?
No. Same pattern in the previous versions.Was that the case in the past??
So, I am confused then why people (@koolpatrol )moving away from Head if this is something completely new and different from the past?No. Same pattern in the previous versions.
They must be talking about the MP, which is the same string pattern as the past. There’s no reason to move away from Head, since they actually took a big leap forward with the 360+ technology. And I’ve been one of their biggest critics.So, I am confused then why people (@koolpatrol )moving away from Head if this is something completely new and different from the past?
The guy above says he's dropping head because they did not bring the PRO version to the US, however, this Pro version is apparently very different from the previous Pro versions (I am not familiar with the extreme lime of rackets beyond the Extreme Tour). I do not see the logic there...They must be talking about the MP, which is the same string pattern as the past.

region specific releases just pi++es people, especially if a racquet that you are deprived of isn´t a niche frame. so if they don´t sell me what i want, i don´t give them what they want (money). seems fair to me.I do not see the logic there...
In that case you are driving...what??region specific releases just pi++es people, especially if a racquet that you are deprived of isn´t a niche frame. so if they don´t sell me what i want, i don´t give them what they want (money). seems fair to me.
has nothing to do with head. if yonex wouldn´t release the ezone tour in europe i would be pi++ed too.
i doubt that racquets are subject to the same amount of regulations than cars.all car brands have regional specific vehicles that you cannot get...
good, than it should be okay if someone won´t do business with you in the future, no feelings got hurt.it is pure business.
No worries however, I still do not understand if new Pro is very different from the previous ones and not brought in to the US, what is preventing the user to try (and if necessary modify) the MP (that could be much closer to the previous Pro)?i doubt that racquets are subject to the same amount of regulations than cars.

Go get the Bab.I want the new and improved " pro " and it is not for sale in the USA. The PRO was the featured model 1 series ago and now they abandoned it and are offering a completely different model that is not at all based on the 2018 PRO. That's it, HEAD has no loyalty to the american customer who wants the updated version of that specific racket. Hence, why I was asking why it is not for sale yet.
I don’t work for head. I wish I did though.They didn't do everything the "pro" users wanted. Do you work for HEAD that you need to defend them? I wasn't looking for people who identify as protectors of the Head corporation. I just was hoping someone had news when it would be available.
Good point, I’m still wondering how to modify the 360+MP to get a tighter string pattern like the 360+Pro....what is preventing the user to try (and if necessary modify) the MP (that could be much closer to the “previous” Pro)?

Which one’s the pissy one?I loved going through this thread and seeing how pissy the OP was, knowing that the dr would come in sooner or later and **** him off even more
"Go with the Bab"
Which one’s the pissy one?
Mine arrived yesterday. Ordered from TW europe. $468 USD for 2 rackets and a bag delivered.
