Head Graphene Prestige MP (2014) vs Graphene 360+ Pro/Auxetic Tour

[AdamKJor]

Hello,

I recently bought an Auxetic Prestige Pro which is great, though I sometimes struggle a bit with the flight-path (ball sailing) and power-generation. I used to play with the 2014 Graphene Prestige, and had to use it again as my Auxetic's strings popped yesterday. I felt the power-generation issues were less with the GPMP, and though the hollower feel was a bit weird, I have to say the slightly thicker beam was nice, and the 95 head was actually preferrable to the new true 98.

This made me curious about the new Prestige Pro/Tour lines. Though I've liked the idea of a slightly thicker frame, I don't enjoy Radical's due to their crispness, and the Prestige Pro seems to be in a similar ballpark. Woould anyone be able to tell me what the feel's llike on them?

I wouldn't be concerned too much in frame thickness. I can see you have found out what a few like myself reported in the difference between the new auxetic prestige pro and the older 95 prestige mp frames. I know what you mean regards the sailing long and power generation. Whilst the new prestige pro is easier to use it lacks the same level of control you had over your power.
With regards to the radical line, the Radical Pro 360 is considered the lower power version similar to the prestige pro with the 98 head also. It does have the 16/19 string pattern and is stiffer so is a more powerful frame. It does lose on feel as has been the case with radical series in recent generations. The older IG Youtek had a great feel to it I thought but since then it's not been great though the last 360+ line was an improvement and tye Auxetic is about to be released. The Speed Pro is a 23mm beam but has a decent level of control also.
