Head Prestige MP-L 2021 65RA or 58RA

[Maloya]

hello, on the description of head prestige MP-L we read specs about 65 RA, and on the TW site a buyer's comment says that he contacted HEAD about this and that he received a response from them that Head Prestige MP-L 2021 was indeed at 58RA and not 65RA.

Are there RDC measurements to confirm or not this data?

head customer service contacted, here is the response:

Carolin (HEAD Service team) commented:

Thank you for your message and your interest in our racquet.

The AR of the 2021 Prestige MP L is 58, The AR of the 2021 MP would be 64. This has not changed for the 2023 models.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely

Caroline

58 surprises me!

I can assure you that the '21 MP-L is nowhere near 58RA strung. It's definitely in the low-60's, at minimum.

Finally I gave my Prestige Tour 2021 to a friend who was able to measure them in a shop on a Babolat RDC this summer, it turned out strung the flex is precisely 59 on one of the two.
maybe many frame are under 60, many over?

Interesting fued here. I’ll contribute in a day or two. Will measure and report back.

Edit. I have a 2023. Which I heard is the same RA as the 2021. But who knows.

what was the RA value for the other one?

what was the RA value for the other one?

i don't know, because He had the measurement done out of curiosity when he went to get his racket restrung, but he didn't have the second one. I think it must have been the more flexible one; I got rid of it because I found them very different, one much more flexible than the other (in play, without measurement), and also more unbalanced (head-heavy), which is really unacceptable.

How is the RA measured on a racquet?

Measure force needed to bend racquet (kg/cm) then put it in whatever secret formula Babolat cooked up 50 years ago to make it seem special.
