Head Prestige Pro 16x19

Hello Head experts! I found a claim on a racquet technician's site that he has versions of the Prestige Pro (Pro Stock supposedly) that are 296.2 g strung, 99.2 sq in, with a stiffness of 57, in 16x19 pattern. What would be the codes for such a racquet (layup and mold)? The numbers seem legit for pro stock, non custmized sticks.

I find it strange that Head would make a pro stock racket so light - 296.2g.

Thanks for the link. Weird that they would not commercialize the 16x19 in the US.
Wonder where they hid the 40 extra grams.

Pro stocks are typically light to allow for customization. I have a Wilson Blade pro stock with almost exactly same parameters except it's 18x20. Same low stiffness, same low weight. You never find those in retail
 
The stiffness on the tgt 334.1 is 64 unstrumg. It's a different layup. The guy was listing strung RDC.57.

I think it's this one:

Interesting, the guy was listing both the retail and pro stock as 99.2. How did you measure it?

I was referring specifically to the TGT345.1/.2 frame which is a 98. If you're talking pro stocks, different molds may all be painted in the Prestige Pro cosmetic like the TGT334.1 for example which is supposed to be a 99. But I measured my 345.2 by inserting a stock front view image of the racquet into CAD, traced the outline with a smooth curve and then scaled it to the hoop length and width measurements I physically pulled off the frame I have on hand. CAD will then list the exact area. Very accurate.
 
@eric42 That's valid. The way I do it is to trace the hoop shape on a rectangular piece of paper or cardboard. Weigh and measure the cardboard. Cut out the hoop shape. Weigh it and derive the area.

For all I know, the guy may have a variation of the the tgt334 with a softer layup.

Does it have same string spacing as Murray’s frame?

Mains yes, crosses non. Top cross is very high up on the prestige and second cross is around the height of the first cross of Murray's. Bottom cross around the same.
Don't own Murray's frame but going by picture.
 
The 20mm Prestige Pro 98 frame in 16x19 plays and feels amazing. Not that Head is foolish, but I can't believe it's not being distributed in the USA. Too many Prestige variants I guess.
 
Is there a way to get the PP 2.0 16X19 in the US? I know its only for sale in Europe, and I tried to order from TW Europe but it blocks the sale. Any suggestions are really appreciated!
