Will this racquet make me better than Thomas Muster?

 

[dr. godmode]

What makes this the 2.0 other than the chronology of the release? What are some ways the layup/mold may be different than the original? Is 16x19 possible in the future?

 

[Say Chi Sin Lo]

@TW Staff

Will the racquet ship with the rounder pallet, or the traditional "rectangular" pallet found in much of the Head racquets pre-2000?

Thanks!

 

[Tennisrally]

What does the 2.0 mean? Is it a Head Pro tour 630 update?

[RoarTT]

Will it be available on both TW and TWE?

 

[bigdaddy]

What are the specs

 

[magnut]

where are they made?

 

[Christoforos Giatzakis]

The complete specs please.

 

[rafa_prestige89]

Frame stiffness?

 

[zipplock]

Is the racquet supposed to be a "collectible" or a legit racquet to switch to, meaning will there be more to this racquet than nostalgia?

You guys have questions about the Head Pro Tour 2.0, leave them here and we will do our best to answer them in an upcoming podcast!

Thanks,
Michelle, TW

Thanks for doing this btw
When do you plan to release it? Will it be delayed due to current situation?

 

[sargeinaz]

Updated layup means people will complain that it doesn’t feel the same no?

 

[mjwtpro1]

How much?

 

[KineticChain]

fedder

 

[emhtennis]

Updated layup? [emoji853]. That's the whole point. Nobody wants a graphene spiral fiber tour 630.

If it doesn't have a graphite/twaron mix you might as well not make it...

It is not the Graphene thing.
Also, 360+ prestige layup is very close feel to the original...
It was already discussed what the challenges are with the original PT57A layup...

 

[dr325i]

Yes and yes

 

[PT630Wannabe]

I asked in the other thread, but is this a TW exclusive? Or will Canadians have access to it?

 

[Strange hit]

When?
Twaron inside?
Full CAP?

 

[swfh]

$100 price??

 

[Adam Dixon]

When is the scheduled release date?
What is the price point?
I am in the UK will your european affilaite also stock the racket?
Is the racket composed of the same materials as it was on initial release back in 1994? If it isn't... Why isnt it?
How limited will the racket be?

 

[Adam Dixon]

Why in your opinion do you feel like HEAD have decided now is the best time to re-release this frame?

 

[Adam Dixon]

Can Anyone answer...

When is this podcast going to be released? Tuesday 21st April?

 

[BDAZ]

Asked this in another thread...
Couldn’t tell from the pic we saw... but do we suppose the CAPs will have the rounded off ends of the recent past or will they be squared off at the ends like CAPs of yore?

 

[Adam Dixon]

Is the base grip it comes with Leather?
If not and the unstrung weight is 325, then were looking at a too heavy stick with leather.

 

[topspn]

A 16x19 please with 8 mains in the throat

 

[Shangri La]

When is the Podcast coming?

 

[ragingbull1980]

A 16x19 please with 8 mains in the throat

No no no. 18 x 20 all the way!

 

[Dansan]

Thank you guys for doing this by the way. Keep it civil and focused everyone, I'll absolutely be ordering one !!

 

[Alexh22]

When will Andy Murray PT57A 16x19 pattern be released ? Any plan on a true Djokovic PT346 Radical MP ? we all know he doesn't use a speed pro and we shy away from the $5000 price tag on his PT346 Radical.

Are you a Head employee?

 

[esm]

So reading the above posts... this will be something along the lines of the reissued AA Radical OS - with different layup and not the same as the original. Hence the “2.0”........

 

[TW Staff]

Great questions! Keep them coming!

We will record next week and get it turned around for you guys as soon as possible! Hoping to have it ready to go early May!

Michelle, TW

Thé podcast or the racquets for early may? Or both?

 

[Titochop77]

Can you pre order ?

 

[Grieeegoorr]

Shadow font or Trek font?

 

[sargeinaz]

I’d assume shadow. It’s way nicer than Trek

 

[Strange hit]

I hope T.W Europe will sell it, or T.W U.S.A will allow orders from europe.

This is my fear as well. In the AA s case they actually used a different mold and layup expecting us to believe it is a true AA frame. They did it before may do it again.

 

[MRfStop]

@TW Staff why did you delete the original post that had pages of posts that already went over the same questions?

 

[Lavs]

A 16x19 please with 8 mains in the throat

Ask Murray if he can help you with that one

 

[BlaackSheeep]

Will it come in a 4 5/8 grip?

 

[stephenclown]

If you've had the chance to hit with it, how does it compare to the HEAD frames of old?

Does this version contain Twaron? And use High Modulus Carbon?

This is my fear as well. They did it before may do it again.

I think the biggest issue with the Radical OS Agassi re-release was that they used the incorrect mould for it as well which isn't the case here. This is the original PT57A mould, it is just a new layup to try and replicate the original PT57A which are still made in Austria. It was discussed heavily in the other thread with more knowledgeable people than I who all agreed that due to issues they cannot completely replicate the PT (Djokovic, Murray etc) frames in China.

 

[galain]

Will it be available from TWE?
Expected RA?

 

[Thiem's 1HB]

Also, 360+ prestige layup is very close feel to the original...

If the Graphene 360+ feels close to the original, the original must have felt pretty artificial, hollow etc. Not promising.

 

[Zoolander]

I would literally wet my pants if it got released and Head had skimped by using the Speed mold and put imaginary graphene in it instead of the original layup, sought of like they did with the AA radical tour rerelease.......there would be so many poor Head fanatics on here jumping off cliffs after getting their hopes up so badly. I would feel bad for them, but wow it would be so funny.....

 

[Guru Apu]

Will pretty blue Pro tour 2.0 make women notice me on court? I am already very attractive alpha man but maybe i need something more to catch hot girls eyes?
