Hey everyone - thought I'd drop my two cents in.
I'll preface my comments by saying I have something of a love affair with the Pro Tour 630/PT57A.
Spans back to my junior and comp days using them and iPrestiges, etc. I've been trying to upload a photo of my collection but doesn't seem to be working for. Maybe this will work -
PT57A Collection
Nonetheless, got a couple of Pro Tour 2.0 so I thought I'd share my first impressions after a couple of hits.
I echo the sentiments of some previous posters here in saying that it's definitely got PT630/PT57A DNA only in a more modern day interpretation. It's definitely stiffer (hitting side by side with one of my PT630) but NOWHERE near 65 RA that has been measured. It's crisp but not muted and you definitely get a smooth pocketing plow-through on ground strokes which is synonymous with the PT57A. Serves took a little while to dial in but that was more a function of user and not his equipment - isolation definitely hasn't helped here.
Another impression was it felt a little lighter when used side by side with the 630 but again the feeling for me was negligible and probably so much so I almost prefer at the moment hitting with the 2.0. I can't wait to see it perform with fresh strings (NG/Alu Power or RPM Blast setup) and maybe take one of my Head FC leather grips off which I more used to purely from a feel perspective.
Whoever from TW got those at Head to remake this should be given a great bonus as you've made a hell of a lot of us die hards real happy!
