Head Pro Tour 2.0 - Ask Us All Your Questions! (podcast now here!)

[Shangri La]

I wonder how much these are in the US.

!!1!

Nice to see TW now including unstrung weight and balance as well in their review. TWE did that in the past but I don't think TW did.

 

[joah310]

is it the original 95in head? cuz the video states it at 98 and the new model is stiffer so will it not have the same flexy feel as the OG?

 

[dr325i]

Totally agree with Chris and Boone!
Excellent and fair review

TK238 CAPs, exactly same mold as original (95)

If you’re getting more than one it’s cheaper to buy from tennis warehouse Europe. Yes you have to pay shipping buts it still a good amount cheaper. And I only bought 2 so others can have a chance to get one.

Really cool they went with TK238 instead of TK293. @TW Staff Any chance you’ll be selling the TK238 grommets that come on the Pro Tour 2.0?

Just ordered 2 for now!
Thanks TW for the early review and podcast!

 

[MasterZeb]

65 RA. Yeah there’s no way my arm is handling that

 

[Adam Dixon]

TT forum: I don’t see why head doesn’t just release the pt630 to the public. It may not appeal to the vast majority of players but us loyal TTers would happily pay a little more for it.

Head: releases PT630 to public

TT forum:


Keep setting them up...

Well I dont speak for anyone else on this chat. My point was not to b3 charged an unfair price. Price is 160 bucks. I've bought 2. No problems.

How heavy is this Lynx 17g Anthracite, average for a poly string? If so, I can play with the string and custom order from TW to get the SW under 330 or even close to 325.

Did you watch the TW video?

 

[BlaackSheeep]

I like a 4 5/8 grip so this lets me out.

Looks like it DOES come in a 4 5/8

Just saw the video and I noticed it as well.

Ordered one. Will see if it is worthy. If not, still a hat tip to Head for the price and atleast listening to us whine and trying to get us something in the ball park.

I don’t see it saying limited anywhere... @TW Staff can you confirm or deny limited quantity?

You don’t see it saying Limited in your link???

Pretty avg. I have played with the green one. Adds about 16g to static weight in my 18x20 Angells. Racquet is about 335 swing weight range when strung. Same as RS Lyon 17.

*Facepalm* I CTRL+F and did not realize it was in the picture...

In the podcast they mention Head closer to a 95

 

[topspn]

Ugh, this shelter at home is getting expensive

 

[MRfStop]

Bought mine

 

[Kal-El 34]

How limited is this release?

 

[McGradey]

Bought one

 

[Kal-El 34]

It’s disappointing there is no twaron but if they play nice who cares

Also the 65 RA makes it tough to call it a pro tour

 

[Slick Tennis]

Just got two. I remember the first time hitting the 280 in the nineties. I was mind blown. Best racquet! So pumped!!

 

[HolyMountain]

My 280 is also RA 55, perhaps the 630 is higher as the PT57A is to the PT57E?

I am assuming these grommets fit the PT57A? Tired of seeing Microgel Prestige MP grommets going for $40 a pop on fleabay @vsbabolat @dr325i

 

[legrandLeconte]

Very disappointed: it may be a good racket, but it doesn't even come close to pt630 .
Neither twaron, nor weight, nor flex. My shadow weighs 340g unstrung.
Very good price, but for what?
Increasingly happy with my 5 pt630 MIA (and it only cost me 200€) .

Yes, they fit PT57A

 

[Deleted member 766578]

Just received mine physically, but i won't get to play with it for possible 2 weeks or more lool

 

[TennisHound]

There’s some differences to the original, but it’s still a cool thing. Review and price are up on TW. @TW Staff thanks for the in depth test and podcast.

 

[Addxyz]

How is Head QC? Would love to have closer to 330 strung SW.

 

[AceyMan]

65 RA. Yeah there’s no way my arm is handling that

Let's see how it plays. The iPrestige plays quite firm and the real-world RA is higher than whatever the official value deemed to be.

Any Ultra Tour owners also have the iPrestige want to weigh in?

[spoiler: I am one and if you told me the HEAD was 2 points stiffer, I would not say your wrong. I haven't had them strung the same but the Ultra felt softer with the first job (Tour Bite/Vanquish). Now with a full bed of PSGD 16G and its much closer to the iPrestige, but stiffer? — I can't tell by feel so far.]

It does not feel 65, definitely comfortable and not harsh. And the layup is beautiful. The weight distribution is one of the best I have used in a while

 

[itsstephenyo]

Can you tell us if it has the newer grip shape or the old head grip shape?

 

[SOY78]

Time to buy some grommets

 

[MRfStop]

"Pros have been playing with this same mold for years"

Michelle’s only contribution to the podcast is that if you can swing it you’re hot

 

[Deleted member 766578]

Can you tell us if it has the newer grip shape or the old head grip shape?

Edit: has the TK82 pallet traditional one, small grip size feels quite round though

Paint quality is really quite nice

Related Help / Input

If you are like me (and Nadal) and are between sizes, would you size down or size up ?

Hmm.

/Acey

I buy new sticks in both size 2 and 3, depending on the exact diameters and shapes. I like to feel the bevels so I've been leaning towards 3 but I like fine tuning the diameter if it's a 2.

Maybe I'll get both and cover my bases <evil_grin>.

 

[Gooner]

In the podcast at around 7:40, they talk about it having the more traditional Head pallet. Also in the review, Mark mentions the "broader Head pallet". Finally from the product pictures, it does look like the more rectangular pallet, at least to me.

 

[danbrenner]

Looks beautiful. What a paint job. Perfect weight too.

 

[Slick Tennis]

It has the newer grip, TK82S , like the Speed, Prestige and Gravity

Paint quality is really quite nice

https://imgur.com/aKDOgFY

Unless I heard wrong on the podcast, it has the traditional head shape pallets, not the new ones.

Oh cool podcast is out already - well i don't know about what they received, but i legitimately have the racquet already, and seems to feel like a TK82S

Well i'm pretty sure it is, it feels similar to my Speed, Gravity and Prestige

Edit: nope so sorry haha i am wrong, i just pulled it apart, and it's a TK82 - i think i got confused because i got grip 2, and the last one i used as a grip 4 which was may more prominent in shape
