Head's retail best racquets

[Tennisdude561]

So the club I work at is sponsored by head, and they're trying to get me to switch from the blade to a head frame for promotion, which makes sense, any recommendations to demo head sticks?

 

[tribesmen]

There is no head to replace blade. The best solution would be repaint the blades to head colors You would be like a pro!

PS: maybe is worth to wait for Gravity line ?

Probably the Radical MP

 

[Lex]

I'd suggest the Radical as well. Try both the MP and the Pro.

Which Blade do you play with - 16x19 or 18x20?

The following are worth a demo, IMHO:

Radical mp - 16x19
Speed pro - 18x20

I just hit with the new Gravity mp the other day. While I didn’t dislike it, coming from a Blade, I’d be surprised if it’d be your cup of tea.

 

[tennisBIEST]

Yeah I was going to say Radical or Speed as a potential replacement for the Blade. Blade is solid racquet but I can’t shake my Head Graphene Touch Speed MP with TK82 pallet modded to 334SW.

Can I ask you how you customazied your Head Graphene touch speed MP to reach that swing weight? After I tried the xt speed mp and the grapheme radical mp I decided to go with the touch mp. Thanks!

360 Speed Pro is a must demo.

 

[A_Instead]

I thought this was the "pro's racquet and gear" section..

i.Prestige Mid is the best HEAD retail racket of all time, if you ask this.

 

[NickJ]

MXG . . . . .

 

[Prince Vegeta]

Don’t switch just for promotion unless they’re paying you to switch!

I'm more of an i.prestige MP XL person myself. Would've never guessed at the time that was going to be the tail end of Head's golden age.

I think that Head's answer to the Blade, the Pure strike and the Yonex vcore pro is their new gravity line. The pro model is 18x20 and the MP is 16x20. I'd ask to demo those.

 

[FearlessAnimal]

Ask for PT57a

 

[Crocodile]

I would wait for the Gravity as well for sure, it should suit you well coming from the blade.

That’s what I had to do literally

This is actually a old head racket under the paint

 

[Bobble]

Speed Pro 360, touch prestige mid (if you can handle the weight and get used to the smaller sweet spot). Would suggest the touch prestige pro, but it feels cheap/hollow compare to most blades imho.

 

[JOSHL]

It’s funny that Wilson’s answer to the Radical was the Blade but now the Radical is so far removed from its original state that it can’t be a solid replacement.

 

[beltsman]

EXTREME

 

[Lavs]

LM Radical MP / OS

 

[SCSI]

Head just needs to bring back i.Prestige rackets including MP Xtralong with an updated paint job. I would make it all black and name them x.Prestige.

 

[musicsoul]

Current Prestige mid is very good. The only people who hate it are the ones that keep comparing it to the old Prestiges.

any reason tw doesnt sell this racket

I understand this is an old post but are you crazy? Why?! The stringbed looks off I don’t know how to describe.

 

[jmacdaununder2]

14/20 instead of 16/20 pattern installed and I'm guessing strung loosely?

It’s should be 18x20

 

[teachingprotx]

Yep it was a head club pro
18x20 is the pattern normally
But I messed around with tons of different patterns back then . All seemed to work just fine my fave was 16x 20 ...
