Hello everyone. Say they finally launch it. What would be your ideal beam profile? Flex? Sw? And so on..
Hey there Chip. Modded Touch Speed Adaptive user here.I was in the same boat. Speed pro user that would have loved a 98, 18x19. I hate to break it to you but it’s not going to happen.
But you can find something on the market currently that gets close. Go demo the blade pro 18x20. The speed pro used to be 22mm and that’s what the blade pro has and with a constant beam. Go a grip down on the BP and do double overgrips and you have a banger of a racquet that approximates what a speed pro 98 would have been.
Cheap as F these days too...Feel like the Prince Synergy 98 was pretty much this, with the 18x18 pattern, not to mention the pj. Pretty underrated stick imo
What strings set up and tension played best for you in the frame ?Feel like the Prince Synergy 98 was pretty much this, with the 18x18 pattern, not to mention the pj. Pretty underrated stick imo
Seem like a very underrated stick just because it was Prince …Cheap as F these days too...
Indeed sounds like a nice frame. And that Prestige throat. Wish it was 98 and 21mm. Speed silo is still missing the 98. I think people would love itHead Prestige MP is a 99 18x19 21.5 box beam 62RA that is coming to the US next month. Probably the closest you’ll get.
Some green poly, but I don't recall which. Tension felt high-40s which I prefer. It was a demo through TW around 2022. It played really well, and made me wonder why 18x18 isn't done more often. Really spin friendly without compromising flat shots. Only deal breaker (similar to the 2024 pure strike 98) was the high swing weight just out of my range. Was hoping it would replace my Beast 98s, but still looking to this day!What strings set up and tension played best for you in the frame ?
