I couldn’t believe my eyes when I found it. And it happened to be an extra 10% off on the day, very stoked with my find, even tho I’ll have to shave the grip down...

Never sell them, they have the best feel of any Babolat I’ve hit with. The extended thin beam is truely something else, there’s nothing on the market today that comes close to it.

Less than $200 shipped from Europe, without a blemish, the prostocks in my sig.

Before that $150 for some old Electric Firecrackers.

I smile upon this decision
I used to be the type of person that was always thinking about new racquets. once I got 2 months into swinging this, I haven’t looked back. I’ve had zero issues with it, too.

Surprisingly they are matched in spec
 
Frame: Pro Staff X v14
Condition: 10 (new)
Grip: 3

Bought 3x 2021 Head Prestige MP's last year. One was brand new for $150, the other two were used demos under $100 each. The demos had a couple scuffs and one badly needed a new grip but otherwise looked great. Small, local shops are great places for deals.

Paid about 210 for my Ezone 98 in 2023. But got my DR for free from a buddy and also got my 2022 Ezone 98 tour for free from a friend so the net of my last 3 frames is 73.34 so not bad

Will they still be in the bag come summer? Hope so.

Head Speed MP 2022 - 59 USD 10/10 condition.
I walked into play it again sports on a whim, saw it hanging on the racks. Immaculate condition. I asked the guy up front if he could come down from 80 USD as it was “steep” and he sold it for 59. Basically skipping as I left

115€ for Wilson Pro Staff 97 v13 (Pro Stock version from Wilson Pro Labs - all pure matte finish) in Mint condition
 
I just started and was told to practice on consistent gear. Also having the same mindset, I bought several used Prostaff 6.1 Stretch for average of 60$ each

What setup did you use it best with?
Leather grip (TW one) and hybrid Klip Legend Gut / PT Air 51/48 Lbs. I put also 3g of lead at 2 & 10 (1.5g each side). It plays well (not as much as the hybrid) but with a good increase in comfort with Multi gauge 17 at low tension (49 lbs)

Last one I bought was a Head IG Prestige Pro. New old stock found at a tennis shop in Melbourne. Think that was $180 or $200 AUD.

Before that 3x Wilson Blade 2015, $100-$120 AUD each. One of those was like new also, couldn’t believe it!
