all of those including the pt630/2.0 are fantasticnot even close even Ziggy Stardust looked less daggy and its 80s effort was just a smidgen better than todays PA98
1987 Head Prestige Pro in Black used by Leconte is one of the best of all time for Head period.
then followed by this one which I have yet to attain in my collection
then this one
Is it time for Djokovic to change to a more powerful racquet?

The Prestige Pro from 1986/87 isn’t black. It’s brown and when you hold it the right way it glows red. The Elite Pro is a more flexible playing and again the Prestige Pro 600 is red and brown and in the brown paint glows red in the right light and is the same as the 86/87 Prestige Pro in layup. Just a cosmetic change.not even close even Ziggy Stardust looked less daggy and its 80s effort was just a smidgen better than todays PA98

The green one is called the Elite Pro and was used by Conchita Martinez early in her career.
the pro tour lite is also is awesome! same cosmetics as the pr630 but green instead of blue. @vsbabolat have you ever played this one? worth picking up?

Again, exposing the lack of brain power and proud of that. I gave you an advise I gave to my oldest twelve years ago when she was 12.
The saying goes: "What a wise man is ashamed of, a fool is proud of." I am not sure if a similar saying exists in English/USA.
I brought the PT2.0 up on a completely different subject (within this thread), you brought it in to show a non-existent point.
Again, read the saying above.

Are you referring to the Lite Tour 630? That’s a nice stick.
yes i am. how does it differ from the regular pt630?

It’s lighter with 1mm wider beam and slightly stiffer but still plush as it has the graphite/Twaron matrix. I think it’s worth getting.
Edit: I think it’s 315g unstrung.
hmm, you may have piqued my interest. any idea on swing weight?

Sorry that I don’t have. I have a couple of Tour XtraLong but they are in storage right now. Won’t get to them until July.

LOl a frog in your own pond with dementia stricken neurons conveniently forgets then makes excuses.
Add your old Head as a completely different subject (within this thread) well done to you sir dr. bluff and illusions of grandeur.
Your poor 12 yo forced to deal with your biased ancient "Head" baggage when other kids her age a using racquets
more in tune with the modern game. It basically says it all, hopefully she get her Head neurons from other relos.
I came across a similar situation with one of the kids who I kept seen at junior tournaments dragging around a Nav spec R-22
that her Father got from the legend, so he thought she could inherit the pre-made greatness and learn an all round game.
The poor kid kept struggling and although you could see she would not give up, eventually her motivation was less than her abuser.
Fathers seem to think they know best when the game has changed 10 fold and not everyone specially an early teen built like a pretzel
to have much chance in competing versus what we have today.

I will be the first to say I misread his comment, Im in the full sun with a little screen, so yes I can admit I was wrong.
Im here to learn even from mistakes not troll, pretend and label others without the factual racquet model code.
Now i re-read it thank goodness he is not that cruel! As for the rest it still stands and in other threads he also could
not admit Babolat did release what many stated is the original Rafa stick as released in 2004 but...crickets...crickets
Pointing out what is wrong to a stubborn delusional liar with dementia is mission impossible.
back on subject .....
If anyone had the chance to win Slams with a 95 when balls and conditions have made the game even slower,
not even the most successful of the big 3 has a chance anymore.
He could not even reach Double Macs center serving or redirect the peppier flat shots from his opponent
who is no where near the pace shown by higher ranked players.
Even Fonseca dispatched HH in a way that Djoko will never be able to again.
The OP and many have seen the writing on the wall that Nole could still keep pace with another 2 or 3 inches
in the same mold with same stability or dynamics to suit him. BUT it seems Dog-Kennel@theBack are inept
or just as stubborn as their decaying fan base.
Older racquet users like Llajovic, Fran Cerundolo, Cilic, Hanfamann, Stan were destroyed in straights.
Almost all of the H22/Blade jockeys also are out except big bodied Mensik, Stef, Korda and Khachanov.
I like many would like to see Nole revisit the option for a little easier to swing and rewarding combo maybe
after Wimby or he will be just be adding easy losses till his done as he is not defending the ball speeds
of the past with such degraded mobility and reactions.
