Liquid Metal Prestige MP best compromis between Prestige Classic mid and I Radical MP

[djones]

I love the feeling of my Head Classic Mid, but I miss the massive topspin I'm getting from my Head I Radical.
So would the Head Prestige MP be the best for me?
Will this racquet give me as much spin as my Radical?
And will it feel as solid and stable as my Prestige mid?
(I have tried the I Prestige MP, but didn't like it at all)
Or Should I go for the Technifibre TFight 325?

I haven't played with the LMpres. but I can answer your question on the TF325, with which I have been playing for now 2 months changing from an I prestige.

Note: I do not work for TF

The TF325 did take some getting used to in terms of power and flexibility (considerably more than the I prestige) but with experimenting on strings from NRG2 1.28mm to TRC and adding spin to the lot I found that I haven't lost on control but added on power and (of interest to you from the Radical) tons more spin. The bat is also very stable at the net. If you like kick serving you won't be disappointed either. Try it if you can...I'd like to hear your comments.

Thanks!

But have you also tried the Prestige Classic mid?
If so, how would you compare those two?

 

[Fantoro]

Yes I have tried the PC600 briefly just recently from a friend but with a poor stringing job...

I would say that the TF feels more flexible and definitely can generate more spin and power...but might not be as manoeuvrable as the PC. As far as touch the PC wins on groundies. Can't comment on volleys or serves for the PC.

Best to demo them (The TF plays best for me at 58pounds)

How about the Pro Tour 630, would that be a good racquet with the same spin potential as my I Radical?

 

[OnyxZ28]

djones, let me ask you a question: why don't you just ditch the PC and go back to your i.Rad? It seems you aren't comfortable with the PC at all, and are constantly looking back at the i.Rad. Just my .02.

Hi, my choise is Head. I think it is an optimal choice for all court players ...

Head Size:
TF325: 98 sq. in. / 632 sq. cm.
Prestige: 97

Length:
TF325: 27.4 inches / 70 cm
Prestige: 27 inches / 69 cm - better

Strung Weight:
TF325: 12.2oz / 346g
Prestige: 11.9oz / 337g - better
for manueverability and ewent. lead mod.

Balance:
TF325: 11.6pts Head Light
Prestige: 8pts Head Light -worse for less kick.serw. but better for. manuev.

Swingweight:
TF325: 335
Prestige: 325 -better

Stiffness:
TF325: 59 - less power and stabil., big probl. with stringing
Prestige: 63 - optim. - more power with great control

If you looking for 59 stiff. long racq. the Yonex MP Tour-5 will be an ideal choice : all technical specifications are neer to TF325! Strung weight is 318g and you can make all lead modif.
