What kind of string tension are most of these players using?, is it generally the case that those who use larger head sizes use a higher string tension compared to those who use midsize heads?.
 
Now that PRINCE has discontinued the GRAPHITE 107", I wonder if Vince Spadea might switch to another Prince racquet, or if he'll keep using his old Graphite?
 
isnt one of the Rochus brothers using some sort of 100sqin + frame by prince?

plus Gasquet is using the Extreme PJ now
 
Not a male pro but notable that Shahar Peer recently switched to a 105 (Prince Exo Red) and just won two titles in two weeks, her first titles in several years.
 
Headsize is everything now. I can see size preferences for pros only getting bigger. In a couple of years 102 will be the old 100

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. Looking at some recently released frames, it seems that companies are starting to have more options in the mid 90's. And the extremely oversized frames seem to be fading away slightly as well. Like, there's not an overabundance of frames out now that are over 110".

I'm kinda thinking (and hoping) that the manufacturers will begin to push the average headsizes back down a bit.

I disagree. Your theory would suggest players will eventually be playing with big head sizes like the Prince Graphite original at 107" or the Head Radical oversize. While some people still like the feel of a larger head size, I don't see that happening. Racquet head size will be for the most part 95" to 100". I also think the 85", 88" and 90" head sizes are going to be a thing of the past eventually.
