Microgel Prestige MP review

[Pro_Tour_630]

Actually the Radical Tour TwinTube has a 100% graphite inner shell with a Polyamide outer shell. I took this from the 1996 and 1998 Head Catalog.

So the overall percentage in the Radical Tour TwinTube is most likely 80% or 90% graphite and 20% or 10% Polyamide.

Good one VS, being proven wrong with factual data from HEAD rather than words written on a TW review is so............ inconvenient

just out of curiosity, what level player are you michael chaho?

I'm only like 3.5 or something...but i still highly scrutinize all my things/hobbies such as tennis, snowboards, paintball guns, etc etc etc...

And yet nowhere does it say polyamide is the same thing as twaron. At best they're in the same general family of materials - which somehow, in your tortured logic, the same thing.

Hey, kevlar's in the same family. Do Kevlar and Isospeed (polyamide) play similarly? No. Heck, Head Rip (also polyamide) and Isospeed? No. Do the classic prestiges, with twaron, feel similar to the classic pro staffs, with kevlar? No.

So, somehow, head's twin tube sticks (polyamide shell - not twaron) qualify as having aramid, specifically twaron, in the layup? No. Even if it were the same material, the difference in construction definitely matters - such that twin tube frames simply don't feel like dumpy, kevlar or twaron doped sticks.

In fact, let's put it even more starkly - flexpoint and liquidmetal prestiges still have that polyamide shell - so they play just like the classic twaron frames, right?

The manufacturer of many HEAD strings is Isospeed. The current HEAD strings made by Isospeed are Intellistring, Intellitour, RIP Perfect Power, RIP Perfect Control, RIP Control, Ultra Tour, Sonic Pro, and RIP Blend. The Polyamide used in the HEAD strings and the Isospeed strings are the same. Also Isospeed supplies polyamide for HEAD skis also.

*Edit: I forgot that Head C3 Rocket string is also made by Isospeed

What can I say........... OWNED, as usual you are spot on

Ohplease's post (poisoning the well) is so............irrelevant for even a reply, not sure whats his beef with TWARON? Could be he associates it with moi? I pointed to MW200G which does not even have "Twaron" YET it still has the dampened/muted feel many like similar to the PT630. All I was trying to say that older Twintube had some DAMPENING characteristics in the outer shell to reduce vibration.(tawron kevlar, polyamide etc... whatever) it is not %100 pure graphite like ohplease wants us to believe. Heck we even discussed it here
