NEW Prestige MP 360

[1990's Graphite]

Seems one of the best PJ since a long time

That paint looks great !!! May be one of the best pj's

That’s a major improvement looks wise. The current prestige is one of the ugliest rackets ever. Sad because the PC600 is one of the nicest ever made.

 

[BoxbeamsFTW]

I didn't like it either, but I didn't think it was that bad. Looks a little better in person. But I'm surprised as many people hate it.

I recall plenty of people liking the all red RF97 Laver Cup sticks. Even though I still didn't. The red was practically the same shade. Almost. People are strange.

They switch back to a good paintjob as soon as I buy two bright red sticks...

I was almost you too , except I would have bought one to go with the one I already have.

So as I was pondering on getting the current Pro, there's no reason not to buy on sale later this year than waiting for the new one with a new name and paint job?

It's already down $40. I guess it can go down more later.

You would think so, once the new line is officially revealed/released to the broad public.

I kind of like the look of the current red Prestige. If I were to change anything, I'd make the whole thing gloss. If I were to change two things, I'd probably pick a different colour for the text than the neon. If I were to completely overhaul the cosmetic, I would just completely rip off the Prestige 600 in silver/neon green, because that thing looks dope.

Regardless, looking forward to the new ones (especially if it helps me snag one of the red ones on discount).

Man, people keep talking about the new paintjob, it got deleted…

 

[SinneGOAT]

Curious as to what that A looking symbol is, but I’m assuming this will be the mp renamed to the pro?

It's a P for Prestige.

 

[Francoss]

Hi Folks, got a little sneak peek at this....complete red again with red CAP and now get silent: unchanged Specs despite of real 98 si Headsize & 20mm beam!!! I am thrilled until mid end of January.....

So what would be a reason to upgrade?

 

[loganme]

Some new tech and the paint job, I imagine.

It’s the new construction.

CAP grommets are legendary. One does question them so casually.

Do CAP grommets contribute to the dampened feel of the Prestige MP?

No.

Nope

Please do not post pictures of unreleased products as they will be deleted. Thanks everyone.

Man they really need someone new to endorse this besides Cilic

They've got Popyrin and I feel like someone else who's name eludes me at the moment.

But yeah, they do need more, but I don't see it as being particularly marketable compared to their other ranges.

Rublev is the perfect name, unfortunately he's a Gravity user...

 

[CosmosMpower]

New paintjob is meh, burgundy red and grey?

 

[smalahove]

Rublev is the perfect name, unfortunately he's a Gravity user...

If Karatsev gets a big win, he is the poster child for the Prestige player imo. Flat, hard and relentless.

 

[mpournaras]

They could have VERY easily put him in the Prestige Tour PJ. Plus it would remind people that you can still wallop with a control frame.

They also have Karatsev... if he continues to play well.

I hear a "ping" when i hit with my 360 Prestige mp. Anyone else?

never-just that sweet thud that only cap grommets can give ya!!

 

[taylor15]

Prestige Tour - formerly the Pro - feels great all around. This frame was not a box beam with the Graphene 360+ and is now back with the box beam. Crisp all around feel. No complaints here. For a 16x19 I think it feels as good as an RF97 (which I competed with for 3 years)

If I’m reading this correctly, the Tour is 95 but a new mold from previous Pro? Back to box beam sounds nice

That would be interesting, personally I don't really like the look of the current beam. It looks very different to the other racquets in the line.

No Prestiges available on TennisWarehouseEurope?

Personally I was hoping for the MP 98 mold in a 16x19 option

It was here but taken down. You can probably find it with a bit of searching, instagram maybe.

Me too. But 95 is Ok too...if the beam is thinner than it is now.

I played with the New Prestige Pro today in a match. Formerly known as the MP. More of the same. Rock solid. I noticed much easier depth with this new one. Good pocketing sensation. Maybe not quite the "sweet" feel of the red 360+ but definitely more accessible. bigger sweetspot for sure. Plus it looks great!

 

[n80aoag]

The new Prestige looks very similar to the Graphene Touch generation prior to the 360+ red paintjob. More gloss dark red in the hoop (from 7 'oclock to 4 o'clock, in a clockwise direction) and a matte, dark grey/black throat. Wish it was more distinguishable from the Graphene Touch version. I happen to be a fan of the all red 360+ BTW

 

[Ryanblessed]

I heard the name got changed/swapped among each other. No mid in USA. Any specific release date?

How is the stiffness? If you had to guess what is the RA?

Hoping they are under 63 or so flex.

Specs for the entire line were posted above by Raizu. 60 RA strung for the Pro.

Excellent. Thanks I hadn't seen that.

@Raizu thanks also.

How is the new upcoming Tour compared to the current Pro?

Head Prestige 2022 Racket Release

That looks eerily like the Graphene Touch Prestige. And that racquet was garbage.

Head Prestige 2022 Racket Release

Colour looks good but what on earth do they mean 'finally' getting an update? It only got updated to the red paint job 2 minutes ago.

Head Prestige 2022 Racket Release

The names are listed incorrectly in the posted link. This was the same website that said the new blades had a 69 RA. I don’t think that website has any insider information.

Yes I have that Graphene "Ping" on my 360+ MP that was present on my Graphene Touch MP. 360+ is less pronounced and more buttery with a dampener. Mine is strung with Lynx Tour at 50 lbs

 

[StefanosWillSaveTheWorld]

I love the new pro. I'm playing so good with it. Stiffness definitely feels a bit firmer than 60 RA which i think is a good thing. A magnificent blend of power, depth, and control. Mine is about 330 SW with Hawk 17. 47lbs.

Thanks for this its great feedback. Are you playing it stock - if so what is the strung weight please? Have you played with the 360+Prestige MP (which I think is a fantastic frame), if so, can you comapare it with the new one please?

 

[hadertjou]

how do you all string up your mps with full poly? same tension in both crosses and mains or a bit lower on the crosses?

 

[Classic-TXP-IG MID]

I do a 3 lbs differential between the Mains and Crosses. In my case, 46M/43C for the G360+ PMP.

Strung weight is probably around 335g after overgrip. i will weight it today. The 360+ is a great frame but i struggled with it a little bit on easy depth, rallying. The new one has a little bit more oomph from the baseline. The sweetspot is bigger and i get more spin. The ball jumps off a little more. The sweet feel you got when hitting the sweetspot is still there but maybe not quite as noticeable as the 360+

Yep. All Graphenes have a slight ping.
