Very nice. I didn't know the part about the metal rod though - I've never heard of someone doing that before besides me. Though I'd guess that his are larger and hollow. I have 4 or 4 1/2 inch nails running through the silicone in my YT Prestige MPs. I just put them in there to get some easy tail weight. No clue if they increase rigidity of the handle.
PT57As have been pretty hard to find the past couple of months - maybe due to the reduced number of tournaments due to the pandemic. What I'd love to get is a matched set of 27.75 inch PT57As, and then customize them.
Switched the L3 pallet to L1 and added Oehm leather
Which Oehms leather is it? Pro premium?

And grip size with Oehms is now L3 or L2?

Please forgive the intrusive question, but what does something like that cost? I was checking out their website and I'm thinking about doing it, (saw some amazing Wooden imitation paintjobs), but don't want to email them and find out it's way out of my budget range.
Disregard! I found their pricing information.

They do a very good custom PJ, but would not use them again for the "refresh" actual PJ...

Got the 98 as well for a little bit. It was the all white with no branding on it except on the grommet/head guard. It was missing the silver cap on the trap door. I heard that there is an option to have 2 different weights on it. Will try it tonight with shaped poly/synthetic hybrid. Specs are 302g 274 sw 311mm

Yeah the one early run without the branding had a lower SW. It was anemic stock but took weight well. The newer run with Solinco in the top of the hoop has an increased SW (still 320s strung I think). 2 different weights of trap door and there’s foam fill in the handle. Solinco generally leaves room in their specs for them to be good platform frames.

This one did not have foam in the handle. I wonder which version of the prototype it was. Might work well with silicone.

My weapon of choice is the Prince Phantom 100p (added Fairway leather).
The Prince Rebel 95 18x20 I`m trying to sell it. (So I can get another Phantom 100p lol). Though, I love this racquet aswell.
What are those purple strings??? They look great in the Phantom

I've posted some of my racquets before, usually in the classic racquet part of these boards. Now it's time for my post-pc600 Head Prestiges and my Yonex SRD Tours. There have been some ups and downs in the history of Prestiges, but a few gems in there. The Yonexes are so solid. Just a monolithic feeling to them.
