Pro Stock Racquets 101 (Head)

[Fuji]

A question about pro stock sticks.
Generally, I believe, the pro stocks don't have all the add-on technologies like Microgel, Innegra, etc.
However, if a player wanted it (perhaps a pro who grew up playing with a Microgel as a junior) could/would they put the old add-on technology in?

Actually as far as I know the sticks do have the same technologies. The TGK237.1's that I have for example are the same mould and layup as the stock Microgel Prestige mid. I could be mistaken, but I remember reading somewhere that the technologies do transfer over and some of the new Youtek/IG prostocks actually have Youtek in them.

Again, I could be wrong since I'm just reiterating fuzzy knowledge, but it's something to consider.

Again...it depends.
Examples: The TGK/TGT series do have the same "technologies"
The PT57A for example has nothing to do with the PJs it wears...

for example a 231.3(MG mold) with YT paintjob would have MG or YT technology?

Good example...
231 = Microgel mold with the MG stuff
260.2 with the IG Instict PJ with the YT stuff

Thanks, it seems(or at least i have read:-?), that some codes have their own layup(different than retail MG YT ect...).
Obviously the older technologies PT57 A and E(not talking about those)
It might be wrong of course, but i may be just effecting the flexibility.
