Similar racquets as Prestige Classic with lower swingweight?

[djones]

Are there any racquets around, with the same specs as the Head Prestige Classic but with a lower swingweight?
I don't know they exact swingweight of the Prestige Classic, but my shoulder was really getting tired after 15 minutes of play.
So what I am looking for is a very similar racquet but which feels lighter.
(I do not like racquets with a thicker beamwidt, since I play with the Prestige Classic).
Thanks in advance.

You may want to try the Volkl V-engine 10 mid (93 sq in): weighs around 12.2 oz and balanced very head lite (don't remember how many points, but swings lighter than the Prestige).....also is fairly "flexy" and has a dense string pattern (but is capable of really "turning" the ball)........

yonex rdx 500 18x20 looks like a good racket to try in your case. good luck !

I heard the Wilson ROK is a prestige look-alike but lighter. It looks to be very slightly larger. I actually have one but have never hit with it (got it in a 3-for-1 trade)

The ROK plays absolutely nothing like any Prestige.

Hope we can soon stop correcting the claim that they are similar.

the other clone is the pk laver type c mid, which some say is kinda similar to the prestige. maybe try trimming the CAPS on the prestige to lower swingweight?

Good point. The ROK is stiff as a board, and the Prestige has a nice flexy feel. While the specs may be similar, they are two completely different sticks.

wha? the Rok is really flexy..prob 58-60....and i wouldnt say the Prestige feels soft as i recall w. the Twaron and all..anyone know what the Prestige Classic flexes at?

I'm not going by what the specs say, but how it actually plays.

It's flex is like 60 anyways.

Players tend to divide sharply on the Prestige/ROK thing, with most favoring the Prestige series. I like them both, but I would add that the Prestige Classic 600 has more flex in the upper hoop, is significantly heavier, and produces more power than the original ROK 93.
