I've been a long time POG 90 user. I'm talking 25 years. I've tried to hit other racquets but couldn't switch because the others were either too weak or too powerful in some place of the game whether it was groundstrokes, volleys, serves, etc. I never switched because something just wasn't right.
Today, that all changed when I walked into a used sporting goods store and saw a Head Flexpoint Prestige Midplus for $35. I'd been wanting to try the Prestige for a year or so after reading about their following on this board and now I know why. It is an awesome racquet. I know nothing about its strings and it played great. I usually play my strings very tight (69#s tight!) and this thing was great. It was effortless in changing the direction of the ball from the baseline. It served good. It volleyed good. It clearly had a larger sweet spot and I was able to swing away like I do w/ my POG and was worry free. That's saying alot coming from me.
My questions.....
1) Would I like the mid better?
2) Is there a big difference between the mid and midplus?
3) Has anyone heard of the Head Premier Tour? Would I like that racquet too? I heard it was played by a pro or two years back. I can pick up a pair for $50.
4) What more should I know about the Prestige line? That is, are the newer ones better? Remember, it took me 25+ years to find a racquet I trusted as much as the POG.
