Flatspin,
I really hate to think what the weight of the iPrestige really is if its lighter than the LM. After my Prestige Pro I find the LM to swing like a feather. No doubt the CAP guard makes a difference - looks far less solid than the one on my Prestige Pro so Im guessing also far lighter.
OldSchooLTennis,
dont know how the PC600 differs from the Prestige Pro but it is a newer version so would have thought it'd be a touch lighter. One of the reasons Im sticking with the Prestige is the lack of wrist trouble I have when using them. Also am experimenting with a two-handed backhand and I find the Prestige ideal (not loopy topspun backhands but hard, flat ones you hit as early as possible). Gives excellent stability but enough touch to move the return around.
Another good thing I found with the LM is that it responds very well to the cheaper synth gut like Head Synthetic Gut or Synth Gut PPS. Has more of a 'tinny' feel with thin gauge but great spin potential and, with thicker gauge, softens up and increases 'touch'. So, Ive got one strung with 18 gauge and one with 16 and the old Prestige Pro at 17 gauge.
