WHICH OF THESE 3 HEAD RACQUETS HAS A 102"/660cm2(head) and 18x19(string) MODEL?

102" inch headsize (660cm2) and 18x19 string pattern

Head Prestige Classic?
Head Pro Tour?
Head Radical?

I know for certain that there is a Head Prestige Tour with those characteristics but I am curious if any of the above mentioned have a model with those same characteristics.

Thanks!

None of the ones you've listed have a 102" head with an 18/19 string pattern. The Prestige FXP Team, however, does have a 102" head and a 18/19 pattern and is a very nice racquet.

Prestige Classic comes in Mid and MP. The MP is 102" with 18x19 string pattern, TW had it on sale for $90 or less.
 
So, is the Head Classic Midplus also known as the Head Prestige Tour 660 the only one then?

No Radical, No Prestige Classic, and No Head Pro Tour has a 102" headsize and 18x19 string pattern?

Is this correct?

The Classic midplus and the Prestige Tour 660 are two different racquets. The Prestige Tour 660 has the Suspension Grip while the Classic Midplus DOES NOT have the Suspension Grip. The Classic midplus for all intended purposes is the Prestige Classic 660. When Head originally sold the Classic midplus in the U.S.A in 1999 they had lost the rights to the Prestige name to Wilson in the U.S. Market. So Head had to use the Classic mid and Classic midplus names in the U.S.A. for the Prestige Classic. However there was no Prestige Classic 660 in Europe. In 1999 Head had stopped bringing to the U.S. the Prestige Tour 600 (Mid) and Prestige Tour 660 (Midplus). In Europe Head only sold the Prestige Tour 660 with the suspension grip, Prestige Tour 600 with the suspension Grip, and the Prestige Classic 600 with traditional pallets.
I hope I have explained what racquets where sold when and where. If I have confused you please tell me where I have lost you.


Other racquets from Head that are 18x19 string pattern with a 660cm2/102sq.in. headsize that you might like if you can still find them are: The Prestige Master, Graphite Master, the Comp Master, the Graphite Tour 660 (Also Known as the Trisys 270 SAS 660 in the U.S.A), the Pure Competition, the Supreme Competition, and the Extreme Competition.
 
Okay, so from the information gathered so far looks like i will be in the market for a Head Prestige Tour 300 Midplus/Head Prestige Tour 660.

Still open for suggestions and any additional insight.

Unrelated Question Below

***Anyone know what String Pattern the Head Pro Tour 280 Oversize/Head Pro Tour 690 has and what is its Beam Width?***

You might also like the Classic midplus. TW had them but has since sold out. The Classic midplus can still be found on the web.

The Pro Tour 690/Pro Tour 280 Oversize has a head size of 690cm2 or 107sq.in. The string pattern is 18x19 and the beam width is 21mm. It is from the same mold as the Original Radical Trisys 260 Oversize/Original Radical Tour 690.[/

I was just remembering off the top of my head. We all can't be perfect I made a mistake and I am sure I missed more than one. Another one that I just remembered is the Ultimate Competition as well.
The Calibre 660 has a 16x19 string pattern. So that one does not fit World Class Forehand's request 660cm2 head size with a 18x19string pattern.
