Which Pro(s) currently use the Head Graphene Prestige Rev Pro Racquet?

... or XT version...

Not aware of any pros that actually use the Prestige Rev Pro. There are / have been a handful of pros who have endorsed the frame in question - Cilic, Verdasco, Stepanek (I think)...

Yeah, it gets deceptive when pro's use older molds with newer paint jobs, you don't know who's playing with what.

I'm pretty sure both Verdasco and Stepanek did use it for a while. Haase did aswell, with tonnes of lead in the throat (well maybe not tonnes but still quite a bit...)

I thought Haase had always kept using the Prestige Mid or whatever his specific model is called. They even write "Mid" instead of "Rev Pro" in his paintjobs.

He used it in 2014 and then went right back to the best racquet ever made the PT10 AKA Prestige Classic

Ok, thank you.

Sorry for the Off-Topic, but since we're here, what are the differences between PT10, TGT292.1 and TGT312.1 exactly?

PT10 and TGT292.1 has the same flex and very similar molds. However the PT10 is more plush while the 292.1 feels crisper. I have broken string in the 292.1 and pick up the PT10 and not skipped a beat. There's no adjustment for me. The 312.1 is different animal. Its head size is bigger and its beam width is slightly wider with a 16x19 string pattern. To me felt stiffer and not all that great.

Doesn't Cilic actually use it now? I know that he had been using a 16x19 Radical MP, but I thought he and Verdasco were actually using the real thing at one point. Verdasco switches racquets every season though, it seems like.

Ok, so TGT312.1 is basically (approximately) the new Rev Pro with 93sq.in. Headsize as opposed to ~89.5?

By the way it still strikes me that we speak about Stiffness and String Pattern with Pro Stock as I thought the names only referred to the mould and the rest was at discretion of the Pro(s) who use them, especially since I knew Wilson H22 comes in both 16x19 and 18x20.

From my understanding there's still some controversy about it, some people stating he switched and some others stating he's still with I don't know which MidPlus mould. Really curious about the truth, to be honest.

Verdasco's Racquet shape last year looked much thinner than his actual one to me, so I came to believe he was really playing with one of those MidSize Pro Stocks. But I'm not a HEAD guy and I never looked much into it (plus, never watched him live). As you said, though, he seems to switch yearly.

Anyway I think Dodig also started endorsing the Rev Pro and if I recall correctly he's using a TGT292.1 or TGT312.1

Cilic is still using the same racquet as he always did. I've had it in my arms a few weeks ago.When you look at his racquet on TV,it really does look smaller in head than in reality.

I was referring to 2016 Verdasco vs 2017 Verdasco there. Thanks for the answer anyway, I guess this closes the case.

Sorry,I must learn to read again! Don’t know about Verdasco.

No problem. My message was pretty confusing too.
