Currently play with the 21 tour version. New model over 400 aud. Crazy prices for very little changes.

@experientialtennis 10 месяцев назад

I'm currently playing the 2021 18*19 and it's the best thing I've tried! New look great and so does the new and previous/used 600.

Its cool that they released this with a release of the old prestige classic. Could be a cool thing to release some classic frames with the newer updates, thinking about the older radicals etc. Thanks as always!

@biblemain8192 9 месяцев назад

I bought the prestige pro 2019 version based purely on looks. Not by the paint job, but by the shape of the racquet. The head to throat to grip ratio looked perfect to me. I've been using it ever since and absolutely love it.

Hello, what specific string and tension would you recommend for the Head Prestige Pro? Thank you for your videos!

@tom-gnade 9 месяцев назад

I used to play with a Liquidmetal Prestige MP, and I was really close to pulling the trigger on the 21 Prestige MP L. I ended up with a Speed Pro, and I've added some anti-vibration strips and weight at 3/9, 12 and in the butt cap. It's fantastic, but maybe just a touch on the heavy side. I'm tempted to try the MP L and add weight, just to see how it plays by comparison...

@betraya 10 месяцев назад

Hey Jonas, how do you compare the new prestige pro to the prestige mp 2019 and prestige pro 2021?

@trenerpotennisu 8 месяцев назад

I play with classic 600 on hard courts, for clay I use Volkl tour 10 mid. Both have stiffness 58, amazing control and touch 😊

@Trancescient 9 месяцев назад

2:28 "If you want a Prestige that's easier, don't play a Prestige." You spoke the truth! I currently use the 2021 Prestige Tour and simply love it, although it wasn't so the first few times I used it.

@rtpwyk 9 месяцев назад

The MP-L is an excellent racquet. Sinead, who appears in this video at 7:39 as she was practicing in Marbella at the time Jonas as filming, just won the club tournament with her MP-L. I am a former college player myself and I absolutely love the MP-L, and play with the previous Prestige S myself.

@stringerbell5171 9 месяцев назад

How much weight did you add to the prestige Jonas? I know for a long time it was your racket of choice and you. I have tried the MP-L and weighted it up but personally still prefer the older IGMP series but am thinking of weighting the prestige mp 360+ up for a bit more power. The feel is excellent but looking forward trying this newer auxetic pro and tour 😊

@dannylaza1326 10 месяцев назад

Did you experience any difference between the 2021 and 2023 pro? The only difference seems to be the ra is 2 points less from 60 to 58. Overall, would you say they hit the same? I have the 2021 and I like it. I'm attracted to lower flex rackets, but 60 is pretty low. If you didn't feel really any change between them, I won't switch. Thanks!

@jamestan4165 10 месяцев назад

Head has worked some magic with the Prestige cosmetic recently. I also see that there's been a re-release of the Prestige Classic in a 2.0 version, much like the Pro Tour. Looking forward to you review of that one.

@rutan4000 9 месяцев назад

I see TW listed it as a 93 sq inch but a side note hinting that Head decided to use the outside instead of the inside to measure again just like before. It's gonna be even more demanding than the Prince Phantom 93 18x20.

Hey Jonas, I'm playing with the Pro Staff RF97 Autograph but I would love to know if you guys think that this prestige tour is a good opoption I have a one handed backhand and I'm looking for a VERY stable racquet that can produce great power and plow through, I'm considering the gravity pro too, but I'm afraid that could be a bit sluggish.

@Hurry19671 9 месяцев назад

Nice! I had been a LM Radical MP enthusiast, but looked for an adequate new racket (within Head family, similar specs) so I tried the Graphene 360+GRAVITY MP, the Graphene 360+ PRESTIGE S, finally grapped the Graphene Touch PRESTIGE S. (even Headsize 95;) Now I must say the GTouch Prestige S has lacked (for me personally) in generating power. As a 50+yrs guy I want to move on. similar specs but more pop, maybe easier to play (better comfort, bigger sweetspot) . the new 2023 PRESTIGE MPL might do the job. I try out first the Graphene Touch SPEED MP, good for me because specs wise,(even beam is 22mm thin, not 23 like newer versions) and construction a constant beam like the Radical (before Graphine lines) and like the Prestige. With this SPEED I might miss the buttery feel of the PRESTIGE but more power. You cannot have it all! We will see;)

I am looking for a racket that allows me to send the ball exactly where I want it. Since I have strong power, I am focusing solely on control. I aim to hit the ball hard and accurately, like Marat Safin or Sinner. Is the Prestige Pro the most suitable racket for me among the models currently on the market? Or prestige Tour? I am currently using the TF40 18x20

@andrewmorton9639 4 месяца назад

One thing to note about the Prestige MP (18x19, 99sq") and Nikki's comments: Head did produce and Head Prestige Tour 660 in the 1990s that had these same specs. So it's not completely out of kilter with the Prestige heritage to produce a prestige with these specs, although the Prestige Tour 660 was circa 12oz in weight. By the way, Head Prestige Tour 660 was a gem of a frame.

Hi Jonas. Regarding Prestige MP-L comparing to Radical MP - some reviewers say, that MP-L has very small sweetspot (Radical MP seems to have larger) and that it's not very stable at the net. Can you confirm it? And which one (Radical MP or Prestige MP-L) would you recommend for aggressive all-court player who likes playing at the net?

Interesting no mention of Auxetic 2 (which is in the descrip. for these frames on TW). Any difference from Auxetic? The Tour specs are the only one that interests me & prolly worth a hit imo.
