Very informative! I expected marketing jargon, but I'm pleasantly surprised!

Over the last year and a half, went from Gravity Pro to Prestige Pro and recently switched to the Boom Pro. I love them all and can play with all of them but the Gravily and Boom Pros is a clear cut #1 for me. Followed by the Blade 98.

You should release every mold with blackout edition... Also if I hit with a stiff racquet, I'll definitely not want to have a single off-center shot...

@Head Tennis - Ralf Schwenger - I use to play with 93 and 95 headsize prestige rackets..but as I moved up the ladder and got better and started facing some serious power hitters with lot of topspin, I cannot play with 93 and 95 or a 98 headsize racket ...they flutter in defense...also with poly strings control can be achieved so I switched to a wilson blade 104 v7 racket...and you might have heard about the success of this racket(there is a whole blog on this at talk tennis)..babolat has come out with a 103 pure strike too..head has few 102 headsize rackets but they feel hollow..for me only head prestige feels solid ...so with that being said...could you please bring back the head prestige tour 660 with below specs: - 102 sq inch headsize - 11.2 or 11.5 strung weight - swing weight between 317 to 325..321 being ideal - straight beam 21mm - 7 to 10 points head light - stiffness between 58 to 62RA - offer two string patterns 16x19 and 18x19 wow...that would be a dream racket in the club/usta environment...and please color it all black or all white. try it and see the response...

Initially, you say a larger head size is "easier to play". Then you state that a smaller head size is "easier to handle". Please share with me how these two differ. Thank you!

Love the Head Speed! But the swingweight is to much! Make it 320SW and stiffen up to compansate 🙏

Why are racquets with larger head sizes now made to be lighter and stiffer? I find them unplayable. I am old and wanted a slightly larger head size. I bought a Head Graphene Touch Gravity S but it could not take the pace of my opponents' games. I also bought a Graphene 360+ Gravity Lite - initially it was strung with a poly @ 50 lbs. and it was flexible but VERY harsh. Per Head's recommendation, I had it restrung with Velocity MLT @ 55 lbs. Now it is unplayable - I have no idea where the ball will land and have little depth control and get inadequate spin. In short, these racquets were disasters. My inexpensive Artengo racquets perform significantly better.

Can we possibly get more of that Tommy Haas 1-handed backhand & less of the Head R&D guy talking? Just kidding, actually a decent overview by Head R&D guy so thanks for posting. Questions for Head R&D guy: (1) Why no Pro Tour (2.0/280/630) line of bags for what many knowledgeable tennis fans refer to as one of the greatest rackets of all-time? (See Wilson Pro Staff bags for the iconic Pro Staff line of frames as a benchmark for how it's done), (2) Why no Pro Tour 2.0 in a 16 X 19 string pattern for a more spin friendly alternative (as Head issues with many other frames) @ maybe 10g less static weight & 5-10 less swingweight, (3) Why add the ".0" to the Pro Tour 2 frame's name (would rather just see Pro Tour on the throat side w/o any dumb version number but if Head somehow has have to have one suggest losing the unnecessary ".0" & just go with Pro Tour 2)?.

@chuckfriebe843 2 жыл бұрын

The idea of the "2.0" is like an "update to software" metaphor. Just a marketing thing. btw, that wasn't Tommy Haas. He really looked like him though.

Improve your quality control and you'll sell more racquets. We don't care about any 'new racquet technology' if we can't buy 2 or 3 pcs. of the same racquet with consistent feel and swing weight.

So faster the better swing speed

@chuckfriebe843 2 жыл бұрын

You may get a faster swing speed, but if the swing weight isn't heavy enough to be stable when hitting the ball, then you can get arm injuries. As the guy said, the racquet should be as heavy as you can handle without having difficulties swinging. The more resistance against the pace of the ball, the less likely you are to be injured.

Why don’t your company just offer good old prestige mid classic 600 and pt57a before we become too old to pick up a racquet? Head has to be honest to itself and admit the last 15 years of innovation had went to the wrong track. Just bring back the good oldies and we will be happy.

@ralfmeijerink634 2 жыл бұрын

It probably wont be profitible for them. What people ask in a racquet chached alot and people generaly want more power and a bigger head size than back then. The percentage of people that would buy an old prestige is just really low.
