The trick with my racket is that is feels fantastic on first try, but later on you realize its like a fitness trainer that forces you to be super awake and move a lot around the court with high accuracy. You need time to appreciate it and realize the demand of it. Its for intermediate to pros,, everyone else is going to have a bad time. Dont believe it? Hit fast slice serves, hit drop shots from quicker balls, generally try spin and faster balls from your opponent. If youre playing a loser *cough* youre NOT giong to notice the demand :)
This really isn't made for competitive play, even if one wants a control racquet. It's about nostalgia, and having fun hitting this incredibly smooth frame.
@@johnnyguitar6697It Is made for competitive playng, this Is a holy gral of racquets..the problem Is that Who use the racquet often Is not made for competitive playng.
@@Renaud-n5f Agreed. In fairness though, it may be tough for even very good players to be able to play with it unless they are older and have played and are comfortable with these classic racquets from back in the day. I still think this racquet and 95 sqin racquets such as the Head Pro Tour 280 are usable today. Andy Murray and Francisco Cerrundolo still play with the Pro Tour 280
All of these guys are one of the best players at Tennis Express.
This is currently my favorite racquet to play with though, great review!
You guys have proper technique unlike the guys at tennis warehouse

Is the grip on this one rectangular shaped like Classic Head racquets or is it more like modern Head grips?
Vs Solinco whiteout?
@PrecisionPointTennis No one on the ATP tour uses a mid these days. They’re all 95 sq inch or larger. Good luck sticking with your i.Prestige Mid.

I’ve got the OG PC600 and PT600. I still hit with them from time to time for nostalgia reasons. However, I’m not the one using it on the ITF tour.

Wish it had a 58 RA. Then I’d switch from my 2001 i.prestige mids that I’m still using currently on ITF futures tournaments 🏟️
