Head MicroGel Prestige Pro Tennis Racquet The Head MicroGel Prestige Pro is an update to the latest version of Head’s hugely successful player-oriented Prestige series, inspired by numerous Head Touring pros. The Microgel Prestige Pro offers the ultimate control of Head’s players racquets, utilizing a more forgiving mid plus head in combination with a more open string pattern and slightly heavier heft than the standard Microgel Prestige. Maneuverability remains intact thanks to a nicely weighted head light balance.
Head has kept most specifications consistent with the Flexpoint version of the Prestige, but now with the added benefit of MicroGel technology. MicroGel offers aggressive, competitive players ultimate feel, unique touch, and added stability. When combined with carbon composite fibers in the racquet head, MicroGel deforms and compresses upon ball impact, uniformly absorbing and distributing the impact load around the entire frame, creating a rock-solid feel while offering extra stability against twisting.

Customer Review: BEST VALUE RACQUET I bought a prince o3 “red” and used it for a few months; I liked it. Then I broke a string and had to switch back to my “reserve” racquet, the 600G. It was a night and day difference! The sweet spot was huge, everything felt so much easier! When I saw how cheap this racquet now goes for (back in england in 2006 I paid over 120 STERLING for this racquet) I bought another. The prince is now confined to the closet. And I am now the best tennis player in the world… (one part of this review is untrue). Customer Review: I would buy it again This is the best racquet I’ve played with because of its balance of control, power and maneuverability.It’s good for serves, ball placement, drop shots and plenty of spin. This 600G is the best value on the market today.

Volkl - Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus Tennis Racket w/ Free Stringing Volkl is proud to embrace the many accolades given over the past years to the legendary C10 Pro - realizing that an improvement was not only possible, but also needed for today’s game. With this in mind, as well as respecting those players who believed that the C10 Pro was their personal “Holy-Grail”, Volkl is proud to introduce the next “Legend” to the tennis world - Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus. The biggest difference between the Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus and the Tour 10 V-Engine Mid Plus can be found in the throat area. The Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus remains traditional looking in this region. By doing so, the “soft” / “flexible” / “feel” remains for those players longing for that special feel of yesterday’s racquets but having today’s technology enhancements for greater performance. Let there be no confusion! The Tour 10 Gen II Mid Plus is a serious racquet designed only for the serious player who demands the ultimate in today’s technology combined with the traditional feel of yesterday. Ideally suited for players with aggressive, long strokes. Recommended for the 5.0-7.0 NTRP level players. Dynamic PCP: Power Control Pattern: The dense string pattern in the racquet’s sweetspot ensures that power is controllable. Balls hit outside the sweetspot maintain optimal power and comfort thanks to the more open string bed. Sensor Tour Handle System: Includes a two part racquet shaft and TechnoGel surrounded by EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate). This is visible technology you can actually see through the butt cap of the racquet. Designed to dampen vibration without sacrificing touch. Free Stringing Included: We will string this racquet for you at the manufacturer’s recommended tension using Wilson Stamina 16g synthetic gut at no cost.
