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.

Head FlexPoint 10 Tennis Racquet The Head FlexPoint 10 Oversize is a power-oriented option in the new-for-2005 Head FlexPoint series. The FlexPoint 10 offers a very powerful feel thanks to its 31mm width beam, yet is surprisingly controlled thanks to the “flexpoints” cut into the frame at 3:00 and 9:00. Also, slightly lighter than the other FlexPoint frames.

Two precisley engineered holes at the 3:00 and 9:00 position work together to bring power in control. The dimple is engineered to create flexibility by reducing beam height by a maximum of 25%. The hole reduces sectional stiffness up to 50%. Basically, the racquet is cupping the ball to hold the ball a split second longer and create a narrower path. A rifle instead of a shotgun. The racquet also produces less shock making the new FlexPoint 10 a winner for beginning to advanced intermediate players.

• Headsize: 121 sq. in.
• Length: 27.50 in.

Customer Review: Great racquet for the intermediate player
Positives:
1. Great racquet with lots of power and feel. Love the low weight and light feel.
2. Negatives:
lack of feel from the midcourt (on the rise approach shots are a good example), need to compensate with a slower/shorter swing.

Customer Review: King of Prince
This is the racquet why I started to play tennis back in 1987. This racquet force me to follow thru the ball and improved my game into the next level player. I play with many demo racquet and own up to 20 racquets at one time, but at the end this unique Prince racquet is the best of Prince. Head had the Radical, Wilson had the Pro-Staff and Prince is the Graphite Classic. I just order 2 from Amazon, and I will try to buy when ever I could find them. I own 6 of this Graphite Classic and 10 other Price Graphite Family. Love of the Game.
Customer Review: A good racquet for a strong player
When I owned this racquet as a teenager I loved it and when the time came, I bought a new one. However, now that I am older and don’t get to play as much I find this racquet requires just too fast a swing for me to maintain over a full hour or so of playing.
