Product Review
Description
The HEAD Prestige Tour 2023 Demo Tennis Racquet updates Auxetic technology to 2.0. It features the smallest head size in the HEAD racquet lineup. This model has a 22-millimeter beam, 95 square-inch head, and 16x19 string pattern. This version adds an Auxetic cage down at the end of the grip for a better connection to the ball. An Auxetic reaction adapts its internal structure to offer superb feedback and an impressive feel at impact. The new technology is designed to inspire confidence by giving active, real-time feedback during play. HEAD`s Graphene Inside tech places the material in key locations of the frame for greater energy transfer and stability.
The Tour`s stability and precise flex should be a perfect fit for advanced players who crave control. The head light balance makes the nearly 12-ounce strung weight easier to swing when on the move. The Tour model offers a little bump in stability when compared to the slimmer Pro version. For those who prefer a classic 95 square-inch head, The Prestige Tour is difficult to beat.
String Recommendation: HEAD Hawk Touch 17 at 50 pounds
Features:
-Auxetic 2.0 introduces the Auxetic cage at the end of the grip.
-The elongated shaft design features a classic flex that has been a hit on tour since 1987.
-Though the 95 head is smaller, the open string pattern and 22-millimeter beam give the Tour an impressive combo of spin and stability.
