Head Graphene 360+ Prestige Pro

So, what’s in a name?  In the case of the name “Pro” it is weight!  Right out of the box this racquet is ready to go with a wonderful weight and swing weight that you will see in the specifications.

The Prestige Pro is the “different” Prestige in the series with a more sculpted geometry.  This is most noticeable in the shaft right above the grip with tapers and contours all the way to the throat.  The head geometry is more elliptical in cross section than the flat section used in other Prestige racquets.

As you look at other Prestige racquets the difference in the cross section is noticable.  The Tour for example has a “flat” beam cross section and the shaft right above the grip is also a “flat” cross section with little very little “sculpting

The Prestige Pro is a racquet anyone can use with a nice 16 x 19 string pattern and reasonable stiffness.

This is a legitimate 95 square inch racquet with a 16 x 19 string pattern that suits most players.  The full Prestige “cap system” adds a nice measure of stability along with swing weight that gets this racquet into the “power and control” category.
