Head Prestige Tour 2023

This racquet, the Head Prestige Tour 2023, is the epitome of performance racquets!

The first clue is the 95-inch head size.  Then comes the thin beam and slightly stiffer flex!  Plus, you know it is a Prestige because of the full cap grommet system!  This system is one of the greatest features of all time on any racquet!  

We will talk about this more on another Head Prestige 2023 racquet. 

You will see all of the specifications in the table that follows.  Now, we can talk about the visuals.  As with the entire Prestige 2023 series, there is a combination of matt and shiny finishes, and the shiny “purple” is great and does not seem out of place on this racquet.

The beam geometry is slightly different than the Head Prestige Pro to add a little stiffness to the shaft.
