Head TGK238.1 Retro Review
Well, it is not often we do a review on racquets not made in this century, however, it is not often we get brand-new ones to work on! Remember that the graphics pack, sometimes called “paint job” may not reflect the actual racquet.
Our good friend and client Christian sent us these incredible racquets we will review in the coming days.
Most of the racquets we will review from Christian would be referred to as “Pro Stock”.
By having this data we can probably set up a current racquet to feel very close to the “Pro Stock” units.
There is a lot that goes on under the “paint job” that very few know in detail, such as fiber layup, resin system, material percentages, and more.
So let’s enjoy what we can determine from these racquets.
