Head TK293.1 XL Retro Review
Head TK293.1
This is the selection of “retro” racquets that will be included in our “Retro Review” series.
The following data is based on the XL version disguised as the “Auxetic” model. I imagine Auxetic was just a dream when these racquets were made.
While we are on Head Prestige racquets, I am surprised that more players avoid this series!
Especially now with the new Prestige MPL added to the mix.
