Head Gravity Tour 98-Pre Release Version

Sep 29

Posted by

If you have listened to our latest podcast, you will know a little about the new Head Gravity Tour 98, to be released in January 2025!

Racquet Quest, LLC has the pre-release version and is excited to share what we can.

The difference between what you may see online and what Racquet Quest, LLC has is we have taken a raw racquet and applied the desired specifications to it.

We see this as a racquet suitable for many playing styles and levels, so we began with a swing weight of 321 and an overall weight of 327.

After Stephanie’s brief video about her reactions to this Gravity Tour 98 racquet, we will return to associate her comments with the numbers in our review! Wouldn’t that be fun?

In Stepahines’ video, she adds several years to the age of her Gravity MP, calling it 2003. Actually, it is 2023.

Now, here’s Stephanie!

Now, the numbers…

The racquets shown here are “raw” meaning they require “building” them to the player’s specifications.  The maximum length is 28.0 inches, however, the most common length is 27.5 inches  The overall weight and swing weight can be matched to a current racquet or be unique.

Customization includes grip size and grip material (synthetic or leather).

Head TK293.1 XL Retro Review

Apr 6

Posted by

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.

We have a new shipment of the Head Prestige 16×19 in case you missed the first bunch!
