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!

Here comes the new Head Gravity Pro 2023, which brings some good stuff! Like a 100 square inch head with a string pattern of 18×20!

You will see more goodies when you look at the specifications!

This new Gravity Pro has a different “vibe” than last year’s model.  Maybe it is the muted graphics!

Head Gravity Team 2023

Mar 10

Posted by

The new Head Gravity Team 2023 is last year’s Gravity S, a stellar racquet for many players!  The 104 square-inch head fits a particular niche, and the modest stiffness will appeal to many!

The head shape on this 104-inch head is more round and nicely proportioned, which adds to the approachability of this model.

As usual, the numbers will tell the story, so look at the specifications!

This is a great option if you want something over 100 square inch head!
