A “bag” Thank-You!
Thanks to all of you that saved the World Headquarters of Racquet Quest from being over-run by bags! There are still a few really good bag opportunities, however!
In addition to bags, I have a few new racquets, of earlier models, that need a place to play! One Prestige (middle) is the 25th Anniversary Edition! The Prestige next to it is the “S” version which makes it suitable for nearly any player style. The Radical (far left) is the Graphene Radical “S”. The Instinct is the Graphene “S”, and the Speed (far right) is the Graphene Speed “S”, 16×19 string pattern.
These racquets are new.
As you know, Racquet Quest is serious about stringing, so the string selection is up to you, and of course, we will help you make a selection that will enhance your performance. Stringing is not included in the ridiculously low racquet prices.
Can You Buy Prestige?
Of course, you can! In fact, you can buy four (4) models of Prestige!
You know we are talking about the Head Prestige racquet that has, for many years, been the pinnacle of the Head tennis racquet line-up. Some of the best players in the world got there with the Prestige racquet.
The “Bad Boys” of the Head Racquet lineup!
The “Pro” weighs in at 330 grams (11.6 oz) with a swing weight of 330 with a 16×19 pattern.
The “MP” weighs in at 340 grams (11.9 oz) with a swing weight of 319 with an 18×20 pattern
The “RevPro” weighs in at 310 grams (10.9 oz) with a swing weight of 325, and, get this, a 93 sq. in. head size with a 16×19 pattern! This is a dream!
The “S” weighs in at 326 grams (11.5 oz) with a swing weight of 320 with a 16×19 pattern.
The entire Prestige series, except the Rev Pro which is slightly different, uses the awesome “cap system” which is a bumper guard and string protection system the captures the entire head of the racquet lending stability as well as protection. When the strings are installed the cap system sort of collapses around the string keeping them safe from ground smacking!
Head Prestige Pro
So, none of these racquets is “wimpy” but none of them are out of the ballpark for good recreational players or those that want to become better players.
I think the Prestige Series has been overshadowed by the “Speed” and very popular “Radical” series from Head but there continues to be valid spot on the racquet roster for the Prestige racquets.
You can try one to determine of you can “buy prestige” for yourself! Demo’s of each model are in the shop so call or stop by to check them out.
Head Graphene XT Speed Limited Edition
Head has introduced a Limited Edition of the very popular Speed series and it is awesome looking!
New Head Graphene Speed XT Limited Edition’s Ready!
In addition to the great look, this racquet incorporates a slighlty different string pattern
and may be of interest to those seeking a little more spin potential.
The overall weight and swing weight make this a perfect candidate for customization for those players wanting a more powerful, control oriented racquet.
The black grip is a tip-off that this is a performance racquet, and, black looks good on this graphic!
More of these stunning racquets should be arriving in the next day or two so come in and take a look at the racquet and “special” back pack “bag” supplied with the racquet.
A new Limited Edition MegaCombi 12 racquet bag is worth looking at if you want the ultimate technical “carrying case” for your twelve Speed Limited Edition racquets!
The string in these racquets is Ashaway Monogut ZX Black.
Where the Graphene XT is located.
For Sale!
