We know you love the classic line of Head Prestiges as much as we do! So it was easy for a few of us to come together and talk about the heritage of these racquets and all the nostalgia around the new intro of the Prestige Classic 2.0! Sporting the iconic maroon color that was introduced with the Prestige Pro 600 in the late 80s, this racquet is not only a great collectible, but it also offers a truly phenomenal hitting experience. With its compact head, thin 19.5mm beam, dense string pattern and low RA the Prestige Classic 2.0 delivers the buttery feedback and mindless precision of a bygone era. That said, this is no mere clone of the original. Head spent over a year experimenting with different layups in order to create a slightly more stable and powerful response without losing the sublime feel that has attracted generations of players. The upshot, according to our TW playtesters, is a more modern Prestige Classic, one that makes it easier to get the ball moving through the court. That said, even without Twaron, this modern remake still captures the magical playability that has defined this racquet since its release over 30 years ago. We tried to answer all your questions in terms of who has played with the Prestiges from the past and which one this plays closest to as well as what makes this racquet a must have!

Babolat is releasing a racquet designed with and endorsed by one of the greatest players of all time, Rafael Nadal! In this episode we learn everything we could want and MORE about this new frame! Completely unique in spec, it boasts a swingweight above 370 (!!!) and a stiffness rating of 70, while the strung weight is just under 12 ounces. We had the chance to speak with Olivier Carlier, Babolat's Global Marketing Manager in the racquet category and picked his brain about this one of a kind frame! We asked him things like: __ __ While we can't all swing as effectively as Rafa, players will find the racquet to absorb and redirect pace, load balls with tons of mass and rock solid stability from everywhere on the court. And this is as close to what Rafa uses that you can get! Even if you can't swing it, it would be a great collectible for any Rafa fan!

In this episode we dive deep into what the ATP Pros are using on tour for 2023! We can't believe Roger Federer is officially off the ATP Tour and we recorded this BEFORE the Australian Open FINISHED, but we still chat all the things when it comes to who made big switches in gear from racquets, shoes, strings, apparel and so much more! We also still are chatting about Break Point and some of the insider perspectives and more chatter around Rafa, Taylor, Felix, Ruud and all the other players featured in this Docuseries on Netflix! And we even go through some of the NEXT GEN American players who are starting to make some noise on the ATP Tour! What do you think?! AND what do you want to hear more of?!
