HEAD Graphene XT Prestige Pro Racquet Review

The HEAD upgrades the Graphene Prestige Pro for 2016 to produce an even more potent frame in the Graphene XT Prestige Pro. Introduced in 2014 on the Speed and Instinct lines and 2015 on the Extreme and Radical lines, this new frame technology is now incorporated into the Prestige series. HEAD re-engineered the application of the world’s strongest and lightest material to make their Graphene XT racquets 30%* stronger providing an optimized weight distribution for a faster swing and more power. By using Graphene XT in the racquet shaft, HEAD has been able to move weight from the shaft to the tip and handle, increasing power and stability without changing overall racquet mass (more weight in the head provides greater plow through from the baseline, and more mass in the handle reduces torque and recoil). The hefty 11.6 ounce (329g) strung weight is balanced 8 points head light for an excellent combination of baseline power and maneuverability at net, and the 22mm beam is the widest among HEAD’s Prestige tour-level frames for added power and stability. A perfect 98 square inch head size combines with HEAD’s Dynamic 16x19 pattern to help provide spin potential with power and forgiveness in an advanced player’s frame.
