Head Prestige MP (320g)

The iconic Prestige Midplus gets a major overhaul for 2020! Boasting a new mold with a thinner beam and reengineered sweetspot, this traditional player’s racquet is stable without being unwieldy. With its thin 20mm beam, arm-friendly flex (61RA) and dense 18×20 string pattern, this update lives up to its Prestige pedigree – think best of class levels of control and feel. Compared to the last generation, it has a slightly larger and more forgiving head size (from 95in² to 98in²) along with a juicier and more responsive feel higher in the stringbed. The upshot is a more modern feel marked by a tad more pop than the previous generation. Built with Graphene 360+, the Prestige Midplus combines the stability and power of Graphene 360 with SpiralFibers in the lower head for a cleaner feel at impact. From the baseline this racquet feels wonderfully plush at impact. Full swings are rewarded with a laser-like trajectory, and the slightly higher power level makes it easier to drive the ball through the court. Although it packs a near 12 ounce static weight, the sub 325-RDC swingweight keeps it manageable. At net and on service returns the Prestige Midplus does a good job redirecting higher levels of pace, and it will give you enough touch to drop the ball on a dime. Aggressive servers will find surgical placement, and there is decent power to be had for those who can get this stick moving fast. Offering a welcomed boost in power for 2020, the Prestige Midplus continues to evolve. But make no mistake, this iconic racquet remains one of the best options for the advanced player seeking control and feel.
