About This Racket

In 1986 Head developed a new material called TWARON into the graphite and fibreglass makeup with help of Dutch company AKZO which had vibration-dampening and strength properties. They made the TX Professional and in late 1986 Head introduced the “Prestige” label in Europe, however, it wasn’t until Prestige Pro was launched globally in 1987 that the first member of the Prestige family was really born. In 1989 Head updated the Prestige by giving it new cosmetics (dark red) and a 93″ head and renaming it as Prestige Pro 600 (600 square cm or 93 square inches). The Prestige Pro 600 became widely used on the men’s pro tour (world number one Thomas Muster, Marat Safin) and is still highly regarded. Later they offered a larger 660 square centimetre head size (102″). It was a big success, 25% of the top 100 on the ATP Tour were wielding Prestiges.

Within 2 years they released a related cheaper model the Radial which had the most dense string pattern ever known. 22 mains and 23 crosses. It has the Twaron graphite, deep red/brown metallic paint work. Made in Austria.
