With its 16x19 string pattern and thicker 22m beam, this Prestige adds a dash of modern spin to the original formula
With its 16x19 string pattern and thicker 22mm beam, the Prestige Tour has long been the most modern racquet in the Prestige family. That said, with its compact 95 square-inch head and newly softened beam (from 65 to 62 RA), it still packs the kind of surgical control and buttery feedback that Prestige purists crave. Thanks to its 330 swingweight, the Prestige Tour not only does a great job redirecting the pace of a big-hitting opponent, but it also provides the needed mass to get the ball moving through the court. For 2023, Head adds Auxetic 2 to the yoke and handle to optimize the response. The Prestige Tour also benefits from Graphene 360+ (labeled Graphene Inside), which strengthens the frame in key locations to increase power and stability. Ultimately, the Prestige Tour is an outstanding option for experienced players who want to combine classic Prestige feel with spin-friendly targeting.

Speed and powerI have played with the Prestige MP (18x20) since the Intelligence series up to the Graphene 360 +. I'm a 51 year old guy, so I decided to try this model looking for more arm speed and deeper shots, and I definitely find it. This racquet is way faster, more maneuverable, and provides more power and spin without sacrificing too much control compared to the Prestige Pro. The feeling on the Prestige Tour is quite similar to the Pro line, but with a bigger sweet spot. I'm using Babolat RPM with 47 pounds.
Not prestigious.Too thick and too stiff for control. More like a Speed model. Shame they can't make a good Prestige since the "i Prestige" or earlier models. Still using a 1994 Prestige that hits like paradise.
Head Prestige Tour 2023Head Prestige Tour 2023. I love this racquet, it has so much power and so much control. Best tennis racquet in a 95" head size.
Solid, but not for meI am a 4.5 senior tournament player. After watching several reviews of the Head Prestige Tour 2023, I took a chance and purchased the racquet. I was looking for a 315 gram, thin beam, and flexible players racquet. It’s a very solid racquet and plays larger than its 95" head size. Unfortunately, the racquet is a bit too stiff for me (even with VS gut 17g @ 48lbs) and causing arm issues. This racquet is probably better suited for younger players.
