Finally. A real player reviews a racquet.

[@HG-Tv23]

The Prestige Pro 16x19 works very well for me. I come from the ProStaff 97 V13 and I like the feel of the Prestige Pro 16x19 very much!

[@Bambotb]

Man i was waiting for this...love you so much brother,would be perfect to put timing in video for each racquet

[@Tennisrally_]

Thank you for the reminder, I totally forgot about it once I uploaded the video

[@notyourpgainstructor5139]

nice in depth review! also, very good hitting from both of you

[@Javi_C]

Thanks for sharing!

[@gilmillan1909]

Hello TennisRally My racket is also the Yonex Vcore 95 but the 2021 version, I have struggled a lot finding the right setup experimenting with different strings, placing lead all over the head and even a leather grip, what I need most despite everything is more punch and stability even though with all those modifications my racket weighs 352 grams. I think this NEW Prestige Tour can give me what I'm looking for (PLOW TROUGH and STABILITY) I've already been analyzing it since the previous version but the swingweight really scared me with 338-341 (according to Tennis Warehouse) so I'll see how to test this new version . Greetings and continue creating this type of content.

[@userdjee834]

Good review and nice hitting 💪

[@ArturAndriasian-TennisOn]

Good review! Which racket has balance between power and control Tour or MP? Actually i am playing with TF 40 18X20 and thinking about to try Tour or MP? Which is better for one-hand backhand and flat game?

[@curiousgeorge6921]

You prefer tour or pro 16:19?

[@Tennisrally_]

Tour, there is simply no mass in the Pro 16x19. Can’t tell you which one is better when customized more though

[@ecobetnow]

hey man)) what the better tou you? your Blade 18\20 or head prestige mp 2023?) thx)

[@Tennisrally_]

Of course I like my Blades more, therefore I am using them ;). I like the overall feel and visuals more of the Blades and also the specifications. Blade 18x20 would be more comparable with Prestige Pro

What string and tension do you use in this play test?

23kg

@@Tennisrally_ in all of rackets?

@felipepoisson9734 yes

[@LL-kz1qe]

Hey nice video again. Which one is best for flat precise serve?

[@Tennisrally_]

Thank you! For most precision I would go for the classic Pro 18x20

[@marceloBenfica-b3s]

Hi congrats for the video, there is a version of the prestige pro 16x19 98 head size that only sells in europe. Its specs seems to be better for me compared to the prestige tour which is 95 head size and the pro which is 18x19. My question: how does the prestige pro 16x19 compares to yonex percept 97?thanks in advance

[@weizheng2757]

Hello I'm useing prestige tour 2021 version now. what's the difference between 2021 and 2023 version? Should I update mine?

[@Tennisrally_]

Not much of a difference. If you don’t feel a need to buy a new racquet you should definitely stick with what you’ve got

[@weizheng2757]

@@Tennisrally_ Thanks. And very good videos 👍

[@rickbonner6252]

Does the pro 16x19 string have the same beam width as the 18x20?

[@Tennisrally_]

Yes it has

[@Jr-hb7in]

What is your view of the new Head Prestige Tour 95 vs Yonex vcore 95, esp on the backhand side-thanks in advance.

[@Tennisrally_]

You get less maneuverability with the Prestige Tour since it has a bit more swingweight. Therefore not as easy to generate speed with but in the other hand better plow through and in my opinion easier to hit cross court with since the racquet helps it a bit. Overall the Prestige is more classic and more difficult to use, smaller sweet spot and not as aerodynamic.

[@김민규-z3r4c]

I am looking for a racket that allows me to send the ball exactly where I want it. Since I have strong power, I am focusing solely on control. I aim to hit the ball hard and accurately, like Marat Safin or Sinner. Is the Prestige Pro the most suitable racket for me among the models currently on the market?

[@Tennisrally_]

Something along these lines are definitely going to suit you. I would check in the Blade 18x20 but it is personal how you like your racquet. It’s a but lighter but with higher swingweight

[@김민규-z3r4c]

Thank you for the kind response. Between the Prestige Pro and the Prestige Tour, which one would you recommend more? My goal is to send the ball as accurately as possible, regardless of the difficulty. I am currently using the TF40 18x20

[@Tennisrally_]

@user-go9xp3yr3i Prestige Pro then because of the tighter string pattern

[@tophersuwita]

Do you feel the MP is really sluggish? I demoed one MP and really gelled with it, then suddenly my brand new felt so hard to maneuver. Maybe the demo was underspec

[@Tennisrally_]

Could be the specs but shouldn’t be that much of a difference, I didn’t really notice anything like that

[@tophersuwita]

@@Tennisrally_ I feel like its plow is similar to Blade Pro 18x20, albeit easier to maneuver

[@Tennisrally_]

I would say maybe it has even more plow, or at least some more stability with the thicker frame

[@nathanmiller6051]

Excellent review and hitting! What's your situation with colleges and have you been doing any coaching? Thanks my friend for this review 🙏 I will share it to my Facebook page 👍👊 Awesome!

[@Tennisrally_]

Thank you! I’m no longer considering going to college, choose another route. I am coaching mostly kids in my local club for extra. :)

[@nathanmiller6051]

​@@Tennisrally_Awesome, glad you are doing some coaching, tennis needs more great coaches especially at the beginning levels! Always thought you had the personality and gift for teaching tennis! 🎾🙏

[@Tennisrally_]

Thank you a lot! Really glad to hear that

[@juoujhhgh]

Thanks for the review! Could you go more in depth about what you didnt like about the mp? On paper the specs look good, but all reviews on youtube seem to dislike it but they all just say "it doesnt feel like a prestige" which doesnt help me know why its bad. Sorry for the rant lol. Also does it feel noticeably softer than last gen? RA has gone down from 65 to 62

[@Tennisrally_]

First of, maybe slightly softer, new material helps a bit as well. It’s not by any means a bad racquet, I enjoyed hitting with it. It’s just that it isn’t anything special and doesn’t really fit in with the racquet line. It’s more of a tweener frame with slightly more control in launch and pace. And it sort have a classic look but in the wrong proportions which makes it look/feel odd to me

[@meowmixmeowmix]

Pretty annoying they dont offer the Pro 16x19 outside of Europe.

[@svlagonda7417]

Why? The racquet is garbage.

[@meowmixmeowmix]

@@svlagonda7417 You've demo'd it?

[@HG-Tv23]

@@svlagonda7417 I played It and it actually felt better than the 18x20! The more open string pattern is more into my favor. Also it is the very same frame like the 18x20!!! Lol XD I think you never tried it to be honest! Its a good racket. If its not for you its not for you.

[@mutton4ever]

You would think the 16x19 pro would be sold in the US instead of the 18x20

[@svlagonda7417]

The 98/16x19 is really feeble with its flexy, thin beam and low swing weight. Shots just don't penetrate the court with that racquet. Head need to bring out a proper 22-23mm beam 98 that can compete with the Blades, Ezones etc.

[@Tennisrally_]

Agree, I like the beam thickness of the Tour which is 22mm. Feels just enough but not to much

[@nakmuay5034]

Boom Pro

[@mohammedfarag5845]

Nice review, but I think it's mp l with 16*19,not pro due to its light wt

[@Tennisrally_]

It is a Pro 16x19 for sure, I can tell you that 100%. I have it in front of me.

[@slowbot68]

there needs to be a control 16x19 with actually decent 326+ swing-weight. Stop making them anemic and putting all the weight in the handle!

[@gilmillan1909]

whaaaaaat, Prestige PRO 16x19? 😧😧😧

[@HG-Tv23]

It plays very nicely for me! If you really need more "speed" or "pop" you can play with weights on 3&9 and the strung weight but I found it pretty nice!

[@Bambotb]

They give you free racquets ?

[@Tennisrally_]

Yes, but not to keep. It’s just for testing most of the time

[@mohammedfarag5845]

Nice review, but I think it's mp l with 16*19,not pro due to its light wt

[@meowmixmeowmix]

There is a Pro with 16x19. Only sold in Europe though... which is dumb. I really want this racket.
