[@andrewscott985]

I cannot ignore anymore the fact that I see SolidWorks so often. What a great piece of software!

[@ShaftShackDotCom]

amazing how much work goes into making a single racket!

[@garinleehy657]

Did anyone notice the Babolat Stringing Machine?

[@tigerbalm666]

Babolat #1

[@marvsville]

@Sam Lee I've noticed that Yonex has great rackets.

[@busybillyb33]

Holy bass!

[@dalvaniwernerdacosta1909]

HEAD É TUDO DE BOM!!

[@filmer74]

Got the extreme today I love it!!!!

[@anS0N1997]

and djokovic just smashes it into species in two seconds....

[@miguelbarahona6636]

And he also wins GS at a fast rate.

I Love HEAD, im using the Microgel Prestige and sometimes the youtek Prestige Mid.

[@jeffjeffersons4640]

my 3 head intelligence 93 head size used by Safin before is 17yrs old and still blasting

[@mikeblair333]

I actually believe Andy uses an old Midplus I.Radical with the weight and balance modified painted like the latest youtek with a prestige grommet. The Radical and Prestige headshape is similar enough that you can fit a prestige grommet onto a radical head.

[@teyjoshua1]

Awesome didn't know a racquet bends that much

[@DragoshCryMay]

They all have pro stock racqets made by high quality graphite and very low stifness: TGK, TGT, PT57A, PT10(Prestige Classic) You have no idea.

[@binkyxz3]

"Johnny Mac" machine 3:47

[@CommanderSwedePlays]

@sthsu1990 wait...doesnt Soderling use a radical painted like a prestige? now i'm confused.

[@TheSkyhighmusic]

Head Radical is my favorite weapon of choice ..I've used nothing else

[@zingrock]

So how do you know it's your favourite?

[@boombam3028]

True

[@georgeupc]

Would you be able to post a video on the painting and graphic finishing process of the racquet.

[@watersmoke1114]

Any plans to move production out of China and back to EU? I’m happy to pay a bit more if needed...

[@2ndAveScents]

They won't be happy to accept the loss of profit margin unfortunately.

[@michaelvonhaven105]

How much more? Would you pay for a 500£ racquet?

[@lordcorvid6926]

That's not going to happen. Learn to live with it.

[@otogigamer]

Wrong Murray uses the Head Pro Tour 630. The european model of this racquet uses the cap system just like the head Prestige.

[@TrunxCoss]

cool ... but i got one question... in what part of process do they put the specials tecnolgies (I mean Innegra, D30, Youteck), that head racquets have?

[@davelee6002]

I think you just saw the truth about these "technologies." I believe the variation is all in the placement and orientation of those extra layers of carbon fiber.

[@juztryinnabehonest99]

Wow. Can't believe my yellow Head Extreme is already 6 years old 😂.

[@SpencerMuskopf]

I saw your status and googled how to make a tennis racket and then I came to this and I was gonna comment with the link and I saw your comment XD

[@samrocksmyshire]

fun video, even if it is a marketing tool and all. I'm sticking with my Volkl though...

[@SL9SH]

@sthsu1990 wrong, it's neither a prestige or radical it is a PT57A with a 16x18 string pattern, the most similar racket you can buy to this is a head pro tour 630/280 with CAP grommets...

[@MyBabybuddha]

Hello, I would like to know I'd you can help me out. I own a few head youtek ig extreme 2.0 midplus racquets( Richard Gasquet's 2013 version with the clear bumper guard) and would like to add some lead tape under the bumper guard. Since the bumper guard is clear I would like to replace it with a black b umber guard so that the tape is not visible.. can you tell me if there is a bumper guard/ grommet set(perhaps from a different head racquet) that is compatible with this racquet. Thank You in advance

[@jainutkarsh94]

Hahahaha Murray has been using PT57A for years and years. He only endorses radical. I think his tone in the video gives it away that he's not being completely honest here...so much for marketing..

[@StreamlinedChaos]

@IvanBassTepic he's playing seriously in a match, but he just has the funniest facial expression

[@needshift]

I got 5 youtek speed IG 18/20 with Led were Novak has. And I got them from my rep

[@_aidid]

Cool !

[@omgleeo]

I have 2 youtek speed :)

[@desvae]

The bass tho

[@coochee96]

actually murray uses a Head radical tour 630

[@bengray5013]

The code of the racquet he uses is PT57A, which is the same mould, but it’s customised to Andy’s specs...

[@NinjaStep301]

Prestige Pro

[@kanebobier8459]

the bass in this video lol

[@weyman4317]

Is it the same process in the Chinese factory which is concentrating on mass production or is this just a film about rackets the pros use which we will never be able to buy?

[@coachtj4486]

Andy Murray is still playing the same frame from 20+ years ago, but HEAD won't make it a current model despite it being beloved by pros and strong club players around the world. Not to forget that their implementation of "Graphene" has ruined the famous HEAD feel. Most "lifelong HEAD fans" no longer buy new HEAD equipment; we shop used or go with the HEAD clones still made by other makers.

[@jainutkarsh94]

100% true.

[@bmwf1joel]

Funny Murray is full of it lol doesn't even use the radical he uses a prestige

[@robertoplays3801]

Dude he uses the radical

[@LuchoVena]

+RobertoPlays yes he does, he uses Prestige mold...Since Agassi retired and left Head's Radical line with no face, Murray was given the Radical paintjobs. Pros almost never on this day use the same stock that is sold to retails.

[@reallypantik6283]

+RobertoPlays another one... and Djokovic uses Speed Pro right? :D

[@joshuaman01]

+Yuri Panteleev nope novak is using an old radical something like liquidmetal or fxp or microgel just the old radical not the new ones.

[@reallypantik6283]

I mean it doesnt matter what brand he uses, those dudes custom their raquets so hard that in the long run its completely original product which cant be purchased

[@TheMaxdoodle]

2:42 gandalf now makes tennis raquets

[@tigerbalm666]

I hate the grip shape of head sticks. I like the rounder Prince and Babolat.

[@shofimu]

that voice has a lot of bassssss

[@luitsung01]

this should be the pro factory in austria since the factory has moved to china, and i dont see a chinese labour also the main thing is the calfskin leather grip and the tape, so this is definitely the pro factory in austria

[@emilyhill6922]

wait so they thread them all by hand.... damn

[@chocolatemafia64]

All racquets are strung by hand, it's impossible to string automatically. The only automated thing is pulling tension on a few machines.

[@cvexOCE]

@sthsu1990 I've heard that Djokovic uses a Radical painted like a Speed. Why doesn't Djokovic just endorse Radical & Murray endorse Prestige? :\

[@cmatthew91]

Head - tennis runs in their blood :D

[@anand12337]

Where can I get a tennis racquet custom made for my specifications

[@robs8220]

HEAD headquarters in austria

[@AhmadSyahmi]

And every player’s use old rickets with a new paint job.

[@biologyprodigy]

I currently have 2 Head racquets.

[@rajmodi3107]

👌🏻

[@bestamerica]

' how about america make it own tennis racket... can america company make the hard strong wooden racket

[@georgebred]

doesn't this prove that there is no actual D3O technology in the racquet's?

[@leonardngo8544]

Too bad. I bought couple new Head racquets recently and they all made in China 😢. Don’t have to same feeling as the one made in Austria.

[@CommanderSwedePlays]

@9ManChild9 All i know is Soderling used to use a microgel radical pro(or at least a pj of one) and then he switched to the Prestige pj so that all Head racquets would be endorsed by pros. But it wouldnt make sense for Murray to have a prestige painted as a radical, and Soderling to have a radical painted as a prestige

[@SHINJOONHEE]

No. He uses the Radical Pro.

[@puntzpatz007]

and djokovic uses ti. radical mp

[@Eddu13]

Funny the retail HEAD rackets are crap and only he pros get the fine stuff. I'd never buy a HEAD racket. Murray just said He's been using the SAME racket for the past 7,8 years

[@3rsliz]

Babalot string machine in a head factory it's like plagiarism but with string

[@miguelbarahona6636]

Not really. Stringing machines only put tension on the string. Many brands of machines dp the work.

[@ciritbiras]

wow..1st comment...do tennis only for rich one????

do you still use youtube?

isn't that babolat's line? hahaha

[@cobblestonederek775]

why is this a pe assignment

[@michaelp9061]

it is sad head will never sell anything close to djokovic's racquet. he endorses speed line for the money yet he never used head speed racquets in his life. he uses a pt113b similar to his old radical mold and head tries to fool us by selling junks pros never touch.

[@HyperOpticalSaint]

That's how Murry's and Djokovic's head frames are made. NOT yours. The one you buy are made in China with cheaper material that are stored in less optime environment. I guarantee you the factory making them for Head in China do not even have a room that can maintain a -50 C temperature. Worst part is, both Murray and DJ really use a different modified Radical mold that HEAD will NOT sell to you, unlike Wilson and Babolat, where Federer and Nadal actually use a Six.One 90 and APD.

[@sivakumar-ek4tj]

u canhave racquets in india too @tennishub.in

[@OfficialNakatsuMegami]

Head.. Remember what they did to Penn? They destroyed the company, turned it into garbage, just like their own products. Me? Yonex. Made in Japan. Even my Yonex Strings are 100% Made in Japan.

[@nanxiaxu]

bullshit of Murray,how much Head paid him to say radical instead of pro stock prestige?

[@Mogamishu]

Made in China. That is all that needs to be said.

[@cecozaxariev817]

Man anything is made in china because is very cheap. The material is on level. Right now i can tell your socks are mde in china..... Please dont get my bad.

It does not matter where in the god damn word its made! I only use head rackets and they are the best! Without a douth

[@chocolatemafia64]

actually pro racquets are mostly made in Austria

[@himynamesjimbob]

This is all propaganda. Andy Murray doesn't even use a Radical Racket. His racket is a customized racket closest to a Prestige Pro and then a Radical paint job is applied to it.

[@Eddu13]

Funny the retail HEAD rackets are crap and only he pros get the fine stuff. I'd never buy a racket racket.
