HEAD Continues Legendary Prestige Series

HEAD has launched a new, updated tour racquet - the MicroGel Prestige. One of the most popular tour racquets, HEAD's legendary Prestige is now available with MicroGel technology.

The Prestige was introduced in 1987 and has won every Grand Slam: Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon & US Open. It has been used by legends such as Henri Leconte, Thomas Muster, Goran Ivanisevic and Gustavo Kuerten, the new MicroGel Prestige is also the favorite of current pros like Marat Safin, Gael Monfils and Donald Young.

And it is my all time favorite as well, I used the Prestige I bought in 1988 and used it through 1997! I love these sticks and can't wait to try them out.

"In today's fast-paced, aggressive game, competitive players need a racquet that provides ultimate feel," said Robert Marte, Division Manager of HEAD Racquetsports. "MicroGel technology creates amazing response qualities and is wrapped up in cool-looking high-tech racquets."

When combined with carbon composite fibers in the racquet head, MicroGel deforms and compresses upon ball impact, uniformly absorbing and distributing the impact load around the entire frame, creating a rock-solid feel while offering extra stability against twisting.

The MicroGel Prestige line is available now and includes the following racquets:
MicroGel Prestige MP: A mid-plus tour racquet providing outstanding touch and control for great playability.

MicroGel Prestige Mid: A tour racquet that has the extra stability which is ideal for serious heavy hitters.

MicroGel Prestige Pro: Ideal for the faster playing style of aggressive players. MicroGel provides outstanding feel, with an open string pattern and slightly heavier weight.
