@@othyjasper thanks for the comment :) doing my best. Playing with specs, strings and tensions is fun and can really change the whole experience with the frame. 🎾
I play with Ezone 98 Tour 2022 but so disappointed with the new Ezone Blue cosmetics. Can't wait to buy and try the new 2025 HEAD beautiful Glossy Gravity Tour. I have never ever played with HEAD rackets but im sure getting it early next year. Many thanks for the review. Do you think it will be ok for one handed backhand thouh? Thanks
@@kiranshunpo3566 it is in general heavy in feel in stock form but shouldnt be too far away from your Ezone Tour which is one of the heaviest frame on the market. I wouldnt normally recommend ezone tour for a one hander either so if you are Ok with that one then I guess they are similarly demanding and you will love it haha. Gravity Tour even easier and you have some space for mods. I am not a fan of the new ezone pj either!
but did you measure the swing weight. Because of the variance of swing weight from racquet to racquet it really does not tell a lot to us about this racquet if we dont know the swingweight before and after you added weight.
@@lsfire3489 you are right :/ I dont know the SW. One day I will get it! Lets pretend this is perfect world and +/- all the frames from the factory in China are the same 🥲
@@CB-mr1ci in stock form I felt like i was getting stuck a little bit just before the acceleration forward towards the ball. Leather made it easier to loop my swing into the ball. Was a bit more smooth. Leather is not a must. You can add around 5g to the buttcap. Could work well too! Leather obviously made the impact a bit „harder” on my hand but improved connection. Something for something.
Depends on the starting specs. I go by feel and I know my range of balance and static weight. I know my SW range as well but i dont have SW machine…I plan to visit a pro-shop with my picks one day but we will see when exactly haha 💪 In general I start with just weight to the head unless I already feel the frame as heavy/powerful/stable. I swing it and try on court and adjust from there. With the gravity tour I think it’s quite easy. Start with a leather and then maybe 1-2g at 12. From there you can move the balance point further down and/or remove the leather and add the mass closer to the buttcap to achieve desired balance with minimal boost in static weight. Leather is fast and works well in gravity tour.
@@farood5 lynx tour is a bit stiffer (and heavier) so it wasnt as exciting. But maybe Alu Power…i mentioned tour bite which is stiff as well but the spin is better with the tour bite. Lynx tour better tension stability and more linear launch.
@dandan.tennis dont care about endoresments. Its all a lie. I play with a Textreme Tour 100 310 2019 and its much much better than for example Solinco Whiteout. Aero 98 is comparable, but Prince is easier to use.
@ i know its a lie but adds to the experience :) from not endorsed frames I used to play with Angell TC95 and TC100. They save the specs of each sold frames and the frames are foam filled. This is customer experience. What game Prince is playing to attract new people? I know budget is a tough reality but cmon. How expensive it is to send out some frames around the world to some reviewers. Head made an impact. They took the risk. Meanwhile Prince is not responding to my messages :p in general I want to try some of their frames. Lets dont forget that the star was born with Prince (Swiatek) before she moved to Tecnifibre :)
@@EGchristian Yes. I would rate it at 62-64. Not only by the feel but also the boost from the racquet. Stiffer than the blade and vcore, softer than the ezone. But the feel is very clean and direct. Not harsh. I remember that Prestige Pro 2023 was kinda similar in feel. Very well defined response so you have the crushing sensation and the power is not lowered by the nuddle. Oh also - to me gravity tour is „softer” in feel than Percept 97 but those two are very similar in how I felt the impact. Yet still gravity tour a tiny bit more comfortable (probably because the string spacing is wider)
Thx for confirming. I had the chance to play test the teaser too. The stiff feel really surprised me (Hawk Touch had never felt so brassy before). The harder I hit the stiffer it felt, quite weird sensation for me.
Have you watched the fight between the tecnifibre tfight 305 and prestige pro ? :) or the „Road to the finals” where I talk a bit more about the frames ? :) i still love the prestige pro. More than gravity pro. I said that Prestige Pro and Prestige MP are the frames that managed to stay in my mind and in both cases I went with more power but it might be my mistake. I try to find biggest power that I can control and still feel the court.
Really great review! I love how you talk through your specs

How would you compare it to the Head Boom Pro (control, power, spin)?

How’s the feel compared to with leather and no leather ?

When you add weight to the head, do you counterbalance in the handle?
You don’t need to do it all the time. Like if you add 2 grams in the hoop I wouldn’t bother with counterbalancing. If it’s like 6-8g then yeah.

Surprised you didn’t try it with Lynx tour champagne 1.25 mm ?

You need to review Prince racquets
@@Robust2013 Pouille got wildcard to AO I think so lets first see how deep he will go :)

Did you find it stiffer than the RA rating indicates?

Lol what happened to you 18x20 prestiges you were saying were the best etc
