A custom frame made to the specs of a touring pro. The colour scheme can be custom painted to mimic any retail model on the market that a particular player is endorsing.
Background: The PT57A is part of the Head “Prestige” series and is one of the most well-known pro stock rackets in the world of tennis. It was originally developed from the Head Prestige Classic 600, a highly regarded racket from the 1990s. The PT57A was refined over time, taking on various customisations to suit the needs of professional players.
Specifications: The PT57A is typically a 98 square inch racket with a thin beam, offering a classic feel with excellent control. It is often used by players who prefer a more traditional, flexible frame that excels in feel and precision. It can be customised by adding weight, adjusting balance, and modifying string tension to fine-tune the racket’s feel and performance.
