After the launch of the Head Pro Tour 2.0, we started wondering if classic racquets are still relevant for the modern game.

And if so, who should be using these racquets? Which racquets on the market currently have that elusive classic feel? And which racquets have been inspired by classic frames of the past?

Chris, Mark and Wolfeman join in on the topic and chat about all sorts of things, including racquets to demo if you're looking for that classic feel and how we define the word "plush."

What do you think?! Are classic racquets still relevant? Let us know!

The Head Pro Tour 2.0 is one of the most iconic racquet molds in the history of tennis. Originally released as the Pro Tour 280 in the USA (and Pro Tour 630 in Europe), this racquet has developed an almost mythical following amongst purists and professional tennis players. This updated racquet still retains that classic feel but has a few new characteristics. In this episode, we talk about what makes it different from the original and answer ALL your questions. We also dive deep into the playtest and let you know how it performed from all areas of the court. Spoiler alert: we loved it! Still have questions after listening?! No problem, we're happy to chat and talk all things tennis!
