HEAD launches Prestige YOUTEK series


 Long time prestige player Marat Safin

PHOENIX, AZ -For many years the HEAD prestige racket has been in the hands of the some of the greatest tennis players to ever play the game helping them win Wimbledon, the French Open and the US Open and countless professional tournaments around the world. HEAD racquets have been and will always be at the top for racquets chosen by the world’s best.
For us that have had an opportunity to blast some serves or hit that amazing forehand winner ala Marat Safin you are definitely going to have to drop what you are doing right now and go pick one up to demo. The Prestige is up there with one of the best engineered tennis rackets every designed. The Ferrari of tennis rackets for many, including Gilles Simon, Stanislas Wawrinka and Tommy Haas who will be using the new sticks at the upcoming Australian Open.
Pro golfer Tiger Woods has been an integral part of NIKE golf and its phenomenal growth. By his need to be an expert and a perfectionist with his input at NIKE working together they have engineered the balance in performance and latest technology to fine tune NIKE golf clubs.

HEAD has engineered new technology into the Prestige Racquet series using YOUTEK™
“HEAD has taken technology to a whole new level with YOUTEK™,” said Roger Petersman, senior business manager of tennis racquets for HEAD Penn Racquet Sports.  “YOUTEK can actually sense the needs of the tennis player during different shots to perfectly match your game.”
 

 

In the YOUTEK Prestige Series, YOUTEK incorporates d3oTM, a “smart material” which dramatically changes its behavior under dynamic loading or impact. Located in the shaft of the racquet, d3oTM reacts to the needs of a player within nano seconds, providing a softer touch and better feel on slow speed impacts, like slices and drop shots, and increases stiffness necessary to create power on high speed impacts, such as a serves and passing shots.

Prestige Pro: Features a more open string pattern providing extra pop for a more aggressive tour player and also includes a leather grip for ultimate tour performance.

 

 Prestige Mid

Prestige Mid: A great tour racquet that offers maximum touch and control with the extra stability that is ideal for serious heavy hitters.

 

 Prestige Mid Plus

Prestige Mid Plus: Provides outstanding touch and control for great playability and is the racquet choice of HEAD stars Gilles Simon, Stanislas Wawrinka and Tommy Haas..
