Head Pro Tour 2.0 Racquet Review

Although it is impossible to state which tennis racquet is the GOAT (greatest of all time), Head's Pro Tour 280 is likely on the shortlist of a great many players. Originally launched in the early '90s as part of Head's Trisys line, the Pro Tour 280 (630 in Europe) became a staple at the elite levels of the game. The most recent version of the Pro Tour 280 is called the Pro Tour 2.0 . Unlike the original Austrian-made Pro Tour 280, the 2.0 has CAP grommets, and the graphite layup lacks Twaron, a dampening aramid used by Head in the late '80s and '90s. According to our playtest team, this update also swings a tad easier than the original, and although it has its own distinct and compelling identity, the Pro Tour 2.0 doesn't forget its roots. With its dense string pattern, 20-mm beam and sub-100-square-inch head, the 2.0 gave our crew the surgical control and sublime ball feedback that has defined so many of Head's vintage player's racquets. Granted, with its 335 swingweight, this racquet can be challenging to swing, but for the advanced ball-striker who craves a rock-solid player's racquet with outstanding control and feel, the Head Pro Tour 2.0 is as good as it gets.

• Nothing we could agree on

Bottom Line

This updated classic feels wonderfully solid at impact, and it drops the ball on a dime.

Groundstrokes - Score: 83

From the baseline, the Head Pro Tour 2.0 is everything you would expect a classic racquet with a pro tour pedigree to feel like: plush, precise and solid as a rock. It's safe to say that Chris , whose closet is overstuffed with vintage Head racquets, was extremely excited to try out this update and compare it to the original. He said, "I really enjoyed hitting this racquet off the ground. I found lots of plow-through power to help me drive the ball deep. The more I played with the Pro Tour 2.0, the more I got used to handling its weight and swingweight. The specs fall right at the upper end of my comfort zone, so there was some adjustment before I felt at home with the racquet. Once dialed in, I loved the control and feel I had on every shot. I felt very connected to the ball with this racquet. The Pro Tour 2.0 reminded me of Head classics. Hitting it side by side with an old Pro Tour 630, the biggest difference was this new Pro Tour 2.0 had a more manageable swingweight. While the feel was not identical, I still felt every bit in touch with my shots. I was placing my backhand slice on a dime. I was also able to hit a low, skidding slice that was tough for opponents to return. Flicking angles and lobs was easier with my regular racquet, but I got more drive and plow through from the Pro Tour 2.0. I had a lot of fun driving heavy shots down the line. The dense stringbed and classic feel gave me the confidence to swing big and aim for small targets."

Although this racquet isn't identical to the vaunted Pro Tour 280 used by some of the game's greatest legends, it does have a similar mold, and Mark simply couldn't ignore its history. He said, "Being that Guga Kuerten and Thomas Muster are two of my favorite players, I feel like I have to play well with Head's update to the classic 280/630 racquets. That said, every time Chris gave me a chance to play with one of the originals, I struggled with their high static and swingweight, so I was both nervous and excited to be brought into this playtest. Within a few baseline exchanges, I could tell that the new Pro Tour 2.0 was a little more tip-light than the earlier Austrian-made versions, and by the end of that first session my inner Muster was out. Shot power is not what I am known for, with ball placement being my predominant strategy, and the directional control I had with this stick was outstanding. As far as power goes, I have to say that the more I played with the Pro Tour 2.0, the more confident I became, and the velocity on my groundstrokes did increase without a drop in consistency."

Volleys - Score: 85

At net, the Pro Tour 2.0 delivered the considerable benefits of mass. Put simply, it doesn't get pushed around when the pace goes up. Needless to say, Mark appreciated what the stability did for his volleys. He explained, "Obviously, a lack of stability at net is not going to be a concern with a racquet weighing 12.2 ounces strung, but when paired with a 335 swingweight, maneuverability might be. Personally, the tip-light balance that Head assigned to the new Pro Tour 2.0 is such that I had no issue getting it into position on time, and its hefty swingweight helped keep most of my volleys flying straight and true."

Known for his crafty hands on court, Chris turned this solid and buttery-feeling masterpiece into a weapon at net. He said, "The Pro Tour 2.0 was a gem of a racquet at net. Rock-solid and loaded with feel, this racquet had me feeling in control of every volley. The stable response allowed me to relax and let the racquet do the work. I could punch volleys deep with pace, cut a short angle or hit a deft dropper almost at will. The only adjustment I had was on my overheads. The higher swingweight had me driving shots longer with this racquet until I got used to snapping it down faster to help spike my shots shorter in the court."

Serves - Score: 85

Our playtesters found that the Head Pro Tour 2.0 offered a controlled response and more weight behind their serves. While Chris was able to generate some pace on serve, he mostly relied on his slice on both first and second serves. He said, "I like serving with heftier racquets because they plow through the ball well and help me generate power. The weight of the Pro Tour 2.0 delivered lots of useful pace, and when I added spin, I was hitting some nice, heavy serves. My slice serve wide was working very well. I was able to add a lot of pace to that shot and get enough spin to make it drop inside the lines. The slice serve quickly became my favorite to hit with the racquet, and I mixed it in on both first and second serves with good results."

"I prefer racquets that weigh more than 320 grams on serve for easier access to pace on the ball," added Mark . "And I enjoy slightly lighter racquets (maybe 305 grams) from the baseline for the same reason: easier pace. Hence, there is usually some trade-off for me when it comes to racquet selection. That said, the Head Pro Tour 2.0 complemented my serve nicely. It did not add much in the way of velocity, but the pace I typically generate was effortless with this racquet, and as with my groundstrokes, directional control was great on serve."

Returns - Score: 80

As with the other strokes, the Pro Tour 2.0 was not without its challenges on returns, but Chris simply couldn't argue with the stability, precision and feel. He described, "When having to react quickly, it's not always possible to contact the ball perfectly, and it was on those less-than-perfect returns that I really appreciated the forgiving response of the Pro Tour 2.0. When I was better prepared and hitting cleanly, the racquet felt silky smooth. I felt confident hitting aggressively, using lots of pace and going for smaller targets. The heft of the racquet also made it perfect for redirecting the incoming pace of the serve."

For Mark , this stick felt solid and precise on his slice returns. He said, "Directional control (again) was top-notch from this racquet's heft and tight 18x20 pattern, and that made my backhand slice return one of my favorite shots to hit. On a related note, I liked this racquet enough to play with it more than once per day on a couple of occasions, and the first area of my game where it began to feel pretty heavy was on my return of serve."

Overall - Score: 86

Mark - "Head nailed this frame! This has been one of my favorite playtests, with the new Pro Tour 2.0 now becoming one of my favorite frames. Power-wise, I like that most of the energy return is coming from the Pro Tour 2.0's overall weight, which provides a predictable and comfortable response shot after shot. Lastly, I have to say that the switch to a CAP grommet was a good idea, and it helps protect the Pro Tour 2.0's (coolest ever) paint scheme."

Chris - "I love the classic feel of the Pro Tour 2.0. I've always been a fan of the feel of racquets with a full CAP grommet system. The response of this racquet reminds me of some of my favorite vintage Head offerings, such as the classic Prestiges and the Pro Tour 630. Comfort is fantastic due to the plush feel and hefty stability."

Chris - "While it has a lower swingweight than our vintage Pro Tour 630, I can see some players struggling with maneuverability. Having gotten used to lighter and faster-feeling racquets over the last 10-plus years, it took me some adjustment to get back in the groove with the Pro Tour 2.0 ."

Mark - "It did take a little while to get used to the broader Head pallet since I am accustomed to a more quadratic handle shape, but other than adding a leather grip, I do not think I would change a thing about this classic racquet."

Comparing the racquet to others they've tried, our testers said:

Mark - "Head adds another high-quality example to that small group of heavyweight tennis racquets weighing north of 12 ounces. By virtue of its weight, but not its string pattern, we can compare this Head Pro Tour 2.0 to the Wilson Pro Staff RF97 Autograph and the Yonex VCORE Pro 97 (330). And by virtue of overall weight and string pattern, but not head size, both Prince Phantom 93Ps are comparable as well. However, it is the ProKennex Ki Q + Tour Pro (325) that shares the most traits with the Head Pro Tour 2.0 . Of these racquets, I am most challenged with the Pro Staff RF 97 and have the easiest time (and most fun) swinging the Phantoms and the new Pro Tour 2.0 ."

Chris - "I had a blast testing this racquet. Did I find it identical to the original? No. Just as impressive? Yes. I found a ton of classic feel in the Pro Tour 2.0 . The level of control and precision rivaled the original for me, so much so that the most noticeable change boiled down to the differences in swingweight. Our original Pro Tour 630 has been on a stringing machine many, many more times and hit with many, many more times, so the slightly softer, deader response would likely be due to racquet fatigue. Compared to current racquets, I'd compare this Head Pro Tour 2.0 to the Head Graphene 360+ Prestige Midplus, Prince Phantom 93P 18x20 and Dunlop CX 200 Tour 18x20. The current Prestige Midplus is the closest of the bunch since it shares that CAP grommet feel, but it is slightly more flexible and has a lower weight and swingweight."

HEAD PT57A Review

A closer look a the head pro tour 630/280 pro stock racket. does it live up to its legendary status.

The HEAD Pro Tour 630/280 tennis racket was introduced in 1994 and is revered by many as the “holy grail” of tennis rackets.

Despite its age, the HEAD Pro Tour 630/280 is still in use by several elite tennis players today, most notably Andy Murray , who uses it under the pro stock racket code PT57A.

Pro Stock rackets, like the PT57A, are constructed from better-quality materials and usually strung with unique strings not offered to the general public.

They vary from the racket’s standard sale version in that they are often lighter (awaiting customisation, which makes them much heavier than retail rackets) and have a different balance point.

This enables elite athletes to customise their gear to suit their unique playing styles and preferences, which can significantly impact how well they perform on the court.

I was fortunate to get a Head PT57A in the Graphene Prestige MP paint and took it for a playtest. How did it perform?

Head PT57A Cosmetics

First of all, the racket looks fantastic. I like the paint job, and the racket’s colours matched well. The paint is high quality, as this was a racket made for a professional player. 

Pro Stock rackets tend to use glossy paint to aid the appearance on TV, for example, the Wilson Blade V7 had a matte paint job for retail customers, but all tour players were using glossy paint, which looks better on camera.

Specification and Setup

Head pt57a playtest and review.

First Impressions

The Prestige tennis racket series has a classic feel with smaller head sizes and heavier weights designed to provide players optimal control and precision from all court parts.

Those characteristics fit the bill for me, and the PT57A strikes the perfect mix between the racket style I prefer while still possessing specs that apply to the modern game and one that can be enjoyed by quite a few different playing styles/levels.

Groundstrokes

The control that the PT57A offers is my favourite aspect of the racket. It gives the player control of groundstrokes by requiring good technique and accurate ball hitting to achieve a higher precision.

It works nicely from the baseline if you add enough spin for a little more margin for error. Forgiveness is low, but you are rewarded if you work hard to find the middle of the string bed.

Advanced baseliners typically favour the 18–20 string pattern on the PT57A because their technique allows them to produce power and spin without needing too much assistance from a more open string pattern (16 x 19).

Their racket should support them by giving them a sense of control and accuracy, provided by a denser string pattern. Also, you get a marginally longer string life, which doesn’t necessarily concern pros, but for higher-level club players, it’s beneficial.

You can see the PT57A in action below:

Rackets with higher control and manoeuvrability are more critical for the serve and volley player, and the PT57A Pro Stock racket is perfect for this game style. 

Smaller head sizes and thinner frames are the best for serving and volleying because they provide more accuracy and feel, especially during volleys, and my experience with the PT57A was great.

Some more weight would have benefitted me on faster incoming balls, but the racket delivers crisp volleys, and you get a feel for where the ball will land.

I hit a few volleys with it in the video below:

This PT57A racket also served quite well. I was able to produce a lot of speed. I particularly loved the flat T serve with this racket. I had the impression that I could make an excellent fluid swing.

The racket gave me the feeling I was hitting my serve well, and I also thought I could put quite a bit of topspin on the ball with the kick serve when needed.

On return, the PT57A felt quick and manoeuvrable. I could access power to speed up and deepen my shots.

Since I could produce a lot of spin and the racket seemed solid on quick swings, I had the best results hitting spin returns.

The PT57A offers an exceptional feel from all parts of the court, especially at the net. I could strike with finesse and guide the ball accurately because I felt connected to the ball and confident in my approach.

Who is this Racket For?

The PT57A rackets are for advanced players who prefer feel, control and spin over free power.

If you’re an experienced player who enjoys feel from the stringbed, playing precisely, and being connected to your racket with each shot, then this racket is definitely for you.

Because of that, it’s no wonder elite players praise the PT57A Pro Stock racket, and it’s highly sought after on the aftermarket, with some rackets going for over $500.

However, there is no such thing as a one size fits all for tennis rackets. You must choose the best tennis racket for your style; not everyone should use the PT57A.

However, regardless of level, I do encourage everyone to, if at all possible, try a PT57A or a HEAD Pro Tour 630/280 to properly appreciate that great, “classical” feeling of the ball impacting the strings.

Few tennis rackets compare to the PT57A, and it is a joy to play with. Whether it helps you as a player depends on your overall technique and physical abilities. But irrespective, it will undoubtedly give you a fun-filled hitting session.

Can you buy the PT57A?

Yes, but not directly from the HEAD. Head did re-release a limited edition Head Pro Tour 2.0 in 2021, but they sold out.

So you’ll have to find it on the aftermarket; they sometimes crop up on eBay and sites like ProStockTennis , but they’re rare, and you’ll need to part with the best part of $500 / £500 for one in good condition. 

Other than that, you are reliant on knowing someone who still uses the racket or has it in their collection and hoping they will let you borrow it!

Final Thoughts

The Head PT57A has a terrific feel, swings quickly for its weight, and has a strong, comfortable feeling, regulated power, and stability.

From every part of the court, I enjoyed the racket. Whether hitting with spin or flattening out the ball, I liked the control and accuracy the PT57A provided me (mainly on my volleys).

While there are no universal specs for Pro Stock rackets, as they are heavily customised after manufacturing, I think the optimal weight for this racket is between 330 and 350 grams.

The PT57A I was using during this playtest was 315 grams unstrung, and I had the feeling I didn’t have enough power on some shots and it would be perfect if the racket were a bit heavier.

Overall, this is a true player’s racket for skilled players and will give you an incredible feeling when hitting the sweet spot. Try it if you can!

• Not enough power on this particular PT57A (315g)

Power - 7.5

Control - 9, manoeuvrability - 8, stability - 9, comfort - 8.5, touch/feel - 8.5, serves - 8.5, groundstrokes - 8.8, slice - 8.3, volleys - 9, returns - 8.5.

A true player's racket for skilled players and will give you a great feeling when hitting the sweet spot. Try it if you can!

Head Pyramid Tour 630

The Head Pyramid Tour Midplus is a relatively flexible midplus players racquet with a control oriented 18 x 20 string pattern. It was marketed as the flagship of Head's Tour Series Rackets of the mid-1990's (which included other great player's rackets such as the Prestige, the Radical and the Pro Tour 280/630) The racket was sold as the Head Pyramid Tour in North America and the Head Pyramid Tour 630 in Europe. Very stable with a generous sweet spot that creates a plush, comfortable feel. Similar to the Pro Tour 280/630 but with a little more power.

HEAD iPrestige MP – PT57E

The HEAD iPrestige MP, also known as the PT57E, is a true classic. It has the same mold as the “holy grail”, big brother PT57A, but a stiffer feel.

I had the opportunity to play a bit with Ernests Gulbis old PT57E racquets and felt like I had to create this post and video. PT57E is the pro stock code for the HEAD iPrestige MP that came out in 2001. The racquet has the same mold as the legendary Head Pro Tour 630 (PT57A), but with a stiffer layup. You still feel the racquet “flex” on impact, but you get a bit more power than the PT57A.

The head size is listed at 98 sq inches but is actually 95 since HEAD used to measure the outside of the frame. Coupled with the tight 18×20 string pattern, this means that this is a very control-oriented racquet for advanced players. It is a bit lighter to swing than the Head Pro Tour 630 and power comes easier, but it still has a relatively small sweet spot compared to today’s frames. The PT57E is today used by Pablo Cuevas and Florian Mayer to name two.

HEAD iPrestige MP Specs

Head size: 95 sq. in. / 613 sq. cm. Length: 27 in. / 68.6 cm Strung weight: 12.1 oz. / 343 gr Balance: 6pts HL (32 cm) Swing weight: 324 Stiffness: 63 Beamwidth: 21mm Composition: Graphite Composite w/Piezzo Electric Fibers in the shaft String pattern: 18 Mains / 20 Crosses

The PT57E I use in the video is significantly heavier: 350g strung, 32.6 cm balance, 350 SW. Paired with a thicker grip than what I am used to, it was quite difficult to use, but when you contact the ball properly, it feels great.

PT57E and other pro stocks

Each pro stock HEAD racquet has a code. You can find out more about HEAD pro stock codes here . The PT57 mold was used for the Head Pro Tour 630 / 280 (PT57A), the iPrestige (PT57E) and the HEAD Radical Tour (PT57B). There was also a PT57 mold with a cross-bar called PT57F.

Pro stock frames from HEAD are quite rare and costly to buy. So if you want to try the classic HEAD feel, it is cheaper to get a used retail version. But I really recommend you do give it a try, although they are not the easiest frames to use, they are very rewarding when you play well.

Jonas has been known as "tennis nerd" mainly for his obsessing about racquets and gear. Plays this beautiful sport almost every day.

I have one i.Prestige MP in 98% condition.

Until recently I’d been out of the game for a long time, but I always like to keep one good stick and one good pair of shoes on hand should a game come up. It just so happens the last frame I bought as my “ready standby” was when the Intelligence line was current, and since I preferred HEAD sticks in the mid/mid-plus range I just happened to purchase an i.Prestige MP, ordered strung with Tecnifibre NRG² 17. (This was before polyesters were around and I always have liked TF multis.)

I rarely played since I got it so it is very close to mint; the paint is perfect and the CAP bumper is barely scraped. Since I planned on playing again I regripped it with a similar synthetic as the stock wrap was crumbling. Only later did I find out it was notable by being a PT57 series frame. Now I want to keep it as cherry as I can so I had the (now old) NRG cut out and put Ashaway kevlar/zyex hybrid in it (at 45m/50x lbs) so I won’t have to wear the grommets out with restrings. Now he string bed is so firm it plays like a pickleball paddle, but it still has good pop and feel. (Since then I’m starting to play with various kevlar sets in my other frames, btw). I saw you had the weight at 343 gm; my static weight with no lead or overgrip is 344 gm.

I do like the PT57 family and my current main sticks are the Tecnifibre Tfight 315 Ltd. XTC 18×20 which are basically a PT57/H19 pattern; when you hold them face to face with the i.Prestige every dimension is nearly identical (even tho the Tfight is a nominal 98 sq/in frame. Hmmm. I’ll have to measure the width and height of the stringbed to the mm to see where any difference is).

Great review on a great stick. I wish I had a few more like it, but I’m just glad to have my one.

Love “em! Acquired 3 extended and a standard (Pablo uses the 27.5), they have the best feel/control as compared to the flexi Ti/i.Radicals ….much more scalpel like, stiffer than the 63RA rating but not harsh. Fantastic for old school FH flat shots, they make a wonderful “whomp” on proper contact. Great for training, and they were right at my spec, no lead needed. You must supply the power, but the control….amazing.

Some good info, but the PT57a and PT57e are not the same mold. The PT57a is the retail Head Pro Tour 630 mold and the PT57e is the retail I Prestige mold. Also when you say its lighter to swing than the Pro Tour, that only goes for the frame that you were using, the raquet could be set up with a higher swing weight making it slower/harder to swing. It’s all relative. All the best, Joel

Yes, I know the molds, they have the same mold, different layups/materials. The iPrestige retail came with a lower swing weight out of the box, a lack of quality control can, of course, affect this.

Nope they are not the same mold, if you send me your email address I’ll send you a picture of a comparison so you can see the main difference in the mold. I own both frames and I’ll put them side by side for you, so you can see. All the best, Joel

same mold, not same mold? edge of my seat over here;)

As far as I am aware: the mold is called PT57. The A is for Pro Tour, the B is for the Radical Tour, the E is the iPrestige MP. The letter reflects the layup, such as stiffness, materials inside, and so on. I hope this helps.

HAHAHAHA, Gheez, Tennisnerd is correct and you are wrong and you want to continue arguing with him. Same mold, different layup. This is universally known and understood.

Thanks VS, much appreciated. What does 315 mm translate to in balance? Edit: 31.5 balance = -9 HL I believe, I could be wrong though.  

My balance board only has metric and I only use metric for my racquets. But it is a head light balance. I don't know how many points head light that is. Sorry.  

I invented Trisys. In 1990 I wrote letters to Head, Dr. Phil and Dear Anne telling them about my awesome idea. Nobody responded, then lo and behold, three years later Head bogarts my sweet idea.

FitzRoy, The balance is unstrung. That catalog is from 1994. I don't know where you can get one today.

FitzRoy, Thanks. I never hit with any of the Spalding ATP series of racquets. I know Spalding did have a Prestige Classic copy and a Pro Tour copy. The racquets from Head that are out of that Pro Tour 280/630 mold that I would suggest is: Radical Trisys 260 midplus Radical Tour TwinTube 630 1995 and 1998 versions Vamp Tour 630 Euro women's racquet Lite Tour 630 - it is green and black

VS do you know the specs on that Vamp tour 630? Thanks  

bigtt, Sorry, I don't know the exact specs of the Vamp Tour 630. I do believe the weight is around 10 oz. to 11 oz strung. The stringing pattern and beam width is the same as the Radical Trisys 260.
