The Head Youtek Prestige MidPlus is the top choice of Head touring pros and updates Head's hugely successful player-oriented Prestige series. Keeping most specifications consistent with the previous model it combines maximum control with superior feel for excellent playability. Now with the added benefit of d3o technology on the go shots are well rewarded.

How? D3o behaves differently on different shots fluctuating to maximize performance. High-speed impact locks the d3o molecules together, to provide maximum power by stiffening the frame. Equally, on slower speed shots, d3o provides a softer touch for better feel, as the molecules absorb the impact. Players can now hit passing shots with more power and drop shots with more precision and touch.

Compared to its midsized brother the YOUTEK Prestige Midplus offers more forgiveness and more power, even from a more compact swing. By utilising the larger headsize along with a dense string pattern there is plenty of performance for the all court player. From the baseline we noticed pinpoint accuracy with plenty of access to topspin and slice. A good sized sweetspot helped to generate good pace on the ball. The head light balance means this racquet is manoeuvrable giving volleys a nice balance of stability and forgiveness.

Much like previous versions this racquet shines in terms of usable manoeuvrability combined with the comfort that comes from a solid feel. This racquet provides plenty of versatility and is suitable for all playing styles at an advanced level.
