To many racket connoiseurs, the made in Austria Head Prestige Tour 660 is very difficult to string properly.
The challenge stems from its very soft flex and hoop which distorts very easily.
Not my preferred racket to work on too. Many extra precautions to adopt. But, once in a while, I like challenges...
Strung with full poly strings.
New stringjob with full poly on the left while old stringjob with the stenciled head logo on the right. Both done one-piece.
Seems to me the old stringjob compressed the frame narrower.
When I checked my unstrung and strung hoop distortion, mine was out by 0.5mm. Not too bad. I'll take it!
In case you missed it, here's a previous experiment I did with my friends on stringing very flexy frames:

The proud owner of this PT660 couldn't wait to take it out for a game!
