HEAD introduced the Prestige Pro tennis racket in 1987 and it has been making legends for 30 years. With this racket, players like Emilio Sanchez and Goran Ivanisevic became legendary -- and so did the racket itself.

At these low prices, it's worth a punt on the crowd-funding website to see what happens: "When their gone, they're gone!"

The only player ever that had to forfeit a match because he broke all his rackets.

A little addicted to Head, from my Racquets (Tennis and Squash) to my sports clothing (shirt, pants, socks, underwear :O) I've got a plethora of Head Products and just adore the brand. So any excuse for a new watch and racquet is welcome hehehehe

Had no idea Head was still around - but then it's been over 25 years since I watched a tennis match Interesting that they went for a watch and it's certainly not breaking the bank

Strictly speaking, HEAD Watches are licensed to use the HEAD name and logo but are a separare family owned company. Obviously, there is cooperation about design, marketing and tennis ambassadors. The watch models are designed after all the sports that HEAD serve and not just tennis e.g. skis, snowboards, racquetball, padel, squash, swimming etc. Regards, MTF
