Prince ATS Tour Racquet Review (98 and 100)

The Tour family of racquets became a hit when Prince introduced them in 2015. Here is my Prince ATS Tour racquet review the 98 and the 100.

Most important for this review is the entry of the Tour 98, an entirely new model in the Prince Tour series. And an important one as the 98 sq inch head size is very popular among advanced players.

The other models in the line-up, like the 95 and the 100P, will be reviewed shortly as I’m expecting a shipment.

Like with most racquet line updates, there is not a huge change in performance from the 2019 Textreme Tours to the 2022 ATS Tours. Textreme and Twaron are still a part of the layup, with the ATS meaning “Anti-Torque system”, featuring the materials in the shaft and at 10 and 2 in the upper hoop. The idea is to increase stability but another result of it is also an increase in swing weight.

There are no large shifts in the racquet specifications, but the stiffness is quite a bit lower (measured in RA units). A low 60 RA strung usually means that the frame flexes a bit more on impact than most modern racquets (high 60 RA).

Prince ATS Tour 100 (310g) Specifications

Head Size: 100 in / 645 cm Length: 27in / 68,5cm Strung Weight: 326g / 11,5oz Unstrung Weight: 310g/10,9oz Balance: 31,98cm / 7 pts HL Unstrung Balance: 31cm/10 pts HL Swingweight: 323 Stiffness: 62 Beam Width: 22mm / 23mm / 20mm Composition: Textreme/Twaron/Graphite String Pattern: 16 Mains / 18 Crosses Mains skip: 8T,8H

Prince ATS Tour 98 Specifications

Head Size: 98 in / 632 cm Length: 27in / 68,5cm Strung Weight: 323g / 11,4oz Unstrung Weight: 305g/10,8oz Balance: 32,49cm / 6 pts HL Unstrung Balance: 31,5cm/9 pts HL Swingweight: 325 Stiffness: 62 Beam Width: 23mm / 23mm / 20mm Composition: Textreme/Twaron/Graphite String Pattern: 16 Mains / 19 Crosses Mains skip: 8T,8H

As you can see the head size is the main difference in the specs. Most other factors are quite similar in between the 98 and the 100.

How do they play?

Both the Prince Tour 98 and the 100 are power-oriented without going all the way to stiffer racquets like Pure Drives, HEAD Instincts, or Wilson Ultras.

You get a fair share of spin, but they’re not exceptionally aerodynamic like spin-focused racquets (Aero, SX, Extreme etc). Think of them more like modern, middle-ground racquets that are versatile and perform well for a wide range of player types. Since they have relatively high swing weights, you need to be an advanced player to benefit fully from them.

But if you like a stable racquet with good comfort, feel and a nice balance of power/spin/control, the new Prince ATS Tour racquets should go on your demo list.

Comparing the 98 and the 100

It sounds logical that the 98 is faster through the air thanks to the smaller head size. It also offers better control, but less power than the 100. If you’re an attacking player relying on precision, the 98 is the way to go. Spin-oriented baseline players will likely prefer the Tour 100.

Compared the Prince ATS Tours to other brands

The Prince 98 is somewhere in between an Ezone 98 and a Blade 98 in power level. The Ezone is slightly more powerful, while the Blade is a more control-oriented racquet than the Prince. I think a lot of players will enjoy the blend. I think it’s also somewhere in between a Pure Strike 98 16×19 and a TF40 16×19.

The Prince 100 is more in line with a HEAD Speed MP/Pro. A bit more spin-friendly than the Pro, but similar in weight and power level.

Compared to previous version (2019)

The Prince ATS Tour 100 is a crisp yet arm-friendly feel. It’s more comfortable and stable than the predecessor at the cost of being tougher to manoeuvre.

Hey Jonas, I am still playing the 2019 310 rackets. I am really happy with them but also excited about the successors. The weight is still the same, but the swingweight is even lower. Are they really more clunky in the hand? Thanks for your honest reviews, best wishes from Germany …. and one of the last Prince players here ;)

Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 290 Review

Updated with a more flexible beam construction, along with a new paint job. how does the new textreme tour 100 play.

For 2022, Prince has revamped their Textreme Tour line, adding their Anti-Torque System (ATS) technology and, of course, a brand new paint job.

The Tour line has several rackets to choose from, the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 95, Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98, Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P, Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 310 and finally, the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 290.

For this playtest, I picked up the 290g version, which is the lightest in the range and targets beginners and intermediates looking for an arm-friendly, easy-to-swing racket.

How does it play? Find out in this full Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 290 review and playtest.

Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 290 Cosmetics

The new Textreme Tour line features a white base coat with a splash of solid black in certain areas and then a geometric line pattern on the throat and hoop in orange and cyan colours.

The head guard is orange, as are the grommets with that same orange used for the logo on the Prince Resi Pro grip.

I’m a fan of the design as I like white rackets and the injections of colour give it a bit of a funky look. The fonts used also work well for the ‘Tour’ branding.

The only area I don’t like is the grip, as I am not a fan of having logos on them; however, that is quickly fixed with an overgrip.

Prince ATS Textreme Tour Line Spec Comparison

My specifications and setup.

prince ats textreme tour 100 290 stringing

After removing the grip cellophane, I got the Prince on the weighing scales. The unstrung weight specified by Prince is 290g, but mine was over that at 294.4g.

This variance is pretty standard for most tennis racket brands’ tolerance levels. Luckily, I’d prefer a racket at 290g to weigh 294g as it brings the specs a little closer to the weight I usually like.

When strung, it came in at 316.5g with an overgrip, a balance of 33.5cm, 2 points head light and a swing weight of 327 kg/cm2.

If you bought this frame based on wanting a sub 320 swing weight, you would be disappointed. So do ask the retailer to match the specs if they offer it.

You can see the official (+ Tennis Warehouse ) ATS Textreme Tour 100 290 specs below and my self-measured specs for comparison.

I used Prince Diablo 17 (1.25mm) for stringing as a two-piece string job at 50lbs. Stringing the frame is easy with clearly marked holes and only having to skip 8T and 8H for the mains.

The 16 x 18 string pattern means the crosses are easy to weave, and you’re stringing one, or two crosses less than usual, which speeds it up.

For those interested, Prince Diablo is a co-polyester string that’s a tad softer than most strings in the category, and I thought it would pair well with the open string patterned ATS Textreme Tour 100.

The racket had an L1 grip which is not what I use, so I bumped it up with an overgrip. This took the specs to 11.2oz / 316.5g with a swing weight of 327 kg/cm2.

First Impressions

prince ats textreme tour 100 290 impressions

It has been a long time since I’ve used Prince rackets as, unfortunately, the brand hasn’t been well sold in Europe and therefore isn’t as popular or readily available as the other big players.

But popularity, marketing and having pros using the brand do not make a racket perform better. After all, the vast majority come from the same factories, so I was looking forward to giving the Textreme Tour line a playtest.

I’d already read and watched several reviews of the 95 and 98-square-inch rackets, but there was little on the 290g racket and having not used the previous iterations (the racket Iga Swiatek used before she signed with Tecnifibre), I wasn’t too sure what to expect.

After my first few hits, my thoughts were that the Tour 100 290 packs a decent punch, feels stable and is a racket I’d be able to use with no problems.

Groundstrokes

My first few full-blooded groundstrokes were wild from the back of the court.

Most of my play before this playtest was with a Blade 98 v8 18 x 20 , which is a heavier, more headlight frame, so replicating those shots from muscle memory sent this ball flying towards the back fence.

However, after the first dozen shots and not trying to hit the felt off the ball, I started to get a feel for it.

Given the 16 x 18 pattern, I expected a high launch angle, but the Tour 100 290 doesn’t balloon the ball at all, and the strings are not that widely spaced around the ‘sweet spot’.

The slice, in particular, felt good, which again surprised me given the racket was 100 square inches and 16 x 18, yet keeping the ball low with a decent pace was not a problem.

This was probably helped by the extra mass in the hoop, which put a bit more oomph behind the ball rather than a loopy-type shot.

My other main takeaway was the Tour 100 gives an excellent connected feel to the ball, and the Diablo strings paired with the soft frame gave a very satisfying sound on impact.

The Textreme Tour 100 290 is a solid feeling frame from the baseline overall. It is not a whippy racket, but you can still swing it fast, and despite its low static weight class, it doesn’t get pushed around by heavier incoming balls.

Any downsides? This is personal, and your mileage may differ, but I found my forehand on the run where I’m trying to whip the ball cross-court and then recover became unreliable. This is probably caused by the weight distribution in the frame, which takes some more adjustments.

What You Can Expect

Not as high a launch angle as you’d expect from a 16 x 18 pattern
Pleasing thud sound at contact
Connected feel to the ball

The more I think about racket reviews, the harder it becomes to talk about specific shots, as they are very personal.

None more so than the service as you control every aspect of it from start to finish. Therefore a racket I think is good for my serve might be terrible for yours. And much of it depends on what racket you are transitioning from.

However, all players looking for spin and slice will find it with the 16 x 18 string pattern, and I think most players will find something they like when serving with this racket.

At 100 square inches, it does most things well – power but not excessive, control but not the ultimate precision and spin is plentiful.

Up at the net, the Textreme Tour 100 290 performs well. The racket I tested had a fair bit of mass in the hoop, so it was very stable, and punchy volleys had some real bite.

On the flip, the manoeuvrability of the frame wasn’t the best for those quick reaction type volleys, but if you were in position early or needed a little bit of extra stability when on the stretch, then your volleys were in good shape.

Good stability for a sub 300g racket

Returning serves ATS Textreme Tour 100 290 worked well. Again the 316.5g strung weight and 327 swing weight meant stability was not a problem.

Blocked returns worked well, and I felt I could still get a decent piece of the ball even on those off-centre stretch returns.

In the hoop at 10 and 2, Prince combines TeXtreme with Twaron for their ‘anti-torque system’, which probably helped. I measured the twist weight of this frame at 15.15, which is relatively high for a sub 300g racket, and a point higher than the 2019 version of this frame.

Who is this Racket For?

prince ats extreme tour 100 290 thoughts

Like the Head Boom MP I reviewed recently, the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 290 is a racket with which many players of varying abilities can pick up and play decent tennis.

I think it is very well suited to a higher-level female player (it is no surprise Iga Swiatek used the previous version of this frame in stock form), as the best description I can give is that it’s a lighter player’s frame.

Most rackets in the 290g range are often stiff layups with lower swing weights, whereas the Textreme 100 comes in with a softer 62 RA and a 318 swing weight (if you get one close to spec).

You also get that mixed beam width that starts at 23mm, moves to 20mm, and then back to 22mm. This gives you a frame that blends the ‘tweener’ type spec with the thinner beamed player frame.

With my outlier specs and higher swing weight, I was almost playing with a customised version of the Tour 100 290, which means I benefited from added stability and higher shot weight (‘plow’, as the Americans, often say).

Based on how my racket played, I could see quite a few players adding lead to their frame to bring the stock specs closer to this one.

At stock specs, the Textreme Tour 100 290 will be a good racket to demo for intermediate male players, strong female players and those looking for a solid base to customise from.

Final Thoughts

The Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 290 ‘s slick cosmetics, coupled with the excellent thud acoustics it makes during impact, make it a very fun racket to play with.

At the time of writing this review, I hit with it for about 12 hours, and despite thinking I was ‘done’ with the review, it has become a racket that I keep picking up to play with, thanks to its ease of use, comfortable yet solid feel and the fact it does most things well.

While the racket didn’t deliver on the promise of a fast feeling and speed the net, it gave me plenty of controllable power, good stability and a great feel.

Good blend of all-around specs

And if you have tried the 290g version that was ‘on spec’, I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on stability, manoeuvrability etc. Do they differ from my experience?

Prince Tour Review: The Best All-Around Prince Racquet

The Prince Tour is a racquet built for the modern game. The Tour is a well-balanced racquet built with great power, comfort, and feel. It comes in several frame sizes and has an open string pattern for plenty of spin.

We recommend the Prince Tour tennis racquet for any intermediate or advanced players who need a balanced racquet that excels in several areas.

This racquet really doesn’t have any weaknesses, and I was super impressed when I played with it. I found it has very easy power from the baseline, good feel on transition shots, and solid stability on volleys.

While it didn’t excel in any one area, I loved this racquet’s all-around playability, especially the 98 version.

Great for high-level intermediate players who want added spin to their groundstrokes.
A lighter version of the 100, this racquet is for lower-level intermediate players.

Prince Ripstick Review: Master of Spin & Power

The Prince Ripstick can create massive amounts of spin and power on groundstrokes.

The open string pattern (16×18) helps beginners and intermediate players learn topspin. This racquet has an easy-to-swing frame with O-Ports that improve racquet head speed. You’ll generate effortless power on groundstrokes and serves.

To prioritize all that spin and power, Prince had to sacrifice some control and stability. Still, it is one of the best tennis racquets for power on the market.

We recommend the Ripstick for beginner and intermediate players who want added spin and power from the baseline.

When I tested the Ripstick, I found it super easy to hit the tennis ball with good depth on my groundstrokes. I was able to create more topspin than normal on my backhand as well. From the baseline, this racquet is a great choice for intermediate players and athletic beginners.

However, I don’t recommend it for advanced players or people who like to get to the net. It didn’t perform quite as well on volleys or defending against pace. The ball seemed to fly when I missed the sweet spot on hard-hit shots.

Overall, it’s still a great racquet for a good price.

Pros, Cons, & Ratings for the Prince Ripstick

See our ratings, plus the pros and cons of the Prince Ripstick below for a quick glance at how it performs compared to other tennis racquets.

Our Ratings for the Prince Ripstick

Allows for fast improvement for beginners & intermediate players
Lacks some control & stability, especially against pace

Best for intermediate players looking to add spin and power to their baseline game, especially singles players.
Best for beginner or lower-level intermediate players who need a lightweight version.

Prince Warrior Review: A Balanced Power Racquet

The Prince Warrior is designed for players looking for a superior blend of power, spin, maneuverability, and feel.

The 100 square-inch head and Textreme material give this new version added stability without increasing frame stiffness. Still, this racquet is more known for being headlight allowing for good maneuverability. It has nice pop on serves and provides lots of spin.

With this racquet, players are able to land groundstrokes deep into the court while also coming in and finishing volleys easily. This is because the racquet is easy to maneuver from any position on the court.

Prince Textreme Warrior 100 tennis racquet

We recommend the Warrior for players who want a balanced racquet that is geared towards power.

I found the Warrior to have similar power and spin to the Ripstick, but with slightly less comfort. I found it easier to swing and maneuver, but more difficult to generate depth on my shots. I liked how it was so easy to control, so can definitely see how it’s a great choice for older players who need something lightweight.

I don’t recommend it for younger, strong adults because of its lack of stability against pace.

Pros, Cons, & Ratings for the Prince Warrior

See our ratings, plus the pros and cons of the Prince Warrior below for a quick glance at how it performs compared to other tennis racquets.

Our Ratings for the Prince Warrior

An easy-to-maneuver racquet
Good power on serves and from the baseline
Great for learning topspin
Reasonable price
Not great for control at the net
Not great stability for high-level players

Different Models & Specifications of the Prince Warrior Tennis Racquet

Here are the different available models of the Prince Warrior.

Best for older, intermediate players looking for a good all-around racquet that prioritizes maneuverability.
Best for intermediate players looking for an all-around racquet that’s heavier with a closed string pattern.
Best for lower intermediate players looking for a racquet that provides easy power and spin while being arm-friendly.
Best for beginner and intermediate players looking for a larger sweet spot without losing too much control.

Prince Phantom Review: An Advanced, Control-Oriented Racquet

The Prince Phantom is designed for advanced players looking to harness their skills with a control-oriented racquet.

The thin beams and low flex points allow for the racquet to have pinpoint control with great feel on contact.

With this racquet, players are able to land groundstrokes deep into the court while not giving up any accuracy. It also performs great at the net with both stability and touch.

We recommend the Phantom for advanced players who want a control-oriented racquet.

Pros, Cons, & Ratings for the Prince Phantom

See our ratings, plus the pros and cons of the Prince Phantom below for a quick glance at how it performs compared to other tennis racquets.

Our Ratings for the Prince Phantom

Precise control & feel
Arm friendly racquet

Choosing the Best Prince Tennis Racquet for You

When choosing a tennis racquet that fits your skill level and playing style, you have to consider what areas you need the most help with.

If you’re an athletic, physically strong adult with big groundstrokes, you probably don’t need help with power. If however, you’re a USTA 3.5 tennis player who plays for fun on weekends and has a compact swing, a racquet with added power is exactly what you need.

The Tour is Prince’s best all-around tennis racquet. It works for a wide range of players at any skill level. However, if you know you’ll need more help with control, the Phantom is going to be a better racquet. The Ripstick and Warrior are the best Prince racquets for intermediate players or seniors who want to create more spin and power to control the point.

The Prince racquet you choose should be specific to your game. For more tennis racquets, check out our reviews and buyer’s guides below.

Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P Racquet Review

Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98 Racquet Main Image

The Prince Textreme Tour 100P gets a highly anticipated update with the inclusion of ATS technology. Designed to strike a balance between arm comfort and a slightly stiffer upper hoop, the 100P offers excellent stability. While it remains similar to the outgoing model in some ways, Prince relaxed the flexibility to create a large sweetspot and a forgiving feel. Our playtest team did notice less power overall, but the addition of precision from the baseline and on returns of serve led to confident strokes. As far as the 18x20 pattern goes, our team was impressed by the amount of spin they could generate. On serve, the maneuverability overhead helped create a smooth motion through contact. While there were a few instances of instability against big hitters, by and large, this racquet stood up to the test at net with a nice blend of connectedness and control. This ATS Textreme Tour 100P is, without a doubt, worth a demo for players looking to take full swings and play aggressive tennis without having to give up ball placement.

Precise targeting
Nothing we could agree on

Bottom Line

This version is unlike the previous version of the Pure Aero VS and delivers plenty of power and spin with a little more precision than the standard Pure Aero.

Intermediate to advanced

Groundstrokes - Score: 86

Sometimes the stars align, and in this case every member of our playtest team brought extensive experience with both previous versions of the ATS Textreme Tour 100P . Tiffani explained, "I've played with the 2015 version of the Textreme Tour 100P for years, so I've been eagerly awaiting this update. I liked the preceding 2019 version, but I stuck with the original in the end because I preferred the slightly more flexible feel. With this ATS 100P, I feel like Prince has returned to a softer feel. This racquet offers me a great blend of control and just enough power. Although I'm not a big hitter, I prefer racquets that emphasize feel and precision over big power and spin, and that's what I find from this 100P. I can get plenty of topspin for my flatter hitting style, and I like how the string pattern and flex allow me to dig into my slice backhand. On the flip side, the ATS Textreme Tour 100P let me drive through shots with confidence. I usually play with multi-poly hybrids or a full bed of poly strung at 48 to 50 pounds. My favorite string setup with this playtest was a shaped co-poly. We typically string at 52 or 53 pounds for our reviews, but for my own setup I'd drop it a few pounds to get just a little more pop."

After a few small adjustments, it was smooth sailing for Brittany . She said, "I have long been a big fan of the Tour 100P, and I would consider it to be one of my favorite 18x20 string pattern racquets. I was on the playtest for the 2015 version (two generations ago), and I find that the two play relatively similarly, and I could switch back and forth without any adjustments. One of the first things I noticed with this new Tour 100P was the launch angle. It's a little bit lower than what I'm used to, which isn't a bad thing, just something I had to keep in mind when I was rallying from the baseline and noticed my shots were landing a bit short. I was, however, able to really swing through the ball without any fear of overhitting. I was also impressed with the control, which allowed me to be aggressive and go after riskier targets."

This update helped Jason with his accuracy, but there was one aspect that just didn't pair well with his game. He described, "I felt like this racquet offered high levels of control thanks to the 18x20 string pattern and great mobility. I was comfortable taking full cuts at the ball, knowing that I would not overhit. The good thing about this racquet is that its tighter string pattern is more 'open' than other comparable 18x20s. That meant I was still able to get a decent amount of spin on my shots. What this racquet lacks for me, though, is enough power to easily put shots away."

Kristen hits with the outgoing version, so she picked up on a few notable differences. She said, "The Textreme Tour 100P has been my racquet of choice for some years now, so I was excited to get this updated model out on court. From the first hit, I was reminded of the 2015 model since it felt a bit lighter through the air and more flexible in nature than the 2019 model I currently play with. I can't say I was super thrilled about that, because one of the reasons I was such a fan of the 2019 model was that Prince upped the stiffness a bit, making it more powerful without sacrificing control. Additionally, I thought the stability of the 2019 was superior. With this update, I was lacking a bit of stability coming through the ball. The racquet got pushed around against heavier hitters, which affected my consistency and control. I was also noticing a lot of vibration feedback. I did, however, appreciate the more whippy mobility for times when I was pushed out wide and had to slice balls back into play."

Volleys - Score: 84

Directional control and maneuverability stood out when our team volleyed with the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P . The feel of the ATS Textreme Tour 100P gave Brittany a lot of confidence when she was volleying. She said, "I actually preferred playing doubles with this racquet specifically because of how well it performed at net. I thought it offered a great balance of stability and maneuverability. The racquet was stable enough that it felt solid in my hands even on the heaviest of passing shots. It was also quick enough for fast reflex volley exchanges. I absolutely loved the connected feel and was able to utilize different angles and spins just by softening my hands. I felt very confident ending points up at net."

Jason echoed Brittany, saying, "The racquet felt quick and maneuverable on my volleys. I thought it had a nice feel and was forgiving on off-center shots. I enjoyed hitting touch and drop volleys with the ATS Textreme Tour 100P."

This area of the court left Kristen wanting a little more out of the ATS Textreme Tour 100P. She explained, "Moving into net, I didn't find this update to feel as stable as the 2019 model. It offered good maneuverability and decent touch, but the racquet would get pushed around a bit against tougher shots."

Tiffani felt right at home with the Textreme Tour 100P at net and found plenty of similarities to her own racquet. She said, "Since I've used a version of this racquet for quite some time, I was comfortable coming to net. This racquet offers good comfort and enough stability for me. I also feel in control of the direction of my volleys."

Serves - Score: 84

The Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P received praise for easy targeting on serves. For Kristen , it meant using placement to keep opponents guessing. She described, "This was one of my favorite shots with the ATS Textreme Tour 100P. It felt super whippy overhead, allowing for easy spin and pace generation. I could pick my spots with ease, and I also found I was able to maintain a relaxed service motion, even when I was under pressure during match play, thanks to the effortless feel overhead."

Jason enjoyed serving, noting control as the primary characteristic. He said, "This was an easy racquet to serve a high percentage with. It comes up and through contact quickly, with little lag. I also felt like targeting was top-notch. Like with my groundstrokes, I was wanting more power on my serves."

"If there was anything the previous version did better, I might say serve," Tiffani added. "There might be a little bit more free power on serve with the 2019 version, but the margin didn't feel huge. The specs of this ATS Textreme Tour 100P feel familiar and smooth when I swing it overhead on serves. That confidence let me mix up my serving strategy with slice and flat serves."

Brittany had to adjust her strategy to work with a low-powered response on serve. She explained, "Compared to the 2015 version, I found I had to work a little harder to hit with the same amount of power. I had to put a little more effort into generating racquet head speed to hit the same MPHs. However, I had a lot of success with my precision. I focused more on smaller targets and utilized my slice first serve to get some free points. I wouldn't say there was anything special with my second serve, but I was able to hit it consistently without thinking too much, and that was a good thing."

Returns - Score: 85

The Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P held true to form on the service return, again giving our team command over the ball and the green light to swing big. Tiffani said, "This racquet just suits my swing style well. On returns, the 18x20 string pattern is dense enough to let me feel in control of where I'm sending the ball, but it's also open enough to get me the net clearance I need. I hit very flat returns, so if a string pattern is too dense I'm likely to hit the net or drop my shots too short. Although I didn't get free and easy depth on my shots, I think the confidence this racquet gives me to swing out or block a hard-hit serve has a lot to do with why I like it so much."

Jason loves to rip big forehand returns, and that tactic paired perfectly with the Tour 100P. He said, "I felt like I was able to swing away with this racquet. The lower powered response combined with the higher level of control let me take full cuts without fear of overhitting. However, I was leaving balls short when blocking or chipping a return back."

Brittany discovered she could trust redirecting returns, giving her control of the point from the first shot. She described, "I loved being able to really swing out on the ball on returns, and just like with most racquets, I preferred returning over serving with the Tour 100P. I was able to take big cuts at the ball and aim for whatever target I wanted. I could start off on offense on both first and second serve returns. The racquet pretty much did what I wanted and offered a consistent and solid response."

The love Kristen has for the outgoing model just wasn't there this time around, although she still found a few positives. She said, "The ATS Textreme Tour 100P was easy to get into position when hitting returns, and there was a nice response out of the sweetspot. However, like groundstrokes, I found that the control and stability could waver a bit."

Overall - Score: 86

Brittany - "I like the feel, the control-to-power ratio and how the ATS Textreme Tour 100P performs consistently from all areas of the court."

Jason - "Comfortable response. Precise and control oriented."

Tiffani - "I like how the ATS Textreme Tour 100P balances power and control. It also has a mix of a classic feel with a more modern swing and response."

Kristen - "Great maneuverability, easy spin, effortless motion on serves."

Brittany - "Nothing really!"

Jason - "I'd like more put-away power."

Tiffani - "I don't really have any. The stock grip can feel a little slick, but I use a tacky overgrip anyway."

Kristen - "The ATS Textreme Tour 100P racquet lacks stability, and I feel vibrations on some shots."

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

Brittany - "Compared to the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 310, I found the Tour 100P to have a lower launch angle and better maneuverability. I was able to hit a more consistent ball. Other racquets that play similarly include the Head Gravity Tour, Tecnifibre TF40 305 18x20 and Head Speed Pro 2022."

Jason - "This Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P is similar in playability to the Babolat Pure Strike 18x20, but with a softer response."

Tiffani - "If you've tried any of the two previous versions, this ATS Textreme Tour 100P will feel familiar through the air. I think this version is more comparable to the 2015 version than the 2019. It has a slightly softer feel than the outgoing model. Outside of Prince, I would demo it with the Head Gravity Tour and Yonex VCORE PRO 100 or 98."

Kristen - "As mentioned throughout my comments, this 2022 model swings a touch faster and has a lower flex rating than the 2019 model. I find the stability of the 2019 model to outshine this update, and I get a better balance of power and control with the 2019 model since it feels more solid in hand. Therefore, I'll be sticking with my current racquet and not updating my racquet of choice this time around."

prince textreme tour 100 310 racket review

Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Racket Review

The Prince Textreme Tour 100 promises the unreal blend of modern player’s racket manoeuvrability and classic pro-style control that gets us excited for a racket playtest!

I’ve always enjoyed Prince’s heavier rackets and find they are an excellent option when it comes to pro-style frames.

Yet, so far, I’ve yet to find a Prince stick that I really like in the 305g to 320g range.

At 310g, the Textreme Tour 100 is right in my ideal weight range, I tend to find I get the most out of rackets around the 310-318g mark, so I was excited to see what this stick could do for me.

I’m a lover of control from a tennis racket above all else, so the 322 swingweight of the Textreme Tour should hopefully give it some extra control and feel that we’ve loved in some of the heavier Prince rackets.

Custom Fittings

Discover your perfect racket and string combo!

This racket sees an update to Prince’s signature Textreme Technology, with the introduction of Textreme X adding a substance called Twaron to the frame to increase dampening and improve the feel.

This allows Prince to give this racket a lot of stiffness, without having to compromise on comfort.

With a swingweight of 322 and a 65-stiffness rating, the Textreme should feel extremely solid for a racket of 310g, allowing players to attack the ball with good precision.

I have been a little bit critical of Prince’s lighter rackets in the past.

One thing I value in tennis rackets is consistency throughout a range.

Obviously, different rackets within a range are going to vary a lot based on the weight, but you want there to be defining characteristics throughout the range.

Many times, I haven’t found that with Prince, but the Textreme Tour 100 gives me hope.

Warming up with this racket, you notice it has very good balance, and great manoeuvrability.

The 7 PT head light balance makes the racket easy to swing and encourages aggressive strokes.

This is complemented nicely by the 16 x 18 string pattern, which gives you enough pop and spin to bring the ball nicely back into court.

From first impressions, this racket has all the makings of a great racket for an aggressive baseline player.

It has the manoeuvrability that is required in modern tennis but draws on the control of a more traditional racket.

It might not be the best idea for beginners or lower level intermediate players, but more advanced players will find this racket gives them a lot of options.

Moving to the back of the court, I was struck by just how fast this racket was.

It really flies through the air, and anyone looking to increase their racket head speed will surely love this stick.

However, you can’t tell much about a racket from the warm up, so we set about putting this racket through a vigorous playtest.

Over a couple of sessions, we put the Prince Textreme Tour 11 through sets, drills and challenges to find out exactly what you can expect from this racket!

Groundstrokes

8 out of 10

One aspect that I really enjoyed about this racket was its balance.

I like a racket that feels equally good on all shots without any particular “stand-out” shot, and that is what I found with the Textreme Tour 100 .

Whether it was the serve, return, groundstrokes or volleys, this racket did everything very well and there wasn’t any area I was disappointed in.

What the Textreme Tour does very well is blend the characteristics of a modern, speedy player’s racket with the stability and control of a classic frame.

For my own preferences, it probably leans a little bit too much towards the modern player’s racket, but I think this is something that will suit most people.

I found the 7PTS headlight balance to be a little bit too much for me.

I’m somebody who naturally has very fast groundstrokes, so the manoeuvrability of this racket was a slight overkill.

I did have trouble timing a few balls, but once I got my eye in it didn’t result in too many problems.

Because you get so much racket head speed, I found that the 16 x 18 string pattern gave me a ton of spin, which again, was a little bit too much.

I’m somebody who naturally hits with a lot of topspin, so I lean towards a racket that helps me flatten the ball out.

So, I think that I would probably be more suited to the Prince Textreme Tour 100P, but I won’t let that detract from what a good stick this is.

For players who are looking to add a little bit of racket head speed and spin to their game this is a great option for adding all those things without losing control and feel.

It makes playing aggressive baseline tennis effortless, but you still get an excellent blend of power, spin and control.

I enjoyed using the extra little bit of spin I got with this racket to work in some really tight angles and use the full width of the court to punish my opponent without having to sacrifice margin for error.

Off the backhand side, I felt that the 16 x 18 string pattern gave a nice little bit of pop and I was able to attack well off this side.

Depth came easily and this allowed me to step into the court and take control of the point; something that I find a little bit harder to do off the backhand side.

The forehand side was where I had most problems with the Textreme Tour , and I did feel like it took a little bit away from me on this stroke.

I was able to generate a huge amount of topspin on this side, but I felt like some of it was unnecessary, and I spent much of my time trying to hit flatter, with little success.

How you feel about this racket depends largely on where you fall between modern player’s racket and classic pro style racket.

I’d say I lean a bit more towards the pro style, which is why I think I would be better suited to the Tour 100P.

I think there will be more people who prefer this Textreme Tour 100 (310) though and there are tons of players who should take a look at this racket.

Although it wasn’t perfect for me, I gave the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) an 8 out of 10 from the back of the court.

It has a lot of strong qualities and can add a great deal to an aggressive baseliner’s game.

As we suggested, the Textreme Tour 100 is a great all-round racket, and this is backed up by its strong performance at the net.

The blend of manoeuvrability works a treat at the net and gives it volleying powers beyond the average 310g racket.

At the net, you can appreciate the head light balance that makes this racket move into position so quickly.

You won’t find yourself struggling to adjust with the Textreme Tour 100 at the net as it is simply so fast and easy to move.

Once you come to hitting the ball you won’t be disappointed either as the Tour 100 provides a great platform to guide the ball back exactly where you want it.

This stick is extremely stable and absorbs power to allow you to cushion the ball into the right spots.

I found this racket to be particularly strong on difficult pickup volleys, where I had to get into position quickly and take pace off the ball.

The frame stayed very strong throughout the shot and allowed me to comfortably get the ball back into play.

The 16 x 18 string pattern also plays nicely when you’re looking to inject a little bit of power into the ball on overheads and put away volleys.

Would I say this racket is as good at the net as something like the mighty Textreme Beast Pro 100 Longbody? Well, no, but it was never likely to be.

What the Textreme Tour 100 does is take some of those good qualities of the Beast Pro and makes them more accessible to the average person.

This results in a very good performance at the net and a well-deserved 8 out of 10.

8.5 out of 10

The serve was where the Textreme Tour 100 really got the most out of my game.

I value the racket head speed just a little bit more on serve than on the other strokes and I found that the Textreme gave me the perfect blend of speed and power.

When you find a racket with the perfect setup, serving just becomes one of those things you can’t help but enjoy.

Everything I tried on serve with this stick went well, whether I was hitting flat first serves, top spin second serves, or my slice slider out wide, I found I had the control and power I needed.

The headlight balance helps to get the racket moving quickly from the beginning of the motion, and from there, there is no backing out.

If you keep the racket head speed up and attack the ball, you’re going to be rewarded with this racket and you will see the free points coming your way.

I played a couple of sets with this racket where I only lost serve once.

Most of those games I breezed through as well, so I would certainly say this was a good playtest from the Textreme on serve.

I gave the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) an 8.5 out of 10 on serve and got on really well with it.

It’s one of the best serving playtests I’ve done in a long time and it made a big difference to my game.

The Textreme Tour 100 is an excellent allrounder’s racket for someone who values a racket with manoeuvrability and control.

It is ideally suited to an aggressive player who loves to attack from the baseline but is also comfortable at the net.

For those players who love a little extra spin from their racket, I would certainly suggest they check out this racket, but for those of us who like to flatten the ball out a bit more, I would be more inclined to suggest the Textreme Tour 100P.

Whichever version of this racket you go for, you are going to be in for a treat because they are all excellent rackets.

The feel and control from this stick is just what you want, but you get even more manoeuvrability than I initially expected.

For me, this was a little bit too much, but that’s just a personal preference.

The Textreme Tour is one of those rackets that has no real strength or weakness; it does everything very well and that is something I look for in a racket.

If I had to choose a part of the playtest that I enjoyed the most it would be the serve, where everything seemed to click for me.

The 7 PT HL balance gets everything moving on the serve, and the Textreme gives you such stability on contact that all your energy translates into power.

I said at the beginning, I have loved some of Prince’s heavier rackets, but haven’t yet found a lighter one that I really like, but that has changed now.

This racket provides a very good option for players looking for something in the 305 to 320g range, and I would certainly include it as one of my top picks in this range.

Overall, I gave the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) an 8 out of 10.

It is very strong on all strokes, with no obvious weaknesses. One you should look at if you’re an intermediate/advanced player who loves to play attacking tennis.

Prince Tour 100P 2022 tennis racquet review

Review of the Prince Tour 100P 2022 tennis racquet.

One of the most control oriented tennis racquet with a 100 in²/645 cm² head size.

Good mix between power and control, good access to top spin, great manoeuverability and comfort for this new version that I found very close to the previous model.

Prince Tour 100P 2022 video review

Introducing the Prince Tour 100P 2022

The Prince Tour 100P is a control-oriented, low-power racquet that isn't very hard to play.

It is one of the rare racquets to combine a 645 cm² headsize with an 18x20 string pattern.

With the same association head size/string pattern, there is also the Volkl V-Feel V8 Pro (300 g), the Head Gravity Tour (305 g), the Head Speed ??Pro (310 g), the Head Gravity Pro (310 g), the Prince Phantom 100X (320 g) .

This association allows you to benefit from:

power, tolerance, access to top spin with the 645 cm² head size,
the control given by the tight 18x20 string pattern and the fairly low stiffness.

Finally, we obtain a tolerant racquet, with access to correct access to topspin and a good power/control compromise.

Regarding the shape of the head size, it is rather elongated, which I find interesting for maneuverability.

Lower stiffness

This 2022 version of the Prince Tour 100P has a slightly more flexible frame (the stiffness goes from 66 to 61 Ra), to improve the already excellent comfort we had with the previous version.

Another improvement concerns the Anti-Torque System (ATS), which corresponds to the use of Textreme and Twaron materials in the handle, as well as certain parts of the racket head.

ATS technology limits frame deformation when hitting and improves racket stability.

In comparison with the previous model I have, in size 3 as for the test racquet of the 2022 model, the grip of the new model is larger than that of the old model.

For the 2022 model, I find the size to be what you most often see for a size 3, whereas for the old model the grip was quite small.

The power of the Prince Tour 100P 2022 (305g)

In terms of power, the Prince Tour 100P is a control-oriented racquet, with slightly reduced power.

At the same time, it's not very hard to play with this racquet.

I want to warn you that a risk with this racquet is too lack power, be careful.

The 645 cm²/100 in² headsize helps to provide power, but the low stiffness and the tight 18x20 string pattern reduce the power.

During my test, I had an excellent power/control compromise in forehand and backhand, with sensations very similar to those I have with the previous model.

We feel that the racquet is not extremely powerful but with a monofilament string stretched to around 22 kg, we still get a decent amount of power without forcing too much.

Since this racquet is not very powerful, I recommend it to players who are able to produce power with their technique and their physical skills and it's better to have large swings to find some easy power.

To conclude, in terms of power, good mix between power/control but be careful to the control oriented side of this frame.

To help you locate the racquet in terms of power, here is a comparison with other racquets:

More powerful racquets:

Babolat Pure Drive, Pure Aero

Access to top spin with the Prince Tour 100P 2022

Concerning the access to top spin,

the versatile head size helps for the access to top spin,
the narrowed 18x20 string pattern reduces access to top spin.

Overall, the access to top spin is really correct, thanks to the 645 cm² head which compensates for the tight 18x20 string pattern.

A monofilament string that is not too tight (about 22 kg), with a medium gauge (1.25 mm) or smaller will facilitate the access to top spin.

Maneuverability of the Prince Tour 100P 2022

With its balance located at 31 cm for an unstrung racquet, more on the handle side, I found that the Prince Tour 100P had excellent maneuverability.

On my one-handed topspin backhand , I sometimes lack maneuverability with certain racquets having a head size of 645 cm² and a rounded shape.

With the Prince Tour 100P, I didn't have this problem at all, the rather elongated head shape helps to have more maneuverability than with a more rounded head shape.

Comfort of the Prince Tour 100P 2022

I found the comfort excellent with the previous version of the Prince Tour 100P and I found these feelings again with this new model.

The vibrations are well absorbed, the shots are very pleasant and the tolerance is good, we keep comfort even when we off center the ball.

To increase comfort, I recommend using rather low tensions (about 22 kg), especially with monofilament strings.

To whom I would recommend the Prince Tour 100P 2022

I would recommend this racquet to tennis players who meet these criteria:

not for beginners,
intermediate or advanced level who want a slightly heavy racquet,
able to produce power with their technique,
who have rather large and relaxed swings, in order to have power without forcing too much, because the control oriented side is present,
who want a control-oriented racquet that's not too hard to play,
with a modern game, with power and top spin, or semi-powerful game style with slice and flat shots,
who are looking for a racquet with a 645 head size, for comfort, forgiveness, access to topspin and which is not too powerful (this is one of the most control oriented tennis racquet with a 645 head size),
who are looking for a good power/control compromise,
looking for a correct access to top spin
looking for a racket with more balance on the handle side for a good maneuverability,
who are looking for a racket with a very good level of comfort.

After mentioning that Swift’s Eras Tour was currently taking place at London’s Wembley Stadium, Grohl said on stage , “I tell you, man, you don’t want to suffer the wrath of Taylor Swift.”

He continued: “So we like to call our tour the ‘Errors Tour.’ We’ve had more than a few eras, and more than a few fucking errors as well. Just a couple.”

Taylor Swift's Boyfriend Travis Kelce Makes Surprise Appearance On Stage During Eras Tour Stop In London

Entertainment Editor

Taylor Swift had a big surprise in store on the last of three consecutive performances at Wembley Stadium on Sunday night.

Over the weekend, the chart-topping singer finally brought her long-running Eras tour to London for three shows, with five more scheduled for later in the summer.

It’s fair to say that Taylor’s shows were pretty star-studded, with everyone from Tom Cruise , Sir Paul McCartney , Cate Blanchett , Hugh Grant , Zawe Ashton and Prince William to her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his family being spotted in the crowd.

But Travis didn’t leave it at just watching the show in London. On the final night of the weekend he also joined the Grammy winner on stage – although not everyone will have realised it was him.

A very dapper Travis put in an impromptu appearance at the Eras tour

As you’re probably already aware, Taylor’s tour is divided into different sections, each centred around one of her albums.

Towards the end of the show, the I Knew You Were Trouble singer dedicates a portion of the show to her latest release The Tortured Poets Department .

Before going into a performance of fan-favourite I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, she pantomimes sleep-walking while two of her male dancers change her outfit.

Sunday’s show featured three men on stage, though, with Travis also donning a top hat and tails and joining in the skit (perhaps he’s getting some practise in before his big acting debut later this year ).

After Friday night’s show, Taylor and Travis also posted a backstage selfie with Prince William and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, after the future monarch chose to spend his birthday at the Eras tour.

“Happy Bday M8!” she wrote alongside the photo, adding that her “London shows are off to a splendid start”.

Travis, Jason Kelce Talk About The 'Most Electric' Part Of Meeting Prince William And His Kids

Senior Reporter, HuffPost

Football players Travis and Jason Kelce gave listeners a royal rundown of their meeting with Prince William last week, and it sounds like the encounter went well, to say the least.

The two Super Bowl champs met William and two of his children ― Prince George and Princess Charlotte ― backstage while they were attending a London stop of Taylor Swift ’s Eras Tour over the weekend.

“We don’t even know if we’re allowed to tell you guys,” Travis Kelce said of the encounter on the most recent episode of the brothers’ podcast , “New Heights,” released Wednesday.

Jason Kelce shared that the two had “gotten mixed messages on whether we’re allowed to share this story or not.”

Despite their hesitation, the brothers forged ahead and said that the three royals were “an absolute delight to meet.”

“Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to, like, bow to them, curtsey ― just be an American idiot and shake their hand,” Travis Kelce said. “We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the pond.”

“They specified that ... because we weren’t like at, like, an official royal event, we didn’t need to bow or curtsey,” Jason Kelce explained. “But I did still address him as ‘Your Royal Highness.’”

“I’ve never felt emasculated, and I did,” he said with a laugh. “That was the closest I’ve ever been.”

His younger brother then quipped that he’d “never seen [Jason] give someone that much respect. You put your beer, like, 10 feet away from you.”

“They were wonderful people, and that’s what it’s about. Obviously, literally part of a monarchy ― royalty,” the former Philadelphia Eagles player replied. “Hard to be a down-to-earth human being, I would assume, but came off that way completely.”

View this post on Instagram A post shared by New Heights (@newheightshow)

Travis Kelce seemed taken with the Prince of Wales, dubbing him “the coolest motherfucker.”

Jason Kelce, meanwhile, said he was particularly impressed with Princess Charlotte.

“I gotta say, Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte. Prince George was great, too. She was so fucking adorable,” he added, as his brother called her a “superstar.”

“I don’t know, maybe it’s ’cause I have three girls now,” the former Eagles player continued. “She had a fire to her, she was asking questions... that was the most electric part [of the meeting].”

Jason Kelce did mention during the latest podcast episode that he was quoted as essentially saying “fuck royalty” prior to his meeting with the Wales family.

“I’m out on honoring kings,” he said during an episode of “New Heights” released earlier this week, while his younger brother attempted to cut him off. “Listen, we’re Americans. We don’t do royalty.”

“Fuck kings,” he added.

It seems that the elder Kelce brother’s initial thoughts didn’t affect the encounter, as both Taylor Swift and Prince William posted selfies from the meeting on social media.

Swift also got a warm welcome from the royals after touching down in London town. The royal guard performed Swift’s hit song “Shake It Off” at the Changing of the Guard last week in front of Buckingham Palace.

Prince William's Viral Dance Moves at Taylor Swift's Concert Are Drawing Comparisons to Son Prince Louis

Either Prince Louis inherited his dad's grooves, or the Prince of Wales picked up some moves from his youngest child

Stephanie Petit is a Royals Editor, Writer and Reporter at PEOPLE.

Prince Louis may have inherited his dad Prince William 's dance moves!

The Prince of Wales attended Taylor Swift 's concert in London on June 21 with his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte , doubling as his 42nd birthday outing . During the song "Shake It Off," a fan-captured video showed William letting loose as he bopped to the beat with his arms outstretched.

Fans quickly drew comparisons to Prince Louis' dance moves from Queen Elizabeth 's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022, marking her historic 70-year reign. A video shared on social media compared the two moments, cutting between Prince William dancing at the Swift concert and Prince Louis similarly shaking his hips at the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.

Prince Louis, now 6, stole the show by displaying his playful personality at the Platinum Jubilee events, including his enthusiastic waves, animated faces and interactions with older siblings. Even Prince William and Princess Kate couldn't help but acknowledge their son's adorable behavior. The royal couple ended Platinum Jubilee celebrations by sharing a social media post that said, "We all had an incredible time, especially Louis …"

The Prince and Princess of Wales' youngest child recently displayed his dancing abilities again at Trooping the Colour on June 15, swaying his hips from side to side as he danced to the band's music — until big sister Princess Charlotte appeared to tell him to "stop."

The candid moment at the Swift concert isn't the first time Prince William has shown off his dancing skills.

He and Kate Middleton spent their final day on a 2012 tour of Southeast Asia savoring local flavors and traditions, including Polynesian-style grass skirts and floral headwear, in Tuvalu while representing Queen Elizabeth on a trip to the South Pacific. The couple joined in with the dancing at the Vaiku Falekaupule ceremony, with Prince William swaying as he tried to copy the dancers' hand movements.

The Prince and Princess of Wales hit the dance floor again during their 2022 visit to Belize , dancing the local "punta" as they immersed themselves in Garifuna culture.

Laura Cacho, who helped host the visit, told PEOPLE at the time, "They are an amazing couple and we would love them to come any time with their children Charlotte, George and Louis. They really know how to dance. They took the culture from me, and I didn't need to teach them. They're so good at it. They were excellent."

In addition to dance moves, Prince William has also stepped up to the microphone for some singing...with none other than Swift! In 2013, the royal was led to the stage by the pop star during a charity event at Kensington Palace, and the pair joined Jon Bon Jovi for a rendition of "Livin' on a Prayer.' "

Prince William later recalled in the Apple Fitness+'s Time to Walk series , "When I sat down to watch Jon Bon Jovi do his performance, I thought, 'That's it. My job is done. I'll get a dinner in a minute, and I might be able to have a chat to some people, and, you know, I'm off-duty a little bit now.' Little did I think what was going to happen next. I'm sat next to Taylor Swift. She's on my left. And after Jon does his first song, there's a pause and she turns to me. She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye, and says, 'Come on, William. Let's go and sing.' "

"To this day, I still do not know what came over me," the royal continued. "Honestly, even now, I'm cringing at what happened next, and I don't understand why I gave in. But, frankly, if Taylor Swift looks you in the eye, touches your arm, and says, 'Come with me…' I got up like a puppy and went, 'Yeah, okay, that seems like a great idea. I'll follow you.' "

Prince William marked his reunion with Swift with a selfie featuring Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9, taken by the pop star herself.

"Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour," a pic of the moment was captioned on Prince William's social media pages.

Swift, 34, shared a selfie on her own Instagram account , also featuring her boyfriend, Travis Kelce . (The photo is the first time she and Kelce, 34, have appeared in a social media post together .)

"Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start 🇬🇧🇺🇸🤝," the singer captioned her post.

Prince Tour Pro 100 Racquet Review

Very spin friendly
Not much plow through

New to the Prince line in 2014, the Tour Pro 100 rewards players who love ripping heavy topspin from the baseline. We found this racquet to deliver a crisper response than the EXO3 Tours and were excited to find this new racquet from Prince is not only quite flexible, but also very spin friendly. This sub 12-ounce racquet was comfortable for our team even after hours of hitting, and we consider it to be a modern player's racquet. Maneuverable from all areas of the court, the Tour Pro 100 pleased our team with a great blend of power, spin, comfort and feel. And without the EXO3 ports on this racquet, our playtesters found control in place of power. For players looking to generate some serious RPMs and MPHs from a lighter player's racquet, we recommend giving this one a go.

Groundstrokes - Score: 81

Our playtesters expected a heftier response from the Prince Tour Pro 100 . However, once they became comfortable with the specs they all found ample access to spin. In fact, they weren't sure if they had traded out their Pro version for an ESP racquet. Troy began, "I found this version of the Tour 100 light and whippy from the baseline. This Pro version felt more maneuverable than the other two versions (16x18 and 18x20), and it felt less stable during heavy exchanges from the baseline. There was a definite difference in the feel of this racquet versus the two models that have the EXO3 port system. I found this racquet to feel firm and crisp on impact while the two versions with the port system felt very plush and soft. The open string pattern allowed for easy access to spin, although I think the Tour 100 (16x18) had the best spin potential out of the three models I tested. I felt like there was a significant drop off in plow through compared with the other two versions, which had a better weight and balance for me. Overall, this racquet was easy to rally with, but I felt this version of the Tour 100 lacked the plow through and stability that I crave in a racquet."

Mark , who enjoys open string patterns on his racquets when hitting his consistent, lefty groundstrokes, offered, "From looking at the specs of I felt like I was going to have no problems swinging it, and within 15 minutes of play time (just hitting around), I did feel confident. After some 11-point groundstroke games and 10-point tiebreakers my groundstrokes were reliable for the most part. However, it did feel a bit underweighted when trying to deal with some of the playtesters' (Troy in particular) excessive pace and spin."

Michelle , who has been gravitating toward heavier, stiffer racquets, found this racquet really easy (almost too easy) to swing. She explained, "At first balls were flying on me, which was slightly surprising since this racquet doesn't have the EXO3 ports and I was expecting less power. Once I dialed into this racquet's feel I realized I needed to get used to the quickness of it and accelerate through the ball with more spin -- that's when this playtest became fun! With a 316 swingweight, it did feel whippy at times, and it was easy to launch the ball. This racquet doesn't have the typical feel I am used to hitting, but it did offer me lots of spin. It also had a softer and more comfortable response compared with some of the stiffer racquets I am used to swinging."

This proved to be a very spin-friendly racquet from the baseline for Chris , who was amazed by how much topspin he could get on both his forehands and backhands with this racquet. "I was getting as much spin with the Tour Pro 100 as I did with the ESP version of the Tour 98. With the spin came easy access to pace. Combined with the spin, hitting a fast ball allowed me to push my opponents off the baseline. I also found good access to slice and was able to drive the ball low or get it to stop quickly with some reverse spin on a drop shot. The one downside for me from the baseline was consistency. My aim was a tad erratic with this racquet. It was all too easy to hit the ball long or pull it wide. I think the lively response was a little too lively at times."

Volleys - Score: 81

The quickness of the Prince Tour Pro 100 continued to help our playtesters at net. Chris said, "I found it very easy to maneuver and to punch through the ball. Again, I was able to add spin to my shots at will. When punching volleys deep I could add some slice to help the ball skid low. I also liked cutting around the outside edge of the ball with this racquet to help it curve away from my opponent. I found it easy to control the lively response at net, thanks to the more compact swing of the volley."

It was easy for Troy to get the Prince Tour Pro 100 to the ball due to its maneuverable feel, and he found it easy to serve and volley when playing doubles. He said, "The crisp feel of this racquet gave me a good connection with the ball. The response allowed me to control the ball well and gave me confidence on my drop volleys. The one knock I had at net was that it was slightly unstable compared with its two slightly heavier brothers."

Michelle continued singing the maneuverability song and agreed that the Prince Tour Pro 100 was easy to volley with. However, she again found it too easy at times, saying, "I found this racquet to almost feel toy-like at times, so I caught myself doing too much with my volleys. However, it was easy to get the Tour Pro 100 in position to punch volleys deep or to hit some touch and angle volleys."

Volleying with the Prince Tour Pro 100 was Mark's favorite part of the playtest. The low 11 ounce static weight made it easy for him to maneuver it. He explained, "Although its swingweight is under 310, stability was far better than I expected (pretty darn stable). From half volleys to backhand volleys on the stretch, I had good control of the net with the Tour Pro 100."

Serves - Score: 78

Our team continued to find great spin from the Tour Pro 100 when serving. While precision and power were also significant, our playtesters were missing some weight in the racquet when bombing bigger first serves. Troy found easy pop and spin, saying, "I could get a lot movement on spin serves due to the open string pattern. The placement of my first serves was dialed in, although I would have liked a bit more heft to get the flat serves to come in with a bit more weight behind them. I was able to mix up serves well with this racquet, and I could hit the corners of the service box consistently. I found the Tour Pro 100 to be a happy medium between the 16x18 and 18x20."

The Tour Pro 100 was very predictable and comfortable for Mark when serving. He said, "The more I served with it, the more aggressive I could get. By the end of the playtest I was hitting quite a few unreturnable serves."

Michelle felt this racquet was whippy and fast through the air, which isn't her preferred feel, and she found herself craving a little more mass. She said, "I wanted more from this racquet when serving, but I found this racquet worked best on second serves for me. I enjoyed the great access to spin, slice and placement, but I didn't have the ability to bomb flat serves."

Chris served well with this racquet, and getting pace was easy for him as the ball really jumped off the stringbed. He said, "My slice serves had some good action on them, and I was able to hit several aces when going wide on the deuce side. I was also getting some nice spin on topspin serves. While I don't hit a huge kick serve, the spin I was getting allowed me to stay on the gas and still get the ball to drop inside the box."

Serve Returns - Score: 76

Despite the low 11 ounce static weight of the Tour Pro 100 , Mark found enough stability to return big serves. He said, "I felt pretty sneaky with this racquet on the return, and I was able to effectively chip and charge off the serve, along with hitting an occasional topspin return off both wings."

"When everything came together I was hitting some big returns with this racquet," offered Chris . "I could find tons of pace and spin on my returns. The racquet always felt fast and easy to get in position before driving it through the ball. Again, I struggled a little with consistency, which was a shame because that had me playing it safe even though the racquet felt so good when swung aggressively."

Troy liked the maneuverability when facing big serves and found he could flick the racquet easily when he was pulled off the court and was at full stretch. He said, "I wasn't getting the easy depth and plow through that I had with the 16x18 and the 18x20, but I could take big cuts at the ball with good control. The whippy feel made it easy to get my racquet on returns, which was helping me in doubles. I was getting consistent results on the return; unfortunately the returns weren't pushing my opponent back the way I would have liked. Anytime I didn't get a full cut at the ball my return would fall short, allowing my opponent to be aggressive on the next ball and put me on defense early in the point."

Michelle still didn't feel connected to this racquet. She said, "Despite the fast feel and my ability to get the racquet in place for returns, I felt this racquet lacked stability when returning. When I was returning against anyone with a decent first serve I just couldn't get a hold of the ball to rip it. It became quite frustrating for me because I try to hit offensive returns."

Overall - Score: 80

Mark - "I expected the Tour Pro 100 to be a 'hot rod' in terms of maneuverability and ease of swing. From first contact I was rewarded with exactly what I expected. With its flexible beam, this racquet provided me with a favorable all-court response. I really played well with the prior EXO3 Tour 100s, but with the traditional grommets and the way Prince has configured the graphite on this gem, you get a lot of racquet in a slightly lighter package."

Chris - "I liked the spin, fast feel, easy pace and crisp response of this racquet."

Troy - "It's light and fast, with easy access to topspin."

Michelle - "This is a fun racquet to grab and go whip some spin with. It's easy to swing fast and generate some serious racquet head speed."

Mark - "I did have the Tour Pro 100 paired with a full set of the low tensioned poly, and if I were to keep this frame I might add some weight to it (not much) and apply a more lively string configuration. I suppose that is more of a personal preference than a knock on the racquet."

Chris - "The lively response made the Tour Pro 100 a tad erratic for me."

Troy - "It didn't have the plow through and stability I crave in my racquets. Although it's not much lighter than the 16x18 and 18x20, I felt a big drop off in stability. It was easy to swing, and with some added weight it may play quite nice, but in stock form it was just very average from all areas of the court."

Michelle - "I wish it were a bit heavier, with more stability. When I pick up a racquet that is labeled as a 'Pro' or 'Tour' racquet, I expect it to have more mass behind it."

Comparing it to other racquets they've used, our testers said:

Mark - "The low 11 ounce strung weight range for a tennis racquet is one of the more competitive and diverse categories these days. Due to the low stiffness, I have to go with the Head Graphene Radical/Speed MP as a comparison, and although the test frame had an RA of 58, I feel like the beam plays firmer than the number indicates. This results in my comparison of the Prince Tour Pro 100 to the Yonex Ai 100 (higher swingweight), the Dunlop Biomimetic M3.0 and the Head Graphene Instinct MP (beam is a bit stiffer)."

Chris - "I would consider the Tour Pro 100 to be close to the Tour 98 ESP in levels of maneuverability and spin. However, this one is way more forgiving in terms of finding pace when contact is a little off center. There aren't many racquets that get close to this one in terms of feel, spin and playability."

Troy - "This version of the Tour 100 fits in between the Tour 100 (16x18) and the Head Graphene Speed MP."

Michelle - "The Tour Pro 100 feels unique to me. It's fast and maneuverable, like an AeroPro Drive, with a much more comfortable response and lighter (less stable) feel."

Prince Phantom Pro 100 vs Phantom 100X 305

Thread starter Humble_Bear
Start date Jun 18, 2020

Humble_Bear

Jun 18, 2020

I am thinking about getting one of the two but not sure which one. I am 57, intermediate level who still hits the ball very hard and wanted an arm friendly racket to enjoy the game and prevent potential injuries. Anyone owns (or owned) both rackets listed above and can share the pros & cons & differences. What string & tension would you string your racket at? Thanks!

Hall of Fame

Both are very good racquets and I have owned both. The 100x 305 is the better all around racquet due to better stability, power and control. Both are very arm friendly frames for a player who has arm problems or wants a flexible frame that will not hurt your arm. I only play with synthetic strings these days due to are issues. I used Gosen Micro 16 at 52lbs and the 100x 305 played well. Since you are intermediate player the weight should be enough for you with either frame and there will not be a need to add weight unless you have done that in the past with your other racquets. The only reason I no longer play with the 100x 305 as it didn't take adding weight well. In stock form there was not enough stability for me. I am a 4.0-4.5 player for your reference. Don't get me wrong, the 100x 305 is clearly the much better version. Should be a good fit for a 3.0-3.5 player as it was very user friendly.

Tennis347, thanks for your reply. Compare the 2 in power, control, spin, comfort, feel & size of sweetspot?

I haven't tried the Phantom Pro, but I can confidently endorse the 100x 305. It does pretty much anything well, and can be easily customized to fit most needs. The only players who wouldn't like this racquet are those that actually love stiff powerful racquets like PD. To echo tennis347, I am often surprised by the stability especially when I return heavy serves with my 1hbh. I am still experimenting with strings myself. What I can say is regardless of what string I put on it, I can always still feel the plush stable characteristics shining through. The racquet is still comfortable with stiff poly, and still maintains good control with powerful multi. My only gripe is I received mine underspec at only 315g strung, so maybe pay for matching service if you are getting multiple.

Humble_Bear said: So you didn't quite like the feel of the 100x305? How does the feel compare to the Wilson Blade v7? I am very intrigued by the thinner beam of the Prince Phantom Pro 100, more like the classic design of what I grew up with which is hard to find these days but it doesn't play as well? Click to expand...

Anyone tried the Phantom 100P? Prince drops "Pro" from the name and adds Twaron in the hoop and shaft of the racquet. The RA went up from 54 to 59.

I also played with the original PP 100P. It has a crisper feel than the PP 100 Pro. The PP 100P is also good racquet but was jarring to my shoulder on off center hits. The SW is alot higher which does give you more plow and stability. You really need to demo these racquets to get better idea. I have purchased racquets solely on reviews only to be disappointed. There are so many factors surrounding racquet reviews. I have tried numerous racquets over the last number of years. As far as player's racquets go, Wilson has really hit their mark with the new Blade line. If you want an easy racquet to play with that is arm friendly go for the Wilson Clash 100. A thin beam is going to make you work hard if you are just an intermediate player and tire you out quick. Just my 2 cents.

I own both. Currently more partial to the Phantom Pro 100. I added about 3 grams at 10 and 2 to help with stability which is key. The phantom pro has in my opinion more of the classic prince feel and with the added weight gives enough stability to hit at decent level. The racquet seems to work best with a hybrid set up or multi strings for added power. The100X is still a bit of a mystery to me. On paper outside of beam is similar to the phantom pro, however when adding my normal weight at 10 and 2 it loses some feeing and in my opinion can become a rocket launcher give the launch angle and added weight. The beam is thicker in head which can take some getting used to coming from the phantom pro. Both serve well but I served better in stock with the 100x. If you are able to handle the swing weight try the 100P as well. I demoned the new one and own the older black and green one and when you’re on and handling the weight the racquet truly is a plow machine. Could counter a little with weight in handle to balance it more head light as well (leather grip). Don’t be afraid the demo as others said. The phantom pro 100 is still my favorite with the added weight and poly main / multi cross set up in low 50 lb range. Happy to answer any other questions you may have.

tennis347 said: I agree with you that 100x 305 is a really good all around racquet. It was a little light for me in stock form and did not take well adding weight. Hard hit balls near the upper hoop sometimes caused the frame to flutter a bit. I am used to a bit heftier frame that flexes more in the upper portion of the hoop like the Wilson Blade v7 98 16 x 19. But don't get me wrong, the 100x 305 is definitely a huge improvement over the Pro version. IMO the 100x 305 was very comfortable but the feel was a little crisp. I like plusher feeling racquets.

I jus picked up 100X 305 recently and I extended it 1/4 inch in length. Feels great, solves the underpoweredness of the racquet. I also use VCP100 and 2020 ezone98 and they all feel great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you Trinity110 for a nice review. Which one has bigger sweetspot? Stability? Control? Comfort? I ordered a demo for the Pro 100, 100x305 and the new 100P. I am hoping to like the thinner beam ones because they remind me more of the rackets that I grew up with.

Jul 4, 2020

Boy, those are tough questions, because those are three traits I give high marks to both! My volleying is much improved by both, but I probably give a stability edge to the 100P. Control as well. Comfort is a tie, due to the sweetspot in both being generous. Early on, I had trouble finding the sweetspot with the 100X, whereas it was instantaneous with the 100P. I can't say why, because I am right on with both now. I don't get all carried away about spin, but the 100X definitely is better at it, since I am using more racquet head speed, and hand in hand with that is a bit more whip, keeping the ball in. And that "spinability" is what adds to the kick serve. Little higher launch angle with the 100X, IMO. Just went out and served for 2.5 hours (my hitting partner did a family thing today) and I absolutely can't say which one is better. I will say that when a little fatigue sets in (2.5 hours is 2.5 hours) the 100X 305 keeps flipping right through the ball. And makes a sound like I know what I'm doing!!

tennis347 said: I didn't care for the feel with 100x 305 but that's not to say that it is not a good racquet. The 100x 305 may be a little tension sensitive. The Blade v7 98 16 x 19 has a much better feel IMO. It plays more plush and the ball pocketing is better IMO. The Prince Phantom Pro is also a good frame but the stability was terrible on off center hits as the racquet fluttered quite of bit. The control is not as good at the 100x 305. Balls hit in the sweetspot felt good. IMO Prince went a little over board with the 54 RA on the Phantom Pro which causes stability problems. The Blade v7 98 16x19 has more power than the 100x 305 and the Phantom Pro but you need better better footwork and need to be more precise on your strokes. IMO the Blade v7 98 is geared towards a player who is 4.0 or above due to heftier Swingweight. If your strokes are established, the Blade v7 98 16 x 19 is a better alternative IMO. Click to expand...

I own a Phantom Pro 100 with a little lead on the hoop, and I had a chance to demo the 100X in comparison. The 100X was a bit easier to swing and stiffer feeling, but I preferred the softer feel of the Pro 100. With the lead in place, the Pro 100 had about equal power and stability.

Feb 4, 2021

aussie said: The secret I find with the Phantom Pro 100 is to string at the low end of the tension range. Mine is strung with Gosen OGSM 17 mains @ 46 and MSV CoFocus 17 crosses @ 42. This really enlarges the sweetspot which assists with eliminating the fluttering and also gives a power boost which is especially helpful on serves. Comfort, already superb, is further enhanced if that is possible. I'll probably string a touch tighter next time to get a little more crispness. While I can get either the Pro 100 or the 100X 305 for not much difference in price, what sold the Pro 100 to me was the superb aesthetics. The green printing on matt black on a rapier thin beam is simply spectacular!! Click to expand...

Prince Textreme Tour 100P Racket Review
The 100P brings a slight reduction in weight from the Tour 100 from 310g to 305g, but one of the big differences between the two rackets is the string pattern. The Tour 100P sees a switch to a much denser 18 x 20 string pattern, which should limit the spin potential of this racket slightly but add even more control.
