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
Wilson Ultra 100, Burn 100
Head Speed MP, Instinct MP, Extreme MP
Tecnifibre TF-X1
Prince RipStick 100, Hydrogen 100
Yonex VCore 100

Similar racquets:

Babolat Pure Strike 100
Yonex VCore Pro 100
Volkl V-Feel V8 Pro
Head Prestige MP, MP L, Speed Pro
Wilson Blade 98S

Less powerful racquets:

Babolat Pure Strike VS
Babolat Pure Strike 18x20
Head Prestige Pro, Tour
Head Gravity Tour
Tecnifibre TF40 305 18x20
Wilson Blade 98 16x19, 18x20
Wilson Pro Staff
Prince Phantom 100X

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.

Prince Textreme Tour 100 – Review

Prince has put together one of the best lines of racquets over the years that cover just about any type of player.

As part of the Textreme Tour line, the Prince Textreme Tour 100 is focused on providing a solid option for the modern player. It markets itself as a racquet with controllable power and a lot of spin opportunity, but how does it stack up when playing with it consistently?

This is a closer look at how the Prince Textreme Tour 100 plays on the court. It does a lot of things well, but is it the right choice for certain players?

Before going into the review, here are our overall ratings after 100+ hours of testing on court.

Groundstrokes

People instantly fall in love with the Prince Textreme Tour 100 when they start hitting groundstrokes with the racquet . The beauty of this racquet is that there is easier access to depth on shots and stability when hitting from all angles.

With a lot of racquets, in order to get that level of help, control and touch takes a hit. That is not the case with this racquet at all, as control is still going to be there for the most part.

No one wants to feel like they are getting pushed around on the court, and hitting groundstrokes with this is very easy. It starts with a 16×18 string pattern, which is good for people who like open string patterns overall. This helps with all types of groundstrokes and provides a little more power than more control-oriented options.

The head has a great, massive sweet spot that is very forgiving for players who might not always hit the perfect shot every time. Players can be a little less precise off the ground, while still putting the ball where they need it to be.

Aggressive baseliners will probably benefit most from this racquet, as it allows for some pretty good cuts at the ball. Spin is easy to develop, and topspin balls dip at just the right time. It is very easy to move to this racquet from something else without putting in a ton of effort. It is essential to try this out for more than just hitting groundstrokes, but it is a tremendous first selling point for a lot of shoppers.

As one might expect with great groundstrokes, returning is pretty positive overall as well . There is a ton of controllable power, easy access to spin, and a good amount of stability when hitting against all types of servers.

Players who are at an advanced level will love how they can block the ball back with some control, or take full cuts at the ball if they are able to.

The racquet is very easy to maneuver around and hit shots in the right position. Players can be in just about any place on the court when they are making returns, and still feel like they are getting a pretty clean return.

Overall, the best way to describe the racquet on returns is solid. It will hold up against any type of player, and those still learning the game will get some added conference. Players who excel with the return already might be able to get just a little bit more value with this racquet compared to some of the others out there.

A blend between maneuverability and stability makes the Prince Textreme Tour 100 a solid volleying racquet overall. It is easy to get in position for volleys, and it will hold up against the biggest hitters out there. All this means is more confidence when at the net, either in singles or playing doubles.

Officially, the swingweight of the racquet comes in at 327. This is great news for those wanting to redirect certain volleys, and it allows players to showcase their touch quite a bit as well.

There are a few drawbacks for those used to a different type of racquet. The dampening technology makes the feel of a volley a little bit different, and the open string pattern as well as the beam’s thickness makes it not as simple to hit powerful volleys like it would with others.

That said, it still should be very sufficient for those who have played with similar racquets in the past. The learning curve is pretty small, and once a player gets the timing down a bit, they are good to go.

This is a great overall racquet, so saying that serves is the weakest part is not doing it too much justice . Players will still be able to access an easy amount of power and controlled spin with the serve, just as they can with all the shots.

Is it the best serving racquet out on the market today? Most likely not, but it does not mean that a player would ever feel like they are at a disadvantage.

One of the biggest complaints that tennis players have with most all-around racquets is that they can’t create that same amount of depth on their serves. Instead, serves tend to sit a little too much, and it starts to mess up the rest of the game. That is not the case at all with this racquet, as a blend of power and control makes it great for first and second serves.

Players who already have a consistent serve will not find this to be a letdown by any means. Those who are looking for a boost probably will not get that either.

The best way to look at it is an above-average option that will fit most players and the way they play just fine. Do not expect it to be life-changing on the serve, but it will never hold a player behind.

Racquet Specs

Final thoughts & recommendations.

There is certainly lots of love from Prince with this Textreme Tour 100. Power, spin, and control are all major parts of the modern game. It is a tremendous all-around racquet, with no glaring weaknesses whatsoever. Having a massive sweet spot to work with means the players do not need to be particularly precise in order to still hang in against quality players.

There is a reason why it’s used by many pro players on both the ATP and WTA Tour . Here are the top ranked players that currently plays with the Prince Textreme Tour 100:

Iga Swiatek
Lucas Pouille

The only real polarizing thing about this racquet is the dampening system. Some feel like Prince went too far with the dampening, and that hurts feel in some ways. Others really love how it is so soft and buttery, so it all really comes down to personal preference.

Comparisons to the likes of the Babolat Pure Strike , the Head Graphene Radical , and Wilson Ultra Tour are all very apparent. Players should have this on the shortlist when demoing different racquets and seeing what is out there. For one reason or another, some people do not give Prince racquets a try, but they are every bit as good as the top brands that are trending in today’s game.

A short learning curve should make this a popular option once a person actually hits with it. The good news is that as time goes on, it gets easier and easier to play with it consistently and really untap the full potential of the racquet. Prince has a very strong and competitive performance racquet with this one. Players can grow their game with the racquet, or take it to another level with consistency.

johnmccabe said: I bought a new ATS 100P the first day it came out. Agree with your comments on the positives. I also felt it's "harder" to swing compared to 2019 version. Since there were no other reviews out there reporting similar observations, I thought I got one off spec, maybe with higher swing weight. So I've Been modifying bumper guard area to make it swing similar to my 2019. Here is what I end up with so far where I can switch between these two racquets during a set without feeling much difference in manuverability. https://imgur.com/f9crIvy

Not on the official playtest but couldn’t resist getting the tour 98 after the rave reviews. I used to play with the 1st gen textreme tour 95 and liked that one so I imagined I would like the feel of this too. It is a great racket but definitely different feel that that tour 95, more forgiving and easier power on this. Just a quick background on my playing style and current equipment: I use the blade pro 16x19 strung at 55 lbs usually with a round poly (yonex poly tour, 4g etc). Playing style wise I am aggressive baseliner, one handed backhand, usta 4.5. Coming to this racket’s performance. Has a very comfortable feel when the ball hits middle. On flat shot ball kinda like sinks in and then shoots off. On the forehand I get heavy spin (I did string it lower than my typical tension at 52 lbs with hyper g). On one handed backhand I felt the even balance and slightly thick beam made it hard finding my natural swing in the beginning. I have a little wrist flick on my backhand at contact and it wasn’t happening smoothly with this racket. But with some hours on it I think I get it back. I kinda need to have better preparation and distance from the ball, lazy swing don’t work and the ball flies/launches. The biggest selling point of this racket IMO is how solid it is. At least for me, it just doesn’t back off against big shots and has a nice sound at contact. It’s more solid than blade pro (at least for me) which is saying something, and is on same level at RF97 (minus the 350+ gms weight). Slices are good too. Big on kick serves. Above average on flat serve. I might try tail weighting it just a little bit for my one hand backhand. I don’t think it needs any lead in the hoop. Overall a solid offering from prince and something which people should try who like a modern mid plus racket.

I am currently using Dunlop CX 200 Tour 16x19 with 4grams of lead at 10 and 2. I also have a one handed backhand. Would ATS 98 be too light for me and suit my backhand style?

ATS 98 is only 3 grams lighter than the CX Tour 200 16x19. I added 10 grams to mine with some bluetack in the trap door and it is great for my 1HBH. I didn't need to add weight to 3 and 9 as my ATS 98 feels stable enough due to the ATS tech. I tried the Dunlop Srixon CX 200 Tour 18x20 for 2 months but couldn't gel with it as I found it too unstable and would flutter, especially near 10 and 2. ATS 98 has the stability, power and and comfort I was hoping for so demo it if you can.

Which string would you choose among/between Prince Vortex, Solinco Confidential and Lynx Tour for the ATS98? Which one would you suggest for this specific racket (full bed set up)? Which one suits better? Any other string recommendations?

Trip said: Jonas (TennisNerd) has an updated take on the Tours, now including the 95, 100-290 and 100P. Key takeaways: - His overall preference: 98 > 100P > 100-290 > 100-310 = 95 - 95, 98 and 100 (310) have slightly high swing weights; 100 (290) and 100P (surprisingly) lower, so a bit more user-friendly and customizable - 95 was OK overall, but the 98 equaled it at everything, and then some - 100P the winner for most (intermediate and up), including club players, better balance and weight distribution than the 100-310 - For the 100 this time around, the 290 is actually a better fit for most players than the 310; better platform racquet as well TL;DR - As I knew everyone and their brother would be clamoring for the 98, I was initially most interested in the 100P (indicated in the poll), although I requested a 100-290, thinking I'd like to get the opinion of some of my more intermediate-level friends I play with weekly (unfortunately not accepted for this playtest, though). Anyways, seems like nice update, albeit the more universal of the bunch seem to be the 98, 100-290 and 100P. Interesting stuff. Click to expand...

JonathanRF said: I just playtested the 100 290. I would agree with the above if it were on spec. Mine was 294g unstrung, 316.5 strung and swing weight of 327 kgcm2 (including overgrip). Used Prince Diablo 1.25mm. So if you bought it on the basis of wanting a sub 320 swing weight racket you'd be disappointed to get this one as the specs were off. It played nicely though and was very stable, good connected feel and nice acoustics on impact. I imagine quite a few people would customise the 290 to the sort of spec I received out of the box.

I just got both a Tour 98 and a Tour 100 310, and the weight was incredibly on spec for both (305.4g on the 98 and 310.8g on the 100). The SW was a bit high on both (compared to th prince listed unstrung SW (296,45 for the 98 and 295.05 for the 310). Fortunately my preference is around 325 SW strung, so these should both be really close (also trying out Vortex Triad string, which is 17g main with 18g cross, so I'm expecting about 28.5 additional points os SW strung). So far, pretty impressed.

I found it really interesting that the ATS 98 is no wider in the head than the ATS 95, meaning that there is virtually no increase in spin window whatsoever; the extra three inches are all down in the throat of the 98, resulting in an increase in trampoline effect. As the ATS 95 already has virtually the same length mains as, for example, a Yonex Vcore 98 I didn't see any real benefit of the 98 over the 95 and I didn't enjoy the relative lack of control resulting from the 98's abnormally long mains. The ATS 95 is the perfect update to the Gen.1 95; the ATS at 10 and 2 o'clock has fixed the hoop flutter of the original and has added stability and power with virtually none of the harshness which plagued Gen. 2.

@jmacdaununder2 - Interesting assessment of the 95 vs the 98. I find that, more often than not, when moving up head size, especially across the same model series, the primary difference in face area occurs in a "crescent" shape, from 3 and 9 down to 6 o'clock. While it does result in a bit more trampoline in certain models, other 98's and 100's with more mains/crosses and/or a more full-coverage drill pattern can actually keep trampoline effect similar, while giving you that added area in towards your body to help when you get jammed, etc. Case in point: the Tour 100P, which does all of that while also offering more consistent feel across more of the string bed, including a larger sweet spot. But it all comes down to taste; the 95 with its more concentrated sweet spot will let you know exactly where/how you've hit the ball, whereas even the 100P may feel a bit more vague in comparison. Still, both are excellent frames.

My ATS 290 swing weight also feels higher than listed specs... but is a good thing imo with the lighter racket.. swings easy but packs a punch... just got to get use to the higher launch angle...

tele said: I have had a few princes and did not notice a significant change in size. A TT Warrior 100 I briefly used had a more pronounced butt cap flare IIRC, but the G3 on the ATS 95 I have did not feel "big". I don't have an ATS 98, but I did play with a DR98 for a few years. Compared to my ATS 95, I feel like the DR 98's throat flex was a bit more noticeable on contact even though it had a higher RA on paper. DR98 wins for me on serves and punching volleys deep, but I prefer the 95 overall. DR98 has a more of a "hollow" feel on contact. Click to expand...

Zibenator said: Thank You Tele for Your thoughts. I did not try ATS 95, but I know that 320 g of static weight would be too much for me. I played great tennis for couple of years before DR98 with the Wilson Pro Staff 97 315 g (red/black with some silver pearl kind of smudges). Great racquet, but found it too much of a racquet some day - the same day when I fell in love with DR98 Static played points from the baseline would be ok with ATS95, but not so with the wide/stretchy defence ones probably.

Demoed Prince ATS 98. I currently play with a slightly underweight (~ 310g unstrung) Gravity Pro. The prince was a HUGE letdown. I have used various Prince rackets before so I was positively biased. The thing felt clunky and with a very high launch angle. My shots lacked weight, the serve was underpowered, and the slice was Meh. Couldn't flatten the shots, and the high arching shots did not have much spin. This might be due to the fact that the gravity is mighty stable and has SW~335. But still, this racket was just bad. It might have been the multi strings, but the gravity also has multi. If I have to buy an arm-frindly 16x19, the blade seems better.

3.75 said: Agreed. I guess I like oranges. But here is the deal: I did play with the Prince Phantom 100 18x20 for a year. That thing had laser flat shots and slices but is very underpowered and demanding. The gravity pro is not that demanding and not that under-powered so it is roughly comparable to the Prince Tours. To be specific, and to compare apples to apples, both the Gravity Pro and ATS 98 have a score of 81 on power in the TW reviews. Then again, the ATS 98 had an out-of-this world review, and it is quite pedestrian IMHO. Click to expand...

Slicehand said: The blade is more underpowered than the prince, not being able to flaten the shots is not about the racquet, besides the gravity is more underpowered, thats why it might benefit from multi unlike the prince, also diferent pattern, i dont think its a bad racquet, but you must play some time with it to get used to it, spin and flat shots are about technique, if you change raquets you must adjust your swing Click to expand...

3.75 said: I agree that flat and spin is mostly technique. And you can always improve your technique (which is the magic of tennis). And I did not give the 98 a fair trial as I dismissed it after 20 minutes and 100 hits. I am writing my (unfair) review so that people thinking of demoing it or buying sight unseen have one more data point. If you want a stable, control-oriented, solid plow-through racket that does not have a very high launch angle, the ATS 98 is probably not your choice. Click to expand...

I'm seriously considering switching to the ATS 98. It has better feel and more control than the Dunlop SX 300 Tours (gen 2, 98") that I have been using for the past season, and doesn't give up that much power and spin. It seems a lot like the 2nd gen Pure Strike 98 16x19 that I really liked, minus the elbow-murdering shock that forced me to dump the Babolat.

Aug 26, 2022

I bought one (98) bc a demo isn't really a demo if you hit with a string and a grip size that doesn't fit your personal specs. I found it very stable, very solid in ALL areas. I can't decide my favorite shot with this - it volleys SO well too. Serves were fantastic. It does feel like a plusher/more solid version of the PO7 (2nd gen pure strike?) - which I loved and played with for a couple years. My first string setup was 4G at 45lbs. Good feel, plush. Looking for string recs from other's experiences. For me, I'll next try ALU 1.25 (solid ref point). Have Tour Bite 16 and Hyper G 16 lined up after.

Aug 29, 2022

Anyone else experimented with weight on the new tour 95? Something was a little awkward about how it came around. I experimented a little and 5g at the top of the throat really did the trick for me. Feels super smooth now.

I got ATS 98 with 299 unstrung SW, now strung with head lynx 16, total SW now could be close to 330, however the racquet has high launch angle, maneuverability is not good, is this due to high SW or is the string so heavy ? Advices are much appreciated to make this racquet work. Thanks !

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.

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.

Full Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100 290 Review

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.

Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) Racket Review

One of our top 10 rackets under 300g, the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) is an excellent racket for intermediates looking to play some aggressive strokes and hit a heavy ball.

At 290g unstrung, this racket has the maneuverability that an intermediate player needs, but it also has enough mass to get you playing some very good tennis.

We’ve been big fans of the Prince Textreme Tour 100 rackets for a while now and really connected with the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310).

The 310 version offered a great blend of modern maneuverability and classic control that we loved and at 310g is another great option for slightly stronger intermediate players and more advanced players.

Custom Fittings

Discover your perfect racket and string combo!

We got our hands on the 290 version a few months ago for a quick hit and liked what we saw, which prompted us to rank this racket at number 7 on our top rackets under 300g list .

After our successful first session with the Tour 100 (290), we decided it was time to get it back for a full playtest and a thorough review.

The one thing we particularly liked about this racket in our initial playtest was how the open string pattern allowed intermediate players to generate some serious spin.

However, the Textreme Tour 100 (290) did this without sacrificing control.

Too often with light rackets, you get spin or control, but this stick was able to give us spin and control in equal measures.

While the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) comes in at a very manageable 290g unstrung, it has a serious 324 swingweight which adds a great deal of stability on contact.

The extra swingweight gives this racket some extra control, meaning this stick can compete even when the power levels go up.

This high swingweight means that the Textreme Tour is suitable for a wide range of players.

Whether you’re an adult intermediate, advanced junior player, or an advanced senior player looking for a slightly lighter racket, the Textreme Tour is an ideal option and is sure to suit a wide variety of players.

As we said, we were very impressed with this racket the first time we tried it, so we were excited to get our hands on it for a proper playtest.

Having had some experience of the racket already, we knew it had quite a bit of spin potential so we set it up with some Babolat RPM Blast at 56lbs, just to try and maximize the control aspect of this stick.

I tend to produce a lot of topspin naturally, so normally my setup will try and minimize the amount of spin a racket will give me, but different players will look for different characteristics from their strings.

If you’re looking for a little bit of help with your string setup then check out Tom’s “ Tennis String Tension Guide ” to get that perfect setup for your racket.

We’ve been talking this racket up for a while now, so here’s our in-depth review of one of our top picks under 300g, the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290)!

Groundstrokes

7 out of 10

I always find that Prince rackets feel really nice in my hands, they just seem to be very clean, no-nonsense rackets.

The same can be said of the Textreme Tour 100 (290) , which feels wonderfully balanced and very clean through the hit.

I’m someone who values maneuverability and control above everything else from my racket and the Textreme Tour 100 really hits the nail on the head in this regard.

This racket has an unusually high swingweight for a 290g racket, which means there’s plenty of stability on contact, leading to huge amounts of control for such a light racket.

This excellent control, combined with good spin potential allows players to really attack with spin and accuracy.

I found this combination suited my game perfectly and I loved getting on the front foot and moving my opponent around the court with heavy topspin shots.

For intermediate players, this racket offers excellent performance when it comes to stability, spin, and control, but perhaps its one weakness might be its maneuverability.

While it is naturally a fast racket, at 290g it couldn’t be anything else, it is not super maneuverable compared to many of its sub 300g competitors.

The reason for this is probably the 324 swingweight, which makes this racket just a little bit more difficult to swing.

While this might be a negative for some players, it is certainly a tradeoff which allows the Textreme Tour 100 to achieve such good performance.

In my opinion, this aspect lends the Textreme Tour 100 towards the slightly more advanced intermediate players whose strokes are a bit more developed.

If you’re a beginner/intermediate player, you might find this stick a little bit more difficult to play with than many other light rackets.

However, for those intermediate players who are a bit more comfortable with their strokes and looking to develop their game quickly, the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) represents a brilliant option.

Stylewise, I definitely see this racket suiting someone who loves to attack using topspin to open up the angles.

I’m a player who loves to use my forehand to hit heavy topspin shots and move my opponent side to side, and I found the Textreme Tour 100 (290) to be ideal.

I had easy access to spin, but at the same time, I felt like I had the control to put the ball exactly where I wanted it.

All in all, I was very impressed with the Prince Textreme Tour 100’s performance from the back of the court.

This stick provides a great blend of maneuverability and stability that can give intermediate players a big boost in performance.

My only warning would be to make sure you’re ready for a racket with this kind of swingweight.

I gave the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) a 7.5 out of 10 for the groundstrokes.

7.5 out of 10

The Textreme Tour 100 is undoubtedly one of the best lightweight rackets I have played with at the net.

The big challenge for rackets under 300g when it comes to volleying is stability because they lack the weight to absorb power effectively.

With its 324 swingweight though, the Textreme Tour 100 has an edge over its competitors in this area.

Again, if you’re quite new to the game, you might find this racket is a little bit more difficult to get into position than many other light rackets.

What you sacrifice in maneuverability though, you do makeup in performance.

For the majority of intermediate players, I don’t see this being an issue, but it is worth giving any racket a playtest before buying!

Personally, I got on extremely well with the Tour 100 at the net.

I’m a firm believer that weight is all-important when it comes to volleys, so the 290g Textreme Tour 100 wasn’t likely to be able to compete with heavier rackets.

However, it’s when it’s compared to similarly weighted rackets where this racket really stands out.

I was able to get into position quickly, giving me every opportunity to time the ball well, and when I did, this racket rewarded me.

The extra stability of this racket means you’re able to absorb power and place the ball back where you want it with ease.

The good levels of control the Textreme Tour 100 showed from the back of the court continued at the net and I certainly benefited from it.

It’s always a bit tricky scoring rackets for their volleying performance.

The weight makes a massive difference at the net so I couldn’t score this racket as high as many heavier rackets.

So, I’ve plumped for another 7.5 out of 10.

It might not sound like a great score, but it’s about as good as it gets for a racket under 300g.

8 out of 10

The serve is another area where the swingweight really helps the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290 ) .

It means this racket is not only fast through the swing but it has enough weight going through the ball at contact point to turn racket head speed into true power.

We all want to add a little bit of pop to our serves and the Textreme Tour 100 is certainly a sub 300g racket that can do that.

I found I was getting a good balance of power, spin, and control with this stick, but when I wanted to flatten the ball out and hit a big serve things really came together.

The nice thing about this stick though is that it doesn’t focus too much on any one characteristic.

Yes, it offers plenty of power on the serve but I didn’t find that it sacrificed on control in order to achieve this.

When it came to the second serve, I had full confidence in the Tour 100’s ability to produce spin and help me guide the ball into the court.

Performance wise, everything worked out nicely for me with this racket and I didn’t lose too many points on serve.

My first serve percentage was solid and I picked up a lot of free points, but when I needed it, my second serve was right there, giving me plenty of confidence to attack the first.

I found the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) performed brilliantly on serve, and it was deserving of its 8 out of 10 score.

This rounded off an excellent playtest, and reinforced my belief that the Textreme Tour 100 is one of the best rackets under 300g.

As you’ve probably guessed, we think the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) is an excellent racket.

It offers players looking for a racket under 300g an excellent option in the control/spin categories as well as a ton of performance.

This racket is strong from anywhere on the court, but it particularly impressed me on volleys and the serve.

For any intermediate players with designs on quickly progressing into more advanced tennis, I think this racket has the perfect level of performance.

The extra stability it has means it can handle the power of more advanced tennis, whilst still offering the maneuverability that a less experienced player needs.

If there is one slight weakness for this racket, I would say it is the maneuverability.

It’s a little less maneuverable than many other light rackets, so if you are someone who doesn’t have very developed strokes this could make life a little bit more difficult.

I don’t think this will be a problem for the majority of players though, and you can soon find out by giving this stick a playtest.

Overall, I gave the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (290) a 7.5 out of 10, which is about as good as it gets for rackets under 300g.

It gives solid performance on all shots and has a lovely blend of power, spin, and control, with a slight emphasis on spin that will really suit the aggressive baseliner.

Once again, this is another great racket from Prince and one that we love at TheTennis Bros.com.

Prince Phantom 100P Racquet Review

If it ain't broke, don't fix it — but maybe tweak it. That seems to be Prince's game plan as it updates the Phantom line. With the second-generation Phantom 100P , Prince drops "Pro" from the name and adds Twaron in the hoop and shaft of the racquet. Our tester who also reviewed the original Phantom Pro 100P thought the newer model felt crisper and more responsive in the upper hoop as a result. The soul of the racquet remained, however. Stability, feel and plow through were consistent themes throughout the playtest. The entry fee to unlocking that solid, powerful response was a swingweight close to 330, which some of our testers struggled with while on the run. A thin box beam construction and low 59 RA gave this racquet plenty of comfort and good control, and our team felt in command of their shots from all areas of the court. Although the Phantom 100P felt tougher to maneuver than many of today's 100-square-inch racquets, the benefits were clear. Players who are on the hunt for plow through, stability and excellent ball feel from a more forgiving 100-square-inch head size should take a good look at this Phantom 100P.

Plow through
Can be tough to maneuver

Bottom Line

This racquet's feel is slightly more responsive than the previous version and continues to offer plenty of stability, power and feel.

Strong intermediate to advanced

Groundstrokes - Score: 87

When it came to commanding points from the baseline, our team found this Phantom 100P to be an offensive weapon because of all the plow through it provided. As a playtester on the previous Phantom Pro 100P review, Tiffani started with some comparisons, saying, "I fell in love with the first version of this racquet but found it slightly out of my reach to use as a daily racquet. This Phantom 100P is quite similar, and transitioning to it from the Phantom Pro 100P would be seamless for those who play with the original. This racquet has the same characteristics and swing speed through the air, but it felt slightly crisper at contact. The comfort was not altered, and the touch remained outstanding. With the first version, I needed a bit more help when I was pushed off the baseline or was on the stretch. This Phantom 100P felt a smidge more responsive in those situations, so in that sense it was more forgiving. However, with a swingweight creeping toward 330, it is a bit demanding for me, and I really needed to be on my A-game. I struggled to get enough topspin when trying to hit short cross-court angles. I could almost ignore that problem because I really enjoyed the plow through, comfort and pocketing this racquet offered. When I hit a backhand slice just right, it felt sublime."

It took Jason no time to discover the benefits of this racquet's plow through. He said, "Looking at my PlaySight data, not only was I hitting balls with more depth, but I was also averaging 5 mph more compared to my current racquet. I grooved with this Phantom 100P right away. It helped that the specs are right in my comfort zone, so I was able to play my game without making any adjustments. I was getting really nice pop on my groundstrokes with it, especially on my forehand side. A slight negative for me would be that it isn't as whippy as I typically like. I found it more difficult to hit angles and shots on the run."

Mixing up shot selection is a big part of Erik's game, and he had some ups and downs while on the baseline. He explained, "This Phantom 100P is extremely stable, and the plow through is excellent. Slices tended to pop up because I would open the racquet face to compensate for the lack of head speed due to it being harder to maneuver. There was a good amount of power with the Phantom 100P, but it had very nice control as well. This racquet was a little tough to get into position when I was on the run. However, I loved it on my forehand slice. I could knife defensive forehand slices on the run, and the racquet would carry through contact effortlessly."

Kristen had similar sentiments to her fellow playtesters on groundstrokes. She added, "When I think of the Phantom 100P, the first word that comes to mind is solid. The way it moves through the air and contacts the ball — it's just such a stable feeling racquet with really nice plow through. It offered good pop off the stringbed, and I felt like I could really up the power and get my shots to land deep thanks to the open string pattern. The box-beam construction didn't cut through the air like the rounder beam on the whippier Phantom 100X 305g, but it did provide added power, plow through and stability. Although I found it to swing a bit easier through the air than its predecessor, it still became a pretty demanding racquet the longer I was on court. As much as I love the feel of the Phantom 100P, it's probably a bit more racquet than I need."

Volleys - Score: 86

The Phantom 100P wasn't always easy to use at net, but when our testers were on time and in position, the feel was outstanding. Of all the playtesters on this review, Erik moves forward most often. With this racquet in hand, he was able to tap into his bag of tricks at net. He explained, "The Phantom 100P was a little sluggish if I wasn't totally dialed in and staying low. The feel of this racquet is not as plush as the Phantom 100X; it's slightly stiffer but very responsive. I found myself able to hit a variety of volleys with this racquet and liked the feel at net. I could hit deep volleys, but I could also soften up my hands and hit shorter volleys as well. I felt very connected to the ball. Overall, this racquet is very solid at net."

Kristen also noted the importance of timing when volleying with this Phantom 100P. She said, "It's not as maneuverable as my racquet of choice, but when I was well prepared I could maximize the solid nature of the frame and easily punch balls into the open court. I noticed that I was often catching the ball a bit late, so I needed to really be on my game to get those harder reaction volleys back."

All that feel and stability boosted Tiffani's confidence to get more creative at the net. She said, "This racquet felt so solid at net, and it absorbed pace very well. The maneuverability was less of an issue at net than at the baseline, and this racquet felt just quick enough to move into position. My favorite aspect was easily the feel. Like with the previous version, this Phantom 100P enhanced my touch, which admittedly is almost non-existent. I was hitting drop volleys with success."

Jason put the Phantom 100P to good use on volleys. "I loved the feel of the racquet," he said. "I felt well connected to my shots, so I could hit volleys with better depth control. Thanks to the near-330 swingweight, there was enough mass to absorb pace and block shots back without getting bullied by hard-hit shots."

Serves - Score: 85

When a racquet has a higher swingweight, it can really pack a punch. The Phantom 100P let our testers load up their serves with power. Jason said, "Serving with this racquet was fantastic and fun. I was able to still be consistent by slicing my serves in, but they were going in with more pace than normal. The added pop and the spin I could get thanks to the open string pattern had me winning more points and holding serve easily."

Erik enjoyed the consistent response. He said, "I found myself getting really good plow through on serves. The Phantom 100P was quite predictable, and I was able to hit serves nice and deep in the service box without fear of hitting long. On second serves, I found I had nice spin and control as well. My favorite serves to hit were the flat serve up the T on the deuce side and the body serve on the ad side."

For Kristen , the benefits of the Phantom 100P's extra weight outweighed any negatives. She described, "This racquet took a bit more arm power to maneuver overhead than I'm used to, but the result was a heavy, powerful serve that I could load with spin. I felt super connected to my serves, and I felt that even if my motion was slowed down a bit, the ball was getting such nice plow through behind it that it was landing deep enough in the box to keep me in the point."

Tiffani liked her results when she could execute her serves properly. She said, "Because the serve is one of my weaker shots, it was not always easy for me to tap into what this racquet had to offer. I needed to feel like I was exaggerating my motion to get spin because this racquet was slightly slower through the air than what I typically use. However, on flat serves, I really did like how it pulled through my motion once I got it moving. The Phantom 100P put a good amount of weight behind the ball, and I liked hitting flat serves up the T."

Returns - Score: 86

When it came to firing returns back with the Phantom 100P , the stability and power worked in our playtesters' favor. Kristen described how the racquet's hefty nature came into play, saying, "The Phantom 100P offered amazing feel and great stability on returns. I felt like as long as I was able to get the racquet on a ball, it was going to be moving back through the court with good depth and drive. This racquet really performed well on shorter swings and blocking back pace through the court. I had great feel and control over where the ball was going to land."

Likewise, Tiffani focused on technique to find success on returns. She said, "I loved the Phantom 100P's stable response and comfortable feel on returns. Full swings were not on the menu, but even when I kept my stroke compact, this racquet could drive the ball back with power. Hitting back toward my opponent was an effective play. Because I wanted to give myself a bit of room for error in case I hit the ball late, the middle of the court was a smart target. As a bonus, this racquet had more plow through than my own, so those shots at the server could push my opponent back, giving me the upper hand to start the point."

Jason liked to mix up his shot selection on returns. He explained, "I felt like the Phantom 100P really did everything well here. When it was time to be aggressive, I could hit with tons of pace, and the spin helped keep the ball in. Thanks to that higher swingweight, when I was forced to block back a shot the ball landed with good depth, so I could recover and be right in it for the next ball. When the situation called for a drop return, and there are those times, I loved the feel and could judge depth well."

Erik , though, had some ups and downs with his return game. He said, "Serve returns took some getting used to. When I was really going after my returns and staying low, I could pinpoint my targets and hit with some nice precision. I thought the stability was very good with this racquet, so blocking back harder serves was great, but if I got stretched on the return, the racquet was tough to maneuver and get into position due to the higher swingweight."

Overall - Score: 87

Tiffani - "I like the power, feel, comfort, stability and cosmetics. Did I miss anything?"

Jason - "Great feel. Excellent blend of power and control. Easy to use and checks a lot of boxes in terms of performance."

Erik - "The Phantom 100P is comfortable and extremely stable, and it is great if you are hitting offensively. The plow through is top-notch."

Kristen - "Just an all-around solid racquet. Good stability, good plow through."

Tiffani - "It's harder to maneuver than what I would usually use, but take away that swingweight and it wouldn't offer the same plow through."

Jason - "The swingweight is slightly higher than what I'm used to. I would've liked it around 320 to 325. It's not as whippy as I'd prefer."

Erik - "The Phantom 100P would launch and become a little unpredictable when I was swinging big due to overcompensating for the weight. Because of the box beam and 100-square-inch head, this racquet became pretty demanding defensively."

Kristen - "The Phantom 100P came around a touch slow for me on serves, and overall, I prefer more whippy maneuverability from around the court."

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

Tiffani - "This racquet is a lot like the previous version. This newer Phantom 100P feels slightly crisper and more responsive, but the comfort is still there. Players who favor classic racquets should give this one a try. With its box-beam construction, it has some old-school flavor to it. Compared to my Prince Textreme Tour 100P, the Phantom 100P has more plow through, stability and feel, but it's also harder to swing. Outside of Prince, I would take a look at some of the Dunlop Srixon CX 200 racquets. There's nothing that matches the specs exactly, but those racquets also mix classic and modern."

Jason - "The Phantom 100P is like a more arm-friendly Babolat Pure Strike 16x19, but performance is about equal."

Erik - "Compared to my Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310), this Phantom 100P is a little more controlled and a little harder to manage overall. Comparing it with other racquets in the Phantom line, the Phantom 100P is similar to the Phantom 100X 305g, but with a higher swingweight and more plow through."

Kristen - "Compared to the Phantom O3 100X and 100X 305g models that I also tested, this Phantom 100P version definitely feels the most stable and packs the biggest punch. Personally, of the three, I prefer the maneuverability and pocketing feel of the Phantom 100X 305g."

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.
