Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P Racquet Review

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."

I am currently playing with Prince Textreme Tour 100P, I love everything about this racquet and currently playing the best tennis of my life with this frame. I like the control, feel and power of the racquet, and the weight and balance seems to be a perfect match for me. However I am experience some minor wrist pain, and are afraid that the pain could evolve. I have been reading that other TT members have experienced the same issue with this frame. I would like to ask members here who have played the TT100P, what other racquet plays close to the same feeling, control and power but without any wrist issues. I have tried the Prince Phantom Pro 100P but that was not a close match. Doing research here the frames that come to mind would be Yonnex DR98, Angell TC100 and Angell K7 Any help will be appreciated. Cheers, Toby

Maybe first look at string type and tension if you like racquet?  

TT100P in itself should be one of the more armfriendly racquets around, so i would definitely advise you to look at other options first before changing a racquet you feel comfortable with. Strings come to mind, they're usually more responsible for armproblems in tennis anyway. Look for some softer polys, or try multis. Another point to look at is technique. I know it sounds silly, but most armpain would be avoided given perfect timing - now obviously that's quite the high bar to reach, but in my experience wirst injuries often result from contact being made too far back, placing the wrist in an uncomfortable position. I've had a chronic inflammation in my wrist for some months now and have really focused on warming up my arm and wrist well before each session, which has helped me a lot in reducing pain - so definitely try that out aswell, if you aren't already. All that being said, the Yonex DR98 is probably the best performing modern players frame around, but it does not feel like the prince at all, and it is definitely not more armfriendly, although it isn't bad either. I have never played with Angells before, so i can't help you out there. For other arm friendly racquets check out the ProKennex performance line, I don't know what they're called currently. Last time I played them they were great and very plush, feeling somewhat similar to the prince, and I doubt they have changed much. Hope that helps somewhat, best of luck  

Forgot to write that I play with soft strings: Favorite: gut mains / isospeed professional classic cross Alternative: multi like Head Velocity or RIP control. I also sometimes play with Hyper G 18 strung at 36/36

Yonex Duel G 310. I actually prefer the DG 310 playability-wise, and found it to be comfy even with a full bed of poly. The 100P was less comfortable than its specs on paper would indicate. The DR98 is too sluggish to be considered a direct replacement to the Prince 100P in my opinion. I've owned and played with all three rackets fairly extensively.

It’s a difficult racket to replace in that it’s a 100 square inch head with an 18x20. I use this stick and I’ve never had any problems with comfort. I have found that it takes weight in the handle well so a Wilson shock shield grip might be an idea. Good suggestions regarding technique - always worth having a Pro look at your strokes before replacing rackets. You could switch and find the problem follows you.

If you have a soft string bed and the 100P( pretty low vibration frame) is giving you some pain. I point to form.. Absolutely no racquet will fix that.. A temporary patch would be a full set of naturally gut. But still....seek some extra eyes..something is askew...  

Toby14 said: However I am experience some minor wrist pain Click to expand...

Never clicked with DR98. Duel G 310 might work too. Skip the top string then it will become Chung’s racket since he uses retail verion rackets with lead tape hahahahaha  

WestboroChe

I also play with the 100P and it is a very soft racquet. So I am inclined to think your problems stem from other areas. Have you considered adding a little weight to it? It’s a great frame but it needs a little mass IMO. And as you may know heavier frames tend to produce less shock.  

smalahove said: I agree with your comments. However, it would add that the TT100P is def more towards a Pure Drive than the DG97 310. I experienced arm discomfort with the TT100P as well, when strung with a medium+ stiff poly at mid 50s. If I were to play it again, I'd look into 40-42 lbs with a medium stiff poly (cyclone f.inst.) in a thin gauge (18/1.2). Click to expand...

i have never played with a racquet as easy on the joints as the phantom ... any of them (ive used the reg and the pro). they are looooooowwww powered though, less so than the textreme tour 100P.

Some Blade CVs (particularly the one I had) feel like unwieldy clubs compared to the fast swinging 100P. Definitely would have to get one with the proper spec, actually under spec compared to average.  

I think the Yonex EZONE DR98 plays nothing like the Prince TT 100P. I have or had both rackets and the DR98 is much more muted than the TT100P and lacked feel. It also had a really high launch angle. The TT100P is the opposite and feels crisp. Crisp enough for TE sufferers to be careful with string selection. The launch angle is also very low unless you play with spin strings and use a full western. You'd have to be a 5.0 like @Toby14 to rev up RPMs.

Thank you all for great suggestions. Regarding stroke mechanics I think I am ok and solid, however I have started to modify my serve with a pro and this could perhaps have an effect on my wrist. I just had the luck today to hit with Angell TC100 and the new K7 - both great racquets, I think I liked the K7 the most but it is low powered compared to TT100P. Both very arm friendly IMO. I just feel more connected to my TT100P I had no wrist issue today when playing TT100P / Angells 50/50, but some hours later I have a little soreness in my wrist again. Makes me wonder if it could be iPad, iPhone or mouse related. So far nothing I have hit with is close to the TT100P, I like the crisp power and control of this racquet. Angells more muted and less powerfull IMO DR98 is next on the list if I can find one used at a good price, perhaps DR98+, also getting my Prokennex 7G and Ki5x out for a run again (both 27.5)

I've recently changed to the TT100p from the Babolat pure strike 18x20 and they feel very similar!  

Zoolander said: Everyone here has great suggestions. Given that you like the 100P so much, I would back up what others say about getting a nice thick, soft grip on there, and would add trying my magic remedy of stuffing little foam bean bag balls inside your handle till its full, and adding a bit of bluetac or silicone in the end. Will only add around 5g or so and dampens vibes that might aggravate your wrist. Though given the 100P has a lower flex and vibe frequency already then who knows. And I doubt it would do anything but you could string it with only 16 mains rather than 18 as the outside mains are pretty useless anyways..... less mains will make a slighty softer stringbed.

If I have to work on my computer in the evenings, I can feel the effect pretty quickly when using the mousepad on my macbook. Same goes for iphone use. Try to use the left hand for ipad and iphone use. If you need to use the computer, try to rest the mouse arm in front of you, flexed inwards (natural position), so that it rests on the table from the elbow to the wrist. The mouse should be positioned in front of you, and the keyboard behind it. Couldn't find a picture, sorry. Click to expand...

The PP100P is very low powered and too flexy for my liking. But the TT100P is great for serves. I'm pretty short but it has plenty of power for serves and the denser string bed gives you additional directional control. Spin doesn't seem any less available than in my old ProStaff. You can definitely play poly if you want. Very comfy racquet.

Dartagnan64

Some suggestions for wrist issues: 1) Wrist compression brace to stabilize the TFCC when playing 2) Add another overgrip to see if a larger grip lessens the wristiness of your strokes 3) add a little weight to the handle to increase HL specs of the racket If those things don't help then try a Phantom 100 with Origin/Velocity. Softest setup I've been able to come up with and still has reasonable power and spin.  

Toby14 said: I have become very aware about how I use my mouse on the computer as well as how I handle the iPhone and Ipad. My starting wrist injury suddenly and luckily disappeared, and this had let me to believe that it was not the frame but some other causes. In my frustration I tried a lot of racquet - got my self a Angell TC100 and a Yonex DR 98 both used. So I could do a little write up of my findings: Angell TC100, great racquet, almost same spec as TT100P and DR 98 (only 5-10g heavier). Very nice racquet, well dampened, absolutely arm friendly - VERY powerfull, higher launch angle, and a little less control. Swings heavier than TT100P and DR 98. I have restrung the racquet with a more muted multi (RIP Control), have to see if this string is better than my normal setup. Yonex DR 98, also a great racquet close to the spec of TT100P, very muted, lower powered than the TT100P, very arm friendly, good control, I have more trouble locating the sweet spot. Wonder how the DR 98+ would compare. Prince Textreme Tour 100P, for me this racquet has the perfect blend of power and control, arm friendly, I have no problem with spin even with the 18x20 string bed. This racquet does everything great for me, I am so happy that my wrist is OK and I will continue to play with this great frame. All racquets strung with same string setup: Nat Gut / Isospeed professional Classic - 24kg/25kg. Too powerfull string setup for the Angell and restrung with Rip Control 24kg/24kg Thanks to everyone for your help. Click to expand...

• Gripping racquet too tight upon impact?
• Insufficient wrist/arm warm up before hard hitting?
• Racquet require too much effort to generate spin with wrist snap?
• Insufficient dampening

Every racket feels good at the beginning of a hitting session whether it be practice or a match, every racket feels bad at the end of it.

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.

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

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.

• Stability when at full stretch
• Good feel on block returns

Who is this Racket For?

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.

• Slick cosmetics
• Good blend of all-around specs
• Very stable
• Balance/swing weight specs off

Any questions about the ATS Textreme Tour 290? Have you used any rackets in the Prince Textreme Tour Line? Let me know in the comments.

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?

Control - 8

Manoeuvrability - 7.5, stability - 9, comfort - 9.5, touch/feel - 8.5, serves - 7.5, groundstrokes - 8.5, volleys - 8, returns - 8.

A solid frame from intermediate male players and higher-level female players looking for controllable power and great feel.

Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P Racquet Review

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 (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.

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 Textreme Tour 100 310 Racquet Review

I have been a fan of Prince racquets for quite a while now. Here is the Prince Textreme tour 100 310 Racquet Review is no exception.

I got back into Prince tennis racquets when they released the first edition of Textreme racquets. The Prince Textreme Tour 95 was a racquet of mine for quite a while considering I am a true tennis nerd and racquets switcher extraordinaire and the Textreme Tour 100P became quite a popular choice for many recreational players as well as Lucas Pouille. This is pretty much that racquet, updated with an open string pattern and with Twaron added to the frame for better shock dampening and feel.

When you mention the material Twaron the ears of racquet nerds all over the world perk up. Twaron? You mean the same material that was inside the legendary HEAD Pro Tour 630? Yes, that Twaron. And does make wonders for the feel of the Prince Textreme Tour 100 310. Despite a pretty high stiffness rating, at least for a Prince racquet, the Twaron creates this beautiful connected feel to these racquets. You really feel it in the string bed, especially if you string a good poly a bit lower to get that classic “cupping” feel of the ball.

Specs and tech

Twaron and Textreme work wonderfully together in this frame to create a plush yet stable feel. The string pattern is 16×18, which was never something I personally gravitated towards, but this racquet manages to carve a low skidding slice and offer good control despite the pattern. Spin is also easy to come by with this frame so I think I prefer this from the 18×20 pattern of the Textreme Tour 100P of a few years back, but I have not tested the newer version. My guess is that this tighter 16×18 and that more open 18×20 won’t feel that different.

Unstrung Specs:

Head size: 100 sq inches (645 cm2) Length: 27 inch Weight: 310 grams / 11 ounces Balance: 31 cm / 10 pts HL Stiffness: 68 Beam width: 22/23/20 mm Swing weight: 285

The swing weight of this racquet ends up around 320 strung, which is a little low for me, so I preferred it with 4 grams of lead tape at 3 and 9 to get a bit more power and stability.

How does it play?

I was impressed with this racquet from the first strike of the ball. Absolutely zero discomfort, nice plush feel, decent pace, and spin – a balanced response on all shots. Some people will crave a bit more power, but you can open up the power level by stringing low. I used two different string setups for this test. One was Yonex Poly Tour Strike at 22 kg and Yonex Poly Tour Pro at 23 kg. I preferred the Poly Tour Strike at a lower tension and it gave me a nice bit and a plush response.

This racquet does not have the round head shape of the Phantoms so for me it felt more natural and faster through the air than that series of racquets. It played more like a 98 to me and would be closer to a Pure Strike 98 in performance than a Pure Aero for example. But the comfort, like with most Prince racquets, is a lot better.

A very good racquet by Prince. I could definitely see myself switching to this one. The only thing I missed a bit at times was some more free power (on serves for example) which could be a sign that:

A) I am getting old B) it is incredibly hot in Malta and the body screams DON’T MOVE C) I just need to move my feet more whatever racquet I play

But other than that. Top notch racquet. I can really recommend this one.

Babolat Pure Strike 100 2019 Racquet Review

Seeding controversy raises question marks ahead of wimbledon, you may also like, why use heavier racquets, new prince phantom racquets, atp houston string tensions, tecnifibre tf-x1 v2, wilson blade 98 16/19 v9 review, the babolat pure drive celebrates 30 years, babolat pure strike 100 16/20 review, head boom pro 2024 review, head boom 2024, dunlop cx 200 review, 47 comments.

I found good power with this one, probably you are getting older….

I have been demoing the Wilson Clash Tour and I know it is a unique racquet but I would like to have your comments on how you compare them. Despite the stiffness, both are 100 inch’s head, same SW, same weight…

The Prince offers a bit more control and a traditional feel. The Clash is more powerful and spin-friendly, but I think the Prince has a more even-sided response, meaning it has pretty much no weaknesses, while the Clash can feel a bit erratic at times.

Prince is making great racquets. Fortunately, rumors of their demise weren’t true.

I agree a hundred percent!

Hello tennisnerd!!! which one you prefer the Textreme tour 95 or this one ?

Hi Bruno, I prefer this one! It is more forgiving, has a great feel, better spin and pop – just a classy racquet. Cheers / Jonas

How would you compare (particularly arm-friendliness) it to the Beast line? Have you tried the Beast 100?

Hi Gary, I have not tried the Beast 100, but the Beast 98 was crisp, but not uncomfortable. Prince racquets usually offer a pretty arm-friendly response. The new Textreme Tours are more comfortable than the Beast line in my opinion. Cheers / Jonas

Thanks for the great review. How does the Prince Textreme Tour 310 compare to the Diadem Elevate Tour….control and power?

Thanks! Tough one. The Elevate Tour feels more solid on impact, but the high swing weight makes it more powerful. Control-wise they are similar, but I am a big fan of the Prince so would tip my hat towards that racquet unless you want something a bit beefier. The Elevate Tour will play a tad more stable.

Thanks for the review, I really enjoyed it. I´m currently using the K7 Red but I´m looking for a bit more power and stability (in a comfortable package). Would you say that the Tour 310 fits those needs in stock form?

And are you planning to review the ported version as well?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Ruben, Appreciate your comment. What you could do is add some lead tape at 3 and 9 to get the stability up. If you want to maintain balance, add weight at the top of the handle underneath the regular grip as well.

But if you like the K7 and want more stability, the 310 is a great option. I am loving mine.

I might review the ported version, not sure yet.

Regards / Jonas

Really good review from you and TW, makes me want to buy one to give it a try. I’m just very weary of the 16×18 pattern, concerned that my shots will fly upwards…

How would you compare this racquet with an Angell V3 TC100, which has a similar RA and can be customized to almost match this one?

Also, I’m using a Prostock Ultra Tour at 60RA and 310g unstrung (5g silicone total at 3&9). It has a really closed 18×20 pattern, but apart from spin and launch angle, how do you think this Prince would feel compared to it?

Jonas, could you explain more what difference makes a round shape head like the Phantom and compared to a more oval shape like the Tour? Thanks!

I am coming off Dunlop CX2.0 18×20 and I just enjoyed a couple of demo hits with the Prince TT310. I am also interested in the Dunlop CX200 Tour 16×19, but can’t demo that one in Australia – I image both are very comfortable on the arm and have similar feel on contact – wondering if you noticed much power difference once you added lead to the hoop of the Dunlop?

Yeah, these sticks are all comfortable enough, but I felt it needed some lead tape to increase stability, plow-through and power. On the TT 310, I can actually use it stock for some reason…Cheers / J

Tänkte först köpa detta racket men de säljer inte det i Sverige av någon anledning!? Tror det handlar om rättigheter men har svårt att förstå vad det handlar om.

Hej Tomas, Ibland säljer de inte vissa racketar i Europa men i USA eller tvärtom. Det är upp till företagen och distributörerna. De kanske inte tror den kommer sälja bra i Sverige/Europa av någon anledning, ska kolla upp lite mer vad som gäller där. Kommer sälja mina Prince om du är intresserad. För många recensioner!

Mvh / Jonas

Hello tennisnerd. Regarding the Prince Textreme Tour 100 310 and Wilson Clash 98.

Which racket offers most control ? Or combining both control and power best ?

My current racket is Head Prestige Pro and i struggle a little with the swingweigt of that racket. I tend to get what we in Sweden call “gummiarm”

Hi Peter, Good question! I prefer the control in the Prince, but they are not that far apart.

They both offer good control but prefer the feel and stability of the Prince.

If you struggle with the Prestige Pro, go for the Prince. It is a very nice racquet.

I know all about gummiarm! :) Cheers / Jonas

Hello Tennisnerd,

In terms of overall comfort, which is more comfortable the Prince Phantom 100P or the Textreme Tour 310? I found the Phantom to be a bit harsh with vibration on off center hits. How does the Textreme Tour 310 play with the additional lead in the hoop?

Hi Ken, The Textreme Tour is significantly softer on off-center hits. You can add lead to improve this even further and the racquet is still easy to manuever. Great stick! Regards / J

PS. If you feel like my advice is really useful, please consider becoming a patron for $2 at patreon.com/tennisnerd DS.

Hi Ken, I think the Textreme Tour 310 plays softer and still with a bit more power. I much prefer the response from that racquet.

Regards / J

Please comment on the Prince Textreme Tour 310 vs the Diadem Elevate Tour. Especially in the areas of control and of serve. Thank you. Norm

Hi Norm, They are both excellent racquets. The Diadem offers more power and a higher swing weight. I prefer the slightly softer response of the Prince, while the spin levels for the racquets are around the same. The Diadem packs more punch on serve, while the control is similar. I find the Prince a bit easier to use.

Hi Tennisnerd. I made the switch from Head Prestige Pro to the Prince Tour 100 310g racket and we strung it with Solinco Tour Bite Soft (25kg).

Playing with the Prince racket for the first times was a pleasant surprise.

Suddenly i could use my wrist and wipe the racket that i been told to do when hitting groundstrokes and it delivers great power hitting groundstrokes.

Head Prestige Pro is a great racket but my wrist doesn’t like the svingweight of that racket. I don’t know why but playing with the Prince made it all easier for me.

I´m glad i made the switch !

Suffering from a sever case of TE. How would you rate the Prince TT100 vs Angell K7 lime?

They are both very comfortable racquets that should work well if you have tennis elbow. String them with a multi and you are good to go!

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looked like you triedd a leather grip during your playtest for this racket?

What are your favorite leather grips when you do use them?

Choosing between Prince TT100 (310g) and TT100P. Did you compare them? Which pattern would you suggest 16×18 or 18×20. Otherwise they look pretty similar. Currently playing Head Graphene Radical Touch MP. Thanks

They are probably very similar, but I have not played the new 100P so I can’t compare them.

Following up on a previous question, how would you compare the Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) to the Beast 98 overall?, all things considered I know you mentioned that the Beast 98 is more crisp. But overall, how would you compare the two? I use the Beast 98 and have been playing my best tennis with it! Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Beast 98: A bit more stable, more spin-friendly. Textreme Tour: larger sweet spot, sweeter feel.

If you play good tennis with the Beast, stay with the Beast!

Hi Tennisnerd,

I have not seen / read many reviews of the 03 versions of the Textreme tour nor the 290g. And so I would like to get your thoughts on the Prince Textreme Tour 03 (290g) vs the 03 (310g)? Would the 290 be more powerful / less comfortable vs the 310g? Do you think the 03 tech makes a difference in with the sweet zone?

Hi Jonas, I have watched a lot of your racquet reviews, but this one about the Prince TexTreme Tour 100 310 really got me excited! I am thinking THIS is the one. One question. You stated the frame stiffness is RA 68, however when I want to actually BUY this racquet, and I go to let’s say Tennis Warehouse, the specs say RA 65 ! Also on a lot of other tennis shops I see specs rating this frame as RA 65. I’m confused. To me an RA of 65 is a world apart from a 68. I am used to playing high RA racquets like Wilson Pro Staff Classic 6.1, Prince CTS Approach 90 and Prince Thunderstick 110. Can you tell me what the real frame stiffness of the Prince TexTreme Tour 100 310 is, once and for all (unstrung) ? Greetings, Julius

Great review! I am looking for an allround 100in. open pattern racket and narrowed it down to this racket, the new Head Graphene 360+ Speed MP and the Yonex Ezone 100. Can you compare the three and let me know which one you consider a better choice. Thank you!

Hi, I think the Prince is the most versatile racquet with the best feel. The Speed is in second, while the Ezone is the most powerful (and least comfortable).

Hi Jonas, What raquet will be more manouvrable between this and the the beast 98? I do mostly hit with short powerfull swings, and never had 310 gr raquets. I ‘m currently playing with txt 100p and beast 100, and was looking for something a bit easier than the 100p…(looking for higher arch), but a bit more controllable than the lovely beast 100. Tollerance to misshoot is important as well considering my type of game. Thank you!!

Hello Jonas, still looking for a successor for my apd 2013 gt.

The Stringbed of the Pure Aero feel to erratic because it’s just to open. Also the pa is to powerful for me, can’t rip through the ball with confidence.

Do you think this could suit? Strangely i feel the APD does has way more flex in the hoop as the pure drive and strike even its a stiff racquet….

Doe this has a similar access to power amd Spin as the aeropro?

Hi, yes similar power/spin in my opinion, perhaps a bit lower in power, but not much.

Thanks a lot! Is the Stringbed as open as it’s on the pure Aero? The pure aero provides a very high launch angle and it’s quite hard to flatten out and hit a consistent ball with it…

Hi Jonas, How far would you suite this prince to the pure drive gt plus, in terms of power and spin? I’ve been playing for some time with PD gt plus, young aggressive baseline hitter (5.0 – 5.5), and I am looking for a more versatile stick in order to help me extends and vary more my game style. I’m sure this stick could help me with that, but Im concerned about loosing too much power/spin in the way, and my strongest shots with it. Cannot acced to demo in my country (Argentina), so would really appreciate your opinion.

HOLA JHON…creo que podria ayudarte un poco con tu pregunta,ya que hace un tiempo he usado un PD y tambien un APDRIVE 2014. En este momento estoy jugando con la PRINCE TOUR 310 que se detalla en esta revisión. Sin lugar a dudas , la potencia de las Babolat, no esta presente en la PRINCE, pero la capacidad de maniobra y la comodidad de esta raqueta es fantastica.!!!!! Creo que si sos un jugador de todo el campo y no solo de disparos de fondo , la PRINCE sirve y mucho.!!!! Personalmente juego tres o cuatro veces por semana y desde que uso esta raqueta no tengo ninguna molestia en el brazo.!!!! Gran raqueta…..!!!!!! Uso cuerda zons calibre 1.18 a 46 libras y la raqueta tiene bastante poder.!!! Espero que mi comentario te sirva….y es realmente una pena que en nuestro pais (ARGENTINA), no se pueda hacer demostración de raquetas,.!!!! Un gran saludo.!!!!!

I’ve been playing with a Wilson blade 98 for a couple of years and love the weight at the net and control (which was why I bought it) but I’m not a super strong player and find I can’t get enough power on my serve for example, wondering any thoughts to compare as the description on this sounds promising

Hi Jonas, I am using Diadem Elevate Tour 98 with lead tape at 3 and 9. If I want more power, better control and better slice, is it worth switching to Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310 in your opinion? Thanks.

Hey, sounds like a heavy setup, but for more power, the TT 310 is an excellent option. Not sure about control, though.

Product Description

Controlled and delivering a solid feel, the Prince TeXtreme Tour 100P is a controlled racquet that brings spin to the game. Endorsed by Lucas Pouille, this frame is a great option for players that like to take big cuts at the ball. The drilling on this 18x20 racquet plays open so that players with good technique can easily add spin to their shots and have them dip back into the court. Ground strokes off of both wings played with plenty of depth but this frame had noticeable spin and directional control on serve. TeXtreme and Twaron are combined to deliver the same responsive and stable feel as the previous version but now with a more comfortable and dampened feel at impact. Easy to swing from both the baseline and at net thanks to the head light balance, this racquet still stands up to heavy shots at net so you can put volleys away. While not as powerful due to the tighter string pattern than other Prince Tour racquets but in the right hands can put plenty of depth on shots.
