Didn't realized they came out with a new 100P as well. What's the difference between the 100 and the 100P?

In the past I weighted up a TT100T to as close to 100P specs as I could get it. Definitely liked the 16x18 pattern a little better, but I could never get the balance to feel right so I gave up on it. This new 100 may fit the bill perfectly!!

Old version vibration frequency was 139, which is pretty buttery. New is 150 - which seems to be at the limit for my elbow. http://twu.tennis-warehouse.com/cgi-bin/vibfrequency.cgi

Has anyone else demoed the new one? Impressions?

I am interested in this as well.  

• Jul 23, 2019

I demoed all 3 princes. Hit about 200 balls each off a ball machine. I keep saying this but the 2019 TT is awesome, it’s a lot like the 2015 blade. Nothing will be a blade but this comes close. It was putting the ball where I aimed it every time. I knew where the ball was going as it left the racquet. I tend to get some arm pain with poly, it’s not tennis elbow. It’s more of the triceps connection area of my elbow, I get the same pain when I play hockey. Anyways fun, poly bed on the TT and it was great. The sound is not so much. I like the pop sound on my ‘14 PS with a gut hybrid but my main stick is the TT now.  

Tt310 or tt100p?

The 2019s do not feel stiffer, but if you have old joints please beware. The numbers do not lie. My 4.0 friend in his 60s developed GE after a couple of months with his TT100P(2019) and I did as well (59 and 4.5). It can creep up on you. My friend is not ditching his 2019, but I am back with the 2015 - better stock up since they will soon be gone. Younger players will be most likely be fine health-wise and will prefer the new models. The main difference between the TT310 and TT100P is launch angle - lower with the 18x20 of course.  

hmmmm. I would be coming from the tour 100 ports. I played the tt100p for a while and liked it. I ended up se snlling them and going with my tours all the way ag ain. I do have a sensitive elbow so I think you just answered my question. I am demoing the 310 and yonex vcore 310 for kicks. If nothng blows me away I wlll probably remain wth the tours or even go back to the tt1009P 2015 in 1/2 grip. No more 3/8 for me. I have sleeves on my tours and will not go back. Thanks for the help.

Absolutely not. If anything it would be better. My elbow is not suffering, I just don’t want 3/8 grip anymore. I always add a half sleeve or use shockshield grips which are thick. I used to use 1/2 and I would rather have the 1/2, use my fav thin overgrip and feel bevels more.

what is your grip size?  

I'll be able in a week or so to tell you the difference between the Prince Textreme Tour 100P v.2015 and the Prince Textreme Tour 310. I just ordered the 310 and have the 2015 Tour. I ordered the 310 because I wanted a larger grip size and wanted to explore a more open pattern. All I can say about the 100P.2015 is that it's got enormous backhand slice; a new and useful tool for me. Good at serves, and feels great. I'm used to a 16 x 19 pattern, so I'd like more spin with the serve and a higher launch angle and hope the 310 has some answers here.

I'm still waiting for the 310. Yeah, here, not so much into "crispy." The word reminds me too much of the Wilson Pro Staff 6.1 and its crispy-loving fans. It's another word for "stiff." Me. . . buttery. Love buttery frames. And frames that bend a bit in the tip. . . I like this because it gives me control since that's what I'm used to.

I just found a deal on a 2019 TT100P to go with my TT100P limited. Hopefully they’ll play close enough to the same. I think for the price I’m in them for, it’s worth it. We all know specs can be off for weight, balance, etc. how accurate are flex ratings? Is there a variance with same models?  

• Feb 28, 2024

I have both the 2019 prince tour 100p and the 2015 prince tour 100p The 2015 version: - more connection with the ball - much better sense of where you aim and strike while hitting the ball - more feel and feedback of what you do The 2019 version - Stiffer, harder frame - slightly more power, but in my opinion maybe unnecessary to mention since it’s little - close to 2015 in terms of playability (easy switch, same experience in terms of how it feels while holding it, swinging, same response. But, just less connected . If you are a feel/touch player who want to use the racket as very accurate extension of what you exactly plan to do and who wants connect and experience the ball contact, I would definitely recommend the 2015.

@Trip I really switched to the 2019 tour 100 310 as my main stick. I’m curious to the 100p 18x20 based on your posts about how great the control and overall performance with 6 mains in throat is. Do you agree with vincebox’s nice comparison between 2015 and 2019 models? Thanks.  

@gonzo666 - At a high level, the most obvious difference to most anyone who would compare the 100 and 100P inside a single hitting session would be the typical difference between a 16x18 and 18x20 with all else held equal: the 18x20 will give you noticeably less trampoline, more uniform response over a larger percentage of face area and a naturally lower launch angle. As for how much of any of the three, that really depends on your swing mechanics. For a flatter hitter like myself (eastern-bordering-on-southwestern forehand; eastern one-handed backhand), the 100P is about 10-15% lower-powered, about 25-30% more controlled and a few degrees lower launch angle on average. For someone hitting with more swipe, I could see the 100P exhibiting a larger loss of power, more equal to and/or perhaps slightly more than any amount of control gained, but launch angle difference might be minimized. Long story short, which one you pick really depends on your play style and your swing mechanics, and if you're even close to wavering on your choice, then I definitely think you should buy a 100P and see for yourself. As for the 2015 vs 2019 debate, I do largely agree with @vincebox , however I personally prefer the more stiff, solid feel of the 2019, as it gives the frame a more unique place in the overall arsenal of what's out there: a more Pure Drive -like rebound response, yet the same level of control and composure from the string bed (especially in the 100P). The 2019 is just a unicorn in that sense. There's really nothing else out there like it, especially the 100P. Micro-debates aside, one thing is for certain: the Tour is unequivocally Prince's best silo for most players, with the Warrior a close second. (Sorry Phantom and/or novelty silo fans; it just is what it is).

gonzo666 said: Thanks. Great stuff. I have a SW FH (I do like to drive thru the ball) and BH is mostly slice. Or lobs during dubs. I will probably pick up one of these 100P for a fun, control stick. Click to expand...

Trip said: Yep. Especially if slice is big part your game, you'll likely love the 100P. The more dense pattern is noticeably better at creating and controlling a nice low, knifing slice versus the more open 100, at least in my experience. One final note: when transitioning, just take care to select the right gauge and tension -- ex: with the 100 310, if you're using a gauge, say, in the upper 1.20's - low 1.30's (to close up the pattern a bit) and a reference tension of perhaps low-mid 50's lbs, you'll probably want to drop to down to low 1.20's to 1.25 ish gauge and perhaps mid-upper 40's tension in the 100P, just to give yourself enough of a similar open-ness and dynamic tension, overall. Mind you, doing so may lighten the weight of the string enough that you may feel it necessary to add maybe a smidge of lead to the frame (even with an extra 2 mains and 2 crosses, thinner string may still be lighter overall). Then, play test, and you can modulate from there. Hope that helps again! Click to expand...

This racquet is Sony Smart Tennis Sensor compatible.

The newest family of racquets in the Prince line-up for 2015 brings with them a new technology that makes them flexible and stable without harsh vibrations. Players seeking a flexible, responsive frame with a crisp, traditional feel can look no further than the Prince TeXtreme Tour 100P . The 100 square inch head size offers solid maneuverability with a large sweet spot and good forgiveness. The racquet trades the EXO3 grommet system of the other Tour series frames for a traditional setup. This results in a frame with a more traditional, crisp feel on contact than other frames in the series. The 20-22-20mm beam width provides excellent power while retaining a consistent and stable feel. With a 11.3oz (strung) weight, this frame swings confidently on both offense and defense. The head light balance makes the racquet fast through contact and also keeps it extremely maneuverable when volleying at the front of the court. The 18x20 string pattern gives players plenty of control with solid spin capabilities as well. The Prince TeXtreme Tour 100P offers players an aggressive racquet that can produce penetrating shots with a crisp, responsive feel. Check out our selection of  TeXtreme Bags  specially designed for this racquet!

Product Description

Controlled and delivering a solid feel, the Prince Tour 100P is a controlled racquet that brings spin to the game. 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.

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 (310) Racket Review

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

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

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

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

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

Custom Fittings

Discover your perfect racket and string combo!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Groundstrokes

8 out of 10

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8.5 out of 10

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Prince 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.

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

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

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.
