For the
Prince racket collection 2017, the brand continues to build on the successful Textreme technology. The collection remains largely unchanged, but does have 2 novelties. First, Prince introduces the Textreme Phantom 100 with a revolutionary 'Tour' racket. In addition, the Premier series is completed with the Textreme Premier 110.
What is Textreme?
Textreme is a new way of weaving carbon, which allows a higher density of carbon to be used in the manufacture of rackets. This in turn provides a higher torsional stiffness around the heart of the rackets, good for extra control, power and ball feel, without extra strain on the arm. The great thing about the Textreme material is that it also keeps the RA values (the stiffness) of the rackets low, but that you can offer extremely stable rackets with a lot of power!
All rackets below are compatible with the
Sony Smart Sensor . The addition
PL after the racket specifications stands for the PowerLevel of the racket. A lower number means less power, but more control and these rackets are therefore for players with a full, big swing. The higher the number, the more power, but less control. These rackets are for players with a short, more compact swing.
Tour Series - Spin & Control
The Prince Textreme Tour series is made for players who are looking for control and ball feel and is suitable for players with a full swing. The addition of Textreme makes for the most stable frames Prince has ever been able to build for fantastic control, but also enough power. New in the Tour series is the Textreme Phantom 100: an ultra-thin racket that combines the Textreme and O3 technology (holes) in a frame with a super low RA value of 60!

Premier Series - Comfort & Power
The ultimate in comfort and power can be found in the Prince Textreme Premier series. These are rackets that combine the stability of Textreme with the power and generous sweet spot of the earlier O3 rackets with holes. The result is enormous comfort and easy access to power for players with a shorter swing. New for the Prince racket collection 2017 is the Textreme Premier 110. This racket is the successor to rackets such as the Prince O3 Blue and O3 Speedport Blue and fills the gap between the Premier 105 and 120.
