Baseline:
From the baseline plays this racket just as the Prince Textreme Tour 95 very stable. It is An Real precision tools. By means of the leaf size get you something more power, but there stands the control by It 18x20 string pattern opposite. It racket is quite forgiving bee off center hits and you can comfortable spider generate without in at to pay on control. The slices from the baseline are razor sharp and be able to everywhere in return for the lines On become laid. Under Busy performs the Tour 100P something fewer than the Tour 95 Through It lower weight. But the Tour 100P makes It easier to sufficient length in you to succeed at to get. In comparison of other frames of An leaf size by 100 is the Tour 100P a lot of more stable of something fewer power.
Service: Serving with the Tour 100P is very easy. Compared to the Tour 95, for example, you can create a little more speed with the Tour 100P. Services can be placed very accurately, just like with the Tour 95, thanks to the unparalleled Prince feeling.
Net: This Tour 100P is a phenomenal racket to volley with. When volleying you really notice the enormous ball feel of this racket. Due to the large sweet spot and the balance of the racket to place his balls with extreme precision. Compared to the Tour 95, off-center hits are still more forgiving. This Tour 100P is a real pleasure at the net. Incredible feeling and enough punch to lay balls away tightly or to drop them dead. In my opinion, the Tour 100P comes into its own in a doubles game with a lot of volleying.
Power: With the Tour 100P you get a little more free power from the racket itself than with the Tour 95. That is sometimes nice when you are put under pressure and the length in your strokes decreases. However, the Tour 100P also remains a racket where you have to create your own power through a long and full swing.
Control: Unprecedented control for a racket with a head size of 100. Furthermore, the frame offers a wonderfully direct and dampened ball feel, just like its heavier brother, the Tour 95.
Comfort/Arm-friendliness: The racket feels comfortable, partly due to the relatively thin box beam frame. The impact of the ball is almost not felt on the arm. Those who cannot easily generate their own speed and have to hit with power, will probably be better off with the Tour 100P than with the Tour 95.
General impression: The Prince Textreme Tour 100P, the lighter brother of the Textreme Tour 95. In my review of the Tour 95 I was particularly impressed by the enormous feel of this racket. When testing the 100P I was therefore very curious whether the feel is still as phenomenal. After eight hours of playtest I can say that for the first time in my tennis career I played with a 100 racket head without thinking I would lose control. Prince has once again succeeded in demonstrating a brilliant feel. Just like the Tour 95, this Tour 100P has a razor-sharp feel and slices and volleys can be placed down with centimeter precision. Compared to the 95, this 100P gives you just that little bit more power without losing control. The addition of P, which stands for power, is therefore spot on! The control is probably mainly due to the 18x20 string pattern. In my opinion, the perfect setup for a 100 blade to create a perfect mix of power and control. Together with the enormous feel and direct ball contact, Prince has produced a real winner with the 100P. Due to the blade size and the excellent weight, this racket is suitable for a wide range of players. Despite the 18x20 string pattern, the spin enthusiast will not be short of anything. In short, this 100P does justice to the colors of the 95 with its performance and offers the player just that little bit more power and maneuverability. The classic ball feel of Prince is especially evident when hitting volleys and slices. The 100P is an all-round racket for players who are looking for a classic playing feel and a refined mix of power and maneuverability. An absolute must for the fanatic doubles player. Volleys are hard to miss with this 100P.
