Technology:
For this update of the Tour series, Prince once again uses the well-known Textreme technology with Twaron as with the 2nd generation Tours. New is the addition of ATS or the Anti Torque System. The Textreme itself gives a very stable playing feeling, without feeling stiff. The added ATS technology is placed around the heart piece and at the top of the blade. This makes the racket feel even more stable. This combined with a nice low RA (stiffness) of 61, provides excellent comfort and ball feeling.
Playing characteristics Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P:
The ATS Textreme Tour 100P offers the now familiar mix of control and forgiveness. This is one of the few 100 sq/inch rackets with an 18x20 stringing pattern. This compact string pattern provides control and fine control over the ball and is also recommended for frequent string breakers. Yet the racket still has a surprisingly good spin potential. The 100 sq/inch head size and the RA of 61 give the racket a very forgiving feel, while control is guaranteed.
From the baseline, this racket feels nice and fast due to the low balance point. This racket does not have the (free) spin of theATS Tour 98, but offers more spin than expected. The racket feels wonderfully solid and predictable with a nice control element. What is also striking is the touch and forgiveness for a typical control racket. Furthermore, you can easily create racket head speed with this racket, which is also noticeable when serving. You can easily produce nice full services. Finally, the net game: the new Tour 100P is lightning fast at the net, but also extremely stable. Great update of the Tour 100P, which retains all the good features of this racket. However, the nice touch and extra comfort are a nice bonus in this control-oriented racket. This is a racket for players with a full swing and/or for players who bring enough power themselves. The Tour 100P then provides control!
The Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P combines control with a forgiving and comfortable playing feel. Also a surprising amount of spinning potential for an 18x20 stringing pattern!
