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 62, provides excellent comfort and ball feeling.

Playing characteristics Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98:

Read the extensive test report of the ATS Tour 98 by Mike here. What makes this racket so unique is the fine balance between control and power. On the one hand, the Tour 98 is a real control racket with fine control over the ball, which allows you to play full swing without quickly losing control of the ball. On the other hand, the racket has more than enough power when you hit full swing. And it shows: you can throw a punch with this racket, but always with sufficient control. Another pleasant feature is the ball feeling, which is especially noticeable with slice backhands and stop volleys and drop shots. All this combined with a nice low RA of 62 for a good dose of arm-friendliness and Prince has struck gold with this new Tour 98!
