This is the 2015 version, stiffness is 62 RA. The 2019 version has Twaron added, stiffness is 66.
What's the difference in feel?
The TXT2 is just a little bit more stable and powerful, but they play very similar
@@2ndAveScents I think the Twaron makes the 2019 version have similar comfort and feel even though it is stiffer, and then the stiffness provides stability.
@@charlesliu1936 I had the 2015 version and I currently use the 2019 version, confort is great in both. The weight went up to 310, but the balance is more towards the handle, and string pattern is 16x18, much more open. Power is up a bit, control is still there (despite the open pattern), but spin is much, much higher
@@jlparcerisa Actually you went to a different racquet as evidenced by the different string pattern and weight. If you wanted the newest version, that would still be the Textreme Tour 100p V2. Same weight, same string pattern, but with twaron and a little more stiffness and swingweight.
Thank you for reviewing a racquet that you don’t sell! Your honesty and dedication to helping tennis players is appreciated, even if you don’t gain anything from it all the time. I’ve played this 18x20 racquet and personally prefer something else with a more open string-bed pattern
I used this as my everyday racquet of choice. Prince still makes some outstanding products that are too often overlooked. Just wish their distribution was better so shops like yours could more easily carry them.
Hey tennis spin, thanks for not putting ads during the damn video like everyone else on youtube
Love Prince sticks... Especially the O3 ports!
One of the best racquets ever! For me the best of the Prince line, along with the Textreme Warrior 100.. does everything so well and with a lot of spin for a 18x20 string pattern.. One of those racquets that you pick up and play..
is a 18 x 20 string pattern at 100Sq and I got 2 of them. Lucas Pouille used them before he switched to Babolat.
Using Textreme tour 290g 16x18. Amazing feel on the ball with the high SW.
Just ordered one of these. An amazing racquet for control, feel, and a nice balance between control and power
Several players I know use this racquet and they really like it. They say it is also very arm friendly.
Finally showing some love to prince. Hats off to you sir. The 2019 prince phantom pro 100p is very good as well. I got two phantom 100G LB coming in and expect the same feel but more power on the serve. Please give those a review, would love to see your impressions.
Funny I just bought one from TW, arriving tomorrow. Since I can’t demo it from any local stores. The specs looks good. Can’t wait to hit with it.
I accidentally got to play with this raquet and it became one of my daily drivers now. I like the thin frame + the head light balance. Super control and I can swing super fast for winners. Very happy to find this hidden jem.
very honest review given the fact those sticks are now only available at TW supermarket...
Need a Tennis Spin dampener on those racquets now. Prince Triple Threat Rebel is the last racquet I owned. Loved that thing.
They are great rackets. Nice feel, good control & power.
Thanks Harry! I bought this one blindly after a 15 years break from tennis. I know it’s crazy, as it’s quite demanding. But I am happy to grow on it. Now have two of them, they were at 301 and 307. I consider demoing the tour 100 310 16x18
Lucas Pouille used to play with this until his sponsorship switch to Babolat and Iga Swiatek won French Open this year with it.
Hi, I play with this racquet...it is awesome. Reminds me of the Prince Response,but easier to hit. Love the content, tennis greetings from South Africa. Wish Prince will go mainstream again. (Textreme very similar to Graphene that Head uses)
The recent 97p is the best imo. I have Blade Pro 16x19, Blade V7 18x20, Pure Strike 18x20, Ezone 98 2020, Pro Staff, and now I've switched to the Prince 97p. 320g unstrung perfect weight with its headlight balance and the 58 RA drops a little after stringing it so it is so flexy in the throat of the racket.
I wish prince would become available again outside tennis warehouse, they are still my favorite.
I dumped my clash after I tested the 95 version (textreme tour 95), best racquet ever
Exactly same situation 😀
I have the new 2019 version, and it's a good racket, similar in a way to the Head Prestige, but more powerful and a little bit more swing weight, and bigger sweet spot. I'm still experimenting with the right string setup for this and I'm almost there.
PRince rackets are amazing esp the box/P frames - i bougth the phantom 100 P this summer and it rocks
I love the Prince TT 100P in the 16x19 and the 18x20. Both are super great everywhere. I had the earlier version was very good. I prefer the crisp contact of the new ones. They are great for control, spin, power, feel and can help you win more matches. I was a devoted Wilson and Head user for year like the Babolat Strike but prefer Prince.
Great racket, it was updated in 2019
gotta try the 95. best sticks i've ever used
Ordered 2. Learned on Prince and looking to get my Prince action back on 😎
Great review
Harry, hi, finally the test we were waiting so badly, there is a model in 107 pretty interesting and, as many says, the Phantom 100 pro textreme is even better than this rather tight model... the phantom is even thinner and 50 rad... ultraflexible 16x18
I am from Brazil and I love prince's racquet. Would be nice if you reviewed the synergy cts 26 mid plus.
Sounds really good
I have my Prince Beast 100. Its the stepchild in my collection. I play with my PA then find myself go back to Beast 100 often.
I play with a Prince Beast 98. I switched to it from the Tour (Tour predated this one I believe: it’s a banana yellow). I love my Prince racquets. It’s hard for me to play with anything else.
This racket is really good!!
now you gotta do the Prince Original Graphite OS!
I have 2 matched frames of the TXT2 Tour 100P, customized to 329gr, 322mm of balance and 330 of SW. The TXT2 has 66 of stiffness, the one in the review 62. The TXT2 is reinforced at 3 and 9 to get more stability and has a little more power compered to the 2015 tour 100P. Great frames!! Love them.
What does the higher stiffness figure of 66 mean compared to 62? And what strings did you use?
The TXT2 has been reinforced at 2 and 10, that’s why it has more stiffness. The TXT has slightly more feeling, the TXT2 slightly more stability and power. I have been playing with Head tgk 263.2 for years (it’s the pro stock code of the yutek speed pro) and the Prince plays similar to me, better feeling, very good amount of spin for a 18x20. Head hawk touch my reference string, but I’m now trying Prince XR, Gamma Moto 17 could be good too
I switched to this from Vcore 98, but the 310 16 X 18 spec. It was a good move. Racquet literally does everything well with nothing super outstanding.....weight is perfect, very stable & plow through is great. The 16 X 18 is more powerful/spin friendly than the 18 X 20 pattern. Former DI Player. They should try the 16 X 18.
I am thinking about to move to it as well. From Vcore 95 did you have to put any lead on the Prince stick?
@@stevekim578 he says coming from 98.
I just switched from a very weighted vcore 95 2018 to prince phantom 97p, not much lead needed
@@stevekim578 No this racket is really great without Led. It's like a Vcore 95, but then with a bigger sweetspot and more power.
Tell coach Chris should try the donnay pro one 97.. I used this prince tour before. He'll be much happier with the donnay
I use a PRINCE Phantom 100 Pro, softer than this one, still excellent. It reminds me of my CTS Approach from the '90s.
Control Stick and very comfortable
I bought two phantom pro 100p, and I would say the QC is pretty good. Both racquets are almost identical.
Textreme was developed in Sweden about a decade ago and is a special ultra light form of carbon fibre that can be woven in different directions. I belief it is used in Formula 1 racing cars and various other applications. It has been successful in Stiga table tennis blades (made in Sweden), which I can testify. However, I don't think I would my racquet to the Prince.
Just bought one phantom a few weeks ago GREAT racquet!!
The phantom is even better
I play with this Prince and I also play with Prince Phantom 100 Pro. They are amazing racquets. Very arm friendly and has a great feel. Prince dont get the love anymore cause Pros aren’t endorsing them but they are still making great racquets
I'd love to hear your thoughts in the 2019 textreme tour 310 or the newer one with lower stiffness
this year prince also produced couple of good phantom racquets.
Yes! Have you tried the new Phantom 100G? Just switched from my O3 100X.
@@AMstringing no, but definitely would like to. I've switched to Prince Phantom 100X 18x20 recently:) and I definitely like it. Its also more an old-school, flex, control and whippy. And arm friendly, which I was looking for. Now experimenting with weight at 3and9 to have more stability.
Oh Nice I Want One, I have 2 of these Prince Phantom Pro 100P run some form of multi filament in them they are Nice
If you get chance to demo the Tour 100P, make sure the tension is 2-4 pounds lower than your normal tension. Switching from your 16x18 to 18x20 string pattern, you will notice the "boardier" feel. Lowering the tension will help reduce that feel. Good luck!
Hello I just got one of this. May I know is any modifications needed for this racket to play better?:)
I want to see a set gu vs chien
Don’t care for new rackets with lots of new specs, always use Prince!!
Can you review the Prince Response 97(the racket used by Pat Rafter)?
He used the PR660 and Prince no longer make that racquet.
Hey guys.....At Tennis Watehouse, the Tour 100L 260g is currently on Clearance for $119. Is rhis version of the Tour any good? Is it too light?
I enjoyed mine a lot, but I got wigged out by the 100 sq inch head size, and it didn't do much for me on my serve. But otherwise an excellent all-around! I'm about a 4.5, used to play D3. Now into Volkl C-10.
What strings did you have on this play test?
Are you sure about your spec. numbers? Those are the specs of the V2. You have the V1 in your hands, which I own. Of the many racquets I demoed it was my favorite by a large margin - and I tried most of the big 3s racquet lineups including Wilson (Pro Staff, Blade, Ultra), Head (Prestige, Speed, Radical), and Babolat (Strike, Aero, Drive). I also tried Yonex's Ezone 98. The Prince Textreme Tour 100p had the best "feel" by far (compare that to the brassy feel of the Babolats and the Head Radical with graphene), and it was super maneuverable (being head light - huge difference from the Wilson Blades). The 18x20 string pattern gives it great control, but it still has some power and spin due to being a 100 sq. inch.
The racquet is definitely a best in class racquet.
It's shaping up to be my favourite racket next to my Head Prestige, which I find slightly easier to manoeuvre but less power. What string setup are you happy with?
dang Gu's blessed with those calves
Does this one fit for beginners? Thanks
Wow, to think I was going to buy a Wilson Clash or Babolat Pure Aero from your store! Time to hit up Tennis Warehouse for that Prince!
Yeah you’ll be the only one using it lol
Iga cleaned up at Roland Garros with that stick
She cleaned them good with the tour 100 290g version.
Yeah, not gonna use that one😂
Try the prince phantom line!!!
Have you tried the new 100G and 107G Phantoms?
I just switched from the O3 Phantom 100X to the 100G. Love the old school cross bar with the new technology Textreme and Twaron!
I don't play with the 107G, but so far two of my customers demoed it and bought two each!
@@AMstringing no I haven't tried the 100g and 107g. I just recently switched to 97p from pure strike. I've hit with 93p and 100p and they're all great. I like the flex. 97p seemed to suit my style the best.
Got me one a few months ago! It is just great!
I have a Phantom Pro 100. It doesn’t give a solid feeling on volleys like a couple other sticks I own. Still fun to hit.
Prince Phantom 93P (18x20) they make these..
Didn't Iga win RG with the light version of this?
I had it, wasn’t great receiving a powerful serve. lacks stability and consistency on returns. Need some lead tape definitely. It has an explosive launch if u hit the right spot at serves. Ive had my aces but it’s not a keeper for me. My older Prince TT Inspire plays much better with some lead weights on. l’m a Prince fan btw.
I love my txt2 tour 100p
A balance point of 319 mm? For a 27”/685.8mm racquet?
319 is ~23mm to the grip side of the mid point 342.9mm. Seven and a half points head light.
This racquet was used by Lucas Pouille which he beat Rafael Nadal in US Open 2016 in 4th round before he switched to Babolat Pure Drive in 2021 and by Iga Swiatek when she won her first Grand Slam Roland Garros in 2020. I believe She used a lighter weight 290g before she switched to Technifibre. Since Prince still having a hard time to recover. Both players need another Sponsors. It's all about Money though, I'm sure they got better offers...
Uhh, you destroyed the reveal with that opening.
Used by Iga Swaitek
Review the pro's pro red devil strings, are they the best cheap strings?
Isospeed Baseline is the best cheap string.
@@erichuang2310 im sure its a good string but red devil is half the price
@@KreationPhotography in the US they are the same price, $40 for a reel
@@erichuang2310 ah ok. Here is 40 for the one you said and 20 for the red devil. Not surebifbits worrh the extra money.
@@KreationPhotography haha we’re splitting quarters on cost!
In what way would you say its too good for you?
take a shot everytime andrew says "honestly..."
Why don’t you make a deal with Tennis Warehouse and start selling Prince products? You might have to settle for a smaller profit margin, but I’m sure you can make up for it by selling more Wilson RFA Pro Staffs.
Do good players use a higher or lower tension?
It's all relative to the player and totally a preference thing.
Pros use anything between 65lbs (or higher) to 30lbs (or lower). You choose.
Why do you always ask Coach Gu first on every review??? Let coach Chris review it first!
Gu is better than chris
@@DanTuber is that true?
@@tea4781 hes a pro....
Gu might be the better player but I find Chris's comments more honest - Gu seems to like everything.
@@tea4781 Looking at them hit, Gu looks the better player.
This racquet delivered many aces for me but gave me elbow pain of the worst kind. Do not use Technifibre blackcode/MSV cofocus as these gave me the tears.
Sounds like the strings/tension rather than the racket.
Guy shows the first generation of Tour 100P (stiffness of 62), but analyzes the specs of the second generation (stiffness of 66) LOL. Both are great racquets though.
I play with this racquet and I really like it. For me, 55 lbs with a poly string is way too much with this racquet. I string at 47 lbs with for example Head Lynx or Babolat RPM Team. With a multi, I string at 52 lbs. I have 2.5 grams of lead tape at each side (3 and 9 o'clock) which improves stability a little.
Similar to the gravity?
Asked the same thing on tw review for this racquet (compared to gravity tour). Here's the answer:
Tennis Warehouse
This one packs a bit more power, and feels a bit more firm, and crisp. The Gravity Tour is a bit more control oriented, and a bit more comfortable. Spin is pretty close between the two, but the strings seem to be slightly more spaced on this one for a bit more spin. Troy, TW
i dont get it. a lot avarage rackets in the market now(pure aero, strike, blade etc) are 315-320mm balance UNSTRUNG. how come u consider this racket a head heavy?
Is that Iga Swiantek's racket?
She has the newer version
She uses a Prince pro stock racket which looks similar (paint job) from what I've read
I want to see Harry serve
if it's anything like his ground strokes it won't be pretty.
if he can ?
@@DanTuber I thought I was harsh on this guy.
iga swiatek won a GS with one?
Yes, the Tour 100 (290) model.
@@AMstringing but her racquet is not 290 grams. Her stick is custom.
Isn’t this what swiatek uses?
She used the Tour 100 290 16x18 custom. The specs should be 332gr, 326mm Balance and around 338 sw. But I think she is switching to the Tfight RS300 now
Good racquets but only if you like 18x20 patterns. Don't believe the lame hype about it having the same spin potential as a 16x19.
I love 18x20 rackets as they give me more control. Spin you have to find from the string type or your technique.
1.25x speed is better
Send them massages, But they will not appreciate how is first or not, not respond to massages
Is it a myth? Dont store your racquet with broken string cause it can deform the racquet, better take the string off.
first
But they will not appreciate how is first or not, they not responsive to massages
@@ahmedmoeed2127 Ah yes, massages
@@Daniel-gu5ok lol
@@ahmedmoeed2127 stfu about your "massages".
But saying "first", is really a comment?
How is everybody this guy knows a coach?
The most disappointing review from you. Sorry. I have both this racket (2015, hardly heyday of Prince) and the 2019 version. You strung it at 55lb. Prince recommends 45-55. The highest tension is for softer strings (I have Wilson NXT at 55 in this racket now and even for that, it's too high - no power), for polys, I usually strung at 45-48. With that 18x20 string pattern, you need Nadal or somebody of that physic to produce enough power with the Confidential. You didn't even bother to measure the weight and swing weight. And even got the wrong quote as those are for the 2019 version. This is RA62 and SW 321. You can just google it. This racket's number one selling point is its arm friendliness. I play 8-10 hours a week often on a full bed of poly and no issues at all. Fair enough, this you can't tell in 10 min play. Nevertheless, you either seem to be running out of material or just lazy to do your homework as you did a few months back when I subscribed to the channel.
What's your string recommendation for this? I'm trying with Vokl cyclone and x one biphase.
@@augustblood6810 I have used around a dozen strings in the TT100P but neither Volkl nor Tecnifibre X-one biphase. Based on what I read about those strings, Volkl at 50-52 lb if you are a hard hitter and 46-48 (or even lower) if you don't hit very hard. The Tecnifibre has more energy return, so perhaps 53-55 lb. But it largely depends on your style of hitting and what you like. ATP and WTA players use anything from mid 30s to mid 60s. I believe that recreational players should not go much over 50 in any racket but especially not in the TT100P which is very flexible and as such low powered. My favourites so far in this racket was Luxilon Alu P at 45lb and Dunlop Explosive Tour also at 45lb.
@@deneszoltan2160 Thanks very much for the useful information! The 2019 version is a bit stiffer, right, so has a bit more power? I'll definitely look at reducing the tension on the Vokl cyclone but I hit a flatter shot anyway so it's not that much of an issue, and I prefer high tension for the control. However I'm moving to thicker strings which will give more control and stiffness so I can drop tension a bit.
@@augustblood6810 Just experiment. Unless tennis is your living income, it's fun to try different strings and tensions. And yes, the 2019 version is slightly stiffer, has a touch more power (I had them strung with Solinco Hyper-G at 50 lb both) but it is really nothing compared to the difference in stings and tensions.
I’ve got the 2015 version strung 53/51lb, kirschbaum proline 2. Works for me! Comfortable, solid. Mine is headlight, part of the reason I got, though I added some weight bit, stock works equally well. I have a Gravity Tour, which is similar but more hollow feeling, not as classic, and more head heavy (higher sw).
