Updated with a more flexible beam construction, this racquet combines classic control and feel with modern all-court speed
Prince adds another chapter to the Tour 100P. As with previous versions, the new ATS Tour 100P combines the laser-like precision of a dense string pattern with user-friendly speed and outstanding feel. For 2022 Prince has given the Tour 100P a more flexible beam, resulting in even better ball feedback and less shock to the tendons. Other updates include Anti-Torque System (ATS) which features Textreme and Twaron in both the shaft and at 10 and 2 o'clock in the upper hoop. The upshot is less frame torque at impact, resulting in a more powerful and stable hitting experience. From the baseline the Tour 100P combines surgical placement with a buttery feel at impact. Full swings yield predictable results and the sub-325 swingweight makes it easy to whip up spin or reset the point with an outstretched flick. There’s also enough stability and touch for effective volleying. All in all, this update to the Tour 100P keeps a good thing going. The more flexible beam construction is a nice bonus.

Comments: Reducing the flex on this new version has given this frame an arm friendly soft feel and still kept the power, spin, and touch. I can use it with a stiff poly or a soft multi string and played well from 44 to 55 lbs tension. Solid volleys, big serves including spin, and powerfully controlled groundies. This is the frame everyone has been waiting for.

Comments: Tried the free demo and I'm glad I did. This is a great racquet for a hard driving flat game. Its natural shot is a low trajectory drive through the court. It can spin the ball with proper technique but it's not the best choice for a baseline basher. It's an all court or serve and volley weapon. Great on volleys eats up pace great direction control. Very controlled accurate groundstrokes. Serves well on slice, kicker or flat. Stability on hard flat serves excellent ,send them back with interest. Very comfortable, no high frequency vibrations. Somewhat muted but excellent feel and touch. This came strung with some experimental Prince poly that played perfect in it. I'll try the Tour 16x18 but I can't imagine they're better than this.
