Prince updates the Tour 100 (310) with a softer feel and a new material technology but keeps the controllable power and spin-friendly targeting of the previous generation. Like our favorite modern player’s racquet, the ATS Tour 100 (310) rewards aggressive players with the precision to swing big and load the ball with pace and spin. For 2022, Prince gives the Tour 100 a more flexible beam, resulting in even better ball feedback along with 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 100 (310) feels stable when redirecting higher levels of pace. The open 16x18 pattern translates into easy spin, and full swings are rewarded with more than enough power to close out points. It also feels solid at net where the touch is outstanding. All in all, with its controllable power and great feel, this update has impressive "out of the box" playability.  The fact that it comes with a more flexible and arm-friendly beam construction is a nice bonus.
