    Question for TW stringers...

    Does anyone have any tips to string a Prince "O" ported frame. I vaguely remember there was a "boomerang" type tool that fit into the ports and allowed the string to move while tensioning. Does TW carry this tool, and if not, do you know where I can buy one or have any suggestions on how to...

    Prince Phantom 93P 14x18 vs 18x20... let's discuss.

    I've been playing the 14x18 93P for almost a month now using Technifibre Multifeel 17g at 45 lbs. I've been playing about 2x/week and my strings as starting to show wear and fraying. I figure I've got about an hour left on them. Polys are nice for control but the multi in these frames is just...

    Any updates in colorway to Prince sneaks?

    I'm a huge fan of Prince T22s, but their colors are outdated... any chance to see a fresher line-up soon?

    Why do people use 93 instead of 100 ?

    If you put a 93 over a 100 inch frame there differences are very slight. Further you gain maneuverability and precision. I love the 93 for my one handed backhand and for volleying.

    Better Beginner Stringer: Klippermate or MiStringer?

    Klippermate is a great product. Been using them for 25 years. Easy to use and replace parts if necessary.

    Your Favorite Multi? (comparing multi strings)

    Technifibre NRG OR X-ONE BIPHASE. Both brilliant but expensive. For good bang for your buck try Technifibre Multifeel or Alphagut 2000.

    Prince 93P 14x18 on TW

    I’m a teaching pro (for frame of reference- no pun intended). I played with my new 93P 14x18s today for about 2 hours hitting with 5.0-6.0 college players. It took a little while to adjust to the smaller head but after about 20 mins I was redirecting pace with authority and cranking winners off...

    Prince Phantom 93P 14/18 vs. Yonex VCore 95 Comparison

    Is there anyone out there who has hit with both. On paper they seem to have nearly identical specs other than the pattern. Interested in your thoughts...

    Prince Phantom 93P 14x18 vs 18x20... let's discuss.

    You’re right. You know what works for your own body based on experience. I too, grew up learning on a wood frame and transitioned into steel then graphite. I played div 1 tennis in late 80s with a pro staff 85 and a POGO and never had any injury until I started to dabble in widebody and stiffer...

    Prince Phantom 93P 14x18 vs 18x20... let's discuss.

    90% of the time wrist and elbow pain is a result of mechanical issues not gear. Older frames were 100% graphite or a mix of graphite and fiberglass and absorbed shock much better than a modern frame like a Pure Aero or Pure Drive which are hollow. Get yourself a lesson with a pro to fix your...

    Racquet size: Can peak Sampras win NOW with PS 85?

    Peak Sampras moved as well or better than peak Fed, Nadal, or Djoker. He was a bigger, stronger Federer, before Federer. Sampras had/has touch which Fed has but not so much for Nadal or Djoker. Nadal/Djoker defend better, but when it comes to attacking and serving, Sampras was/is still king...

    New Phantom Pro (18x20) (320)

    You also have to take into consideration the the swing speed of the user. For example, I was swinging a lot faster when I was 21 compared to now- I'm 44. Everyone is getting too technical with swing speeds, plow through, and other crazy millimeter adjustments that are barely noticeable to...
