They will still offer ports in other frames.

Will the US/Europe version be heavier than the specs for the Japan one? The Japan market one seems rather light, especially to compete with the PS97 / RF97.
Is the update to the ported Tour 100 16 x 18 coming soon? I'm moving back to that stick, but may hold off on ordering if the update is very early 2015.

I'm not fluent, but from what I could tell. These were some quotes I got out of the video:
"Those cats on the TW message board are gonna eat this up!"
"Mine is defective! Someone forgot to punch the big holes in the hoop!"
"Mine looks like an updated Diablo with fancier paint"
"This Green Lantern stick is the Bomb! I don't know why people need larger head sizes. BreakPoint says so!"
"Did you see where they finally found a guy that liked the Graphene Prestige MP? Then they banned him!"
"Granville says that this is the Scalpel with a leather grip added."
"Chris and Troy says it needs more weight!"
"Britt still likes her PDR better and this isn't close to her RF97A!"
"Andy says he likes this version much better without the ports!"

Love the quotes Toby! :lol:

No, it's not going to be updated this season.

Definitely, more pop than the Tour 95 (formerly the Rebel 95).
More pop and just generally a more responsive stick.
Do you think a long time Diablo mid user might be happy with this new stick? I could never gel with the rebel 95.

Responsive in what way?

What was your main issue with the Rebel?
Mostly the ball I hit with the Rebel was substantially less "heavy" then with the diablo. My longtime hitting partner said that I was easier to play when I used the rebel versus when I used the diablo. The rebel and the diablo were weighted, swingweighted and strung the same. I tried dropping the tension on the rebel, but had no luck, maybe the rebel was too soft.

I think the new Tour Pro 95 will be better for you, then. Between the 16x19 pattern, and the TeXtreme update, you'll be able to hit a bigger ball.
Thanks for the info, hope it takes weight well. Are there any true mids coming from Prince in the future?
themitchmann
Hall of Fame
No problem. No mids that I know off.
Well the grommets help for sure compared to the ports to give a less muted feel. The frame itself has a livelier response than the existing tour 95.

I have to agree. The feel is less muted, but still comfortable. A livelier 95 is exactly what I've been looking for.

Unfortunately prince is moving away from mids. I would stock up on 18x20 mids.

The Warrior Pro 100 works really nicely with my swing. I was so surprised I liked it as much as I did considering I prefer thin beams.
The Tour Pro 100 is awesome for hitting topspin shot all day from the baseline.

i was hoping that this would be similar to a redondo Mid Just with the open pattern.But Tyler here AKA JImmy" saying there at a 288 Swing weight? Idd have to add a whole reel of lead just to get them to my Volkl X10 MId in stock form.I so desperatly want to love this stick.But that weight is good For Dora the explorer,Not me.This will really suck if Prince pumps out a beauty like this and ends up being a toothpick.I hope someone here can list the specs so i can see for myself what is Going on.Really is a beauty.Like i said make it a redondomid spec with a 16x19 i'll retire using these.Along with my Volkl PB&X10's Vcore89,WPS85's PK redondo...Heavy and soft with a 10pt HL 16x19 I buy them all.
Plus my last name is Prince wish they had something in my range.

All of my racquets are in 330-350 grams range, but honestly, I would switch to something lighter. Especially considering the trend among ATP players to keep static weight under 340 grams

288 is unstrung. Should end up 315 to 320, depending on your strings.

JImmy? Maybe you have me confused with someone else. But, I've been called worse, for sure.
Sweet. 315-320 is perfect for me. Can't wait to try the new Prince racquets. The paint jobs alone are enough to get me to buy a few.

Tour Pro 100 and Warrior Pro 100 have unstrung 290 SW, so this is right in that range.

A little strange technology??? Still can't understand what Prince try to achieve...
Seems like The new material will make rackets lighter but most of people has their preferred swingweight so making lighter rackets might not have any benefit...
I understand XR stands for Extra response but not sure what means by Extra response. We won't see XR-J rackets because it might be japanese exclusive.
Also Prince should make Sony sensor ready buttcap like Yonex's buttcap so it can remove buttcap without tools.

One of the things I like so much with the current Prince racquets is the low stiffness ratings. I like a soft, flexy racquet. I'm hoping that the Textreme doesn't stiffen the new frames too much, losing that buttery feel that you get from sticks in the Tour line.
Either way, if the paintjobs don't change, these racquets will sell for sheer aesthetic value alone.

I meant trap door.
Yonex's trap door does not require any tool. just push down and open the trap door but Prince trap door need something to put then open the trap door.
