I've been looking for a good solid sub 12oz frame recently as I age I am not as quick as I once was. Most tweeners I tried played way too hollow and had too much power. Tried the tour 100P this summer 18 x 20 and liked it, but ended up giving it to my wife as she needed a frame for the summer. I liked it, but felt it was actually a little low powered for what I was looking for. My 15 year old son is now using it as he has just stared playing tennis and he loves it. I had his bag in my car and a buddy called me to play last minute so I went out n the court with the Prince and I was very delighted with the way it played. I have it strung with vs gut 17g at 55# and I played some of my best tennis in a while with this frame. Felt very solid with a good size sweet spot, came around fast, but still feels substantial enough for my 1HBH and it had plenty of plow. Launch angle is lower than my Becker melbournes, but Once I adjusted, I got plenty of spin and good depth. I felt like I could rally all day with this frame. Serves were easy to place with pace and spin and the frame was very easy on my arm. Where I really love this frame is at net. Punch and touch volleys are right there. I see a lot of players using the 95 tour, but not many using the 100. I tried the 95 over the summer and did not like it at all. I m going to play a match later this week against a solid 4.5 and I am going to use the tour100P and see how I hold up with it. It does not feel that much lighter in hand than my Melbournes ( which are 12.6 oz 6 points HL) Tour is 11.9 strung, but it comes around very nicely with just the right amount of swing weight, and I was serving and volleying quite a bit without issue. This one is a real sleeper and should get more attention for players who like player frames but in a little lighter weight than most true players frames come in at.
