    Blade V8 Official Thread.

    Where did you see the stiffness rating for the 100 v8? Wilson's site doesn't show it. I'm very interested in either this one or the Pro Staff 100 six one as both are in my wheel house but a 69 RA is a deal breaker. Thanks

    New prince tt100(310) and tt95.

    Getting the latest and greatest likely doesn't mean much to my game but we are rackaholics. Prince just selling 1 line (Phantoms) and some one-offs since Beasts and Tours looks to be discontinued in the US is a serious bummer. I can stock up but eventually I'll be playing with something that...

    New prince tt100(310) and tt95.

    That's disappointing, well reviewed line with what appears to be loyal following. I think its the best Prince has to offer and not bringing it over means to me the end of my Prince usage and on to something else.

    New prince tt100(310) and tt95.

    Are we talking about not bring over the Japanese version of the Tour or are we saying there may not be a U.S follow to the Tour?

    Yeah. For me, Wilson was like Nike, and Prince was like Reebok. Yeah. For me, Wilson was like Nike, and Prince was like Reebok. I think that is a good analogy, being someone old enough to know Prince when they were top dog I have a different view point. For younger folks who didn't that era...

    Yonex VCORE series 2018

    I stuffed mine with tungsten in the buttcap and replaced the grip with Wilson ShockShield also added 3g at 3 and 9. May add some more weight to the hoop but it plays pretty well.

    Did the more muted feel of O3 ports affect your control/touch/feel in an noticeable way?

    Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Thread

    Yes it is, I bought the 290 added a leather grip and added tungsten putty in the handle. Plays the same but you get some more customization options.

    Racquet Brand Rankings (In Your Opinion)

    1. Prince - Under marketed. All their lines compete very well with the competition but at a better price and arm comfort without being overly muted. 2. Yonex - solid performing racquets, nice variety and QC is very good. Lately they have been getting stiffer so that is a bit of a concern. 3...

    When was Prince Textreme Beast line introduced?

    If its within a month you may want to inquire about a price adjustment. I've gotten the difference for purchases that have gone on sales after I've bought it. The Beast line is not quite my spec but dang I may still need to pick up a 98.

    This is what I did, put on a leather grip, add Tungsten putty in the buttcap and my 290 is spec'd very similarly now to the 310.

    Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Thread

    I don't believe Prince made a previous 310 version. The 18x20 one is very similar too to the 2015 model. The 2015 (orange trim) 16x18 Tour 100T and 100L are closest to the new 100L and 100 290, they differ a bit in beam thickness and weight. But no there wasn't a previous 310 model.

    Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Thread

    I did want the leather grip and after hitting with both they play very similar. I just wanted to be able to take some weight off if wanted to. I think I'd have been very happy with the 310 as well.

    Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) Thread

    I demoed the 310 and like it a lot but I didn't find it to be the most aerodynamic which gave me concern about its maneuverability after adding a leather grip, overgrip and dampener it might be too much. So I bought the 290 and have been very happy. The nice feel, large sweetspot is there it...

    Prince Textreme Tour 100P (310g, 18x20)

    I'm considering the 290g version and customizing it up to the 310g specs, the 310 specs are in my wheelhouse but near the upper end. I like the idea of being able to bring it down if needed. Question I have is would it really be the same?? Same feel? The Prince power level on the 310 is 825 and...

    Prince Phantom

    I'm an O Ported Phantom player. I mess with other sticks looking to get something similar but with more power. But I keep coming back to my Phantom, power on server is the only con for me even then I'm more consistent with more movement on the ball so its not much of a con.

    The most comfortable racket you've played with?

    I have had a Blade 104 2015, currently own Volkl Super G but the Phantom 100 is easily the most comfortable.

    Racket for my 11 year old son

    I have a 11yr old boy and moved him from a 26in junior rac to a the Wilson Ultra L. While he initially didn't like it he is doing fine now. I'd recommend adding weight to the Wilson UL or Ezone lite if you go with that one and play around with customization. I think the 9.x oz or low 10oz are...

    Low Powered, Head-Light, Arm-Friendly Rackets?

    What racquet do you currently have? There are comfortable racquets and then there is Volkl's, Prince Phantoms types that are on a whole nother level of comfort. Prince Phantom, Volkl VSense V1 Pro are 2 good ones to try.

    Prince Phantom

    6th time for me on the court with the Phantom, I get the potential for hitting long with the FH and floating slices. For a very flexy frame the ball seems jumps off the racquet if hit at certain angles, hard to describe like I'm hitting it with a baseball bat very solid. I"m getting used to it...

    Prince Phantom

    I just check too and heard it might be a couple of more weeks. This "new" racquet doesn't feel very new when its been available in some places for almost a year now. For a US company to release it dead last in its home country is a shame.

    Racquet for a 10 year old

    My 10 year old plays green dot, he started playing at 8 with a 23in. I made a big jump to a 26in aluminum at 9, it was a bit long for Red Ball which hurt his maneuverability a bit but not badly. He is currently using a 26in Pro Staff with a soft poly and doing great btw he is a shorty. IMO...

    Any feedback on the Prince Textreme Warrior 100?

    If Prince is no more than I would expect TW to not get involved, I mean what's the point?? To sell remaining inventory. I wish TW/Prince would make announcement one way or another. I need to know whether to stock up or look forward to Textreme 2018's :)
