ATS Textreme Tour 98 vs newest Phantom
- Thread starter JayZi
- Start date
In stock form, you're going to get a bit more power, lateral stability and heaviness of ball out of the ATS 98. Overall precision might be more of a wash. In general, the ATS will be a bit more of a "meat mallet", the Phantoms a bit more open, airy and creative. For modern singles around or over 3.5-ish, the ATS is the better stick for most players IMHO. For doubles or casual / older-school singles, the Phantoms are more justifiable.
TL;DR - I see you keep posting somewhat random questions about certain frames lately (which is fine, by the way), but I sense you're looking for some overall guidance. Why don't you make a general help thread, describing yourself as a player, what you've been playing with (both racquet and strings), what you're struggling with or would like more of in your setup, and we can try and give you guidance based on that.

Thank You for Your help
About me and topics for sure it is a good option but day by day comes to my mind dofferent questions and I'm so curious what really big racket heads could tell me
I now what I am looking for (just exactly bought the ATS Tour 98 planning to increase a little bit of SW) but the gemeral need it is to really like to know how the market is like, how much different racket are different to each other, if we can group certain rackets to one bigger group and why maybe why not and so one love to have really deep sense of technical specs, corelations and physics of many frames, strings setups and the best possible answer are the rackets professionalists are there so general to prove my hypothesis wrong or positive

Trip gonna get you straight. What a guy!
I agree with what he’s said about the 2 Princes (sing it in your head)
Bring it to heart
@JayZi - So you already have an ATS Tour 98. That's good. It's a nice racquet, and for most players in most scenarios, switching to a 100" Phantom isn't going to give you all that much more of anything. They might be a bit more forgiving, and/or offer a bit more easy spin, but not much so. If you really want to try one just to see, I would probably recommend the 100X 305 16x18 or 100P, over the 100X 18x20, for familiarity in weight and openness of pattern.
But when You have to compare diferent lines of Prince rackets You found them to have much difference between each other or just plain marketing?
Moreover the Prince feel is some how the original Wilson ProStaff kind of feel or more Head Auxetic kind of feel or maybe the woodish feel it is possible to describe it it that way?
