Choosing between the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98 vs 100

[HPTennis]

Hey there! I currently play with a Prince Textreme Tour 100 (310) (2019) and I love it! I'm struggling to find it now in grip size 3 though & figured I may give the new versions a go.

I would typically just gravitate towards the 100 again but the playtesters comments on manoeuvrability have concerned me somewhat.

The Tour 100 (310) feels manoeuvrable as it's so head light, and it surprised me to hear concerns in the reviews when the new version has the same balance point (12.59cm).

People who have played with both, what would you suggest? I'd love to demo them both but that's very difficult in the UK (after Brexit we can no longer use Tennis Warehouse for demoes either).

Cheers!

The new ATS TT's are a hybrid in feel of the 2015's and 2019's, with a flexier throat combined with a more rigid hoop, lower twist weight, and slightly higher swing weight across the board. Balance has been kept the same, so they'll swing just about as easily, though they will be slightly more polarized in stock form -- not enough to drastically effect the swing mechanics of those used to the 2019, but you may feel it.

If you've come to enjoy the 2019, I would try your best to stock up on Grip 3's, even if you have to go second-hand, then if you can't demo the new ones, make a flyer purchase when discounting hits sooner or later.

Why not the 100P
I tried all three and ended up with it.

Every one of us is different.
I think we need more context, always, when trying to help guide others.
