Comparing PCG 100 to Phantom 100G

[jbdbackfan]

TW -
The review for the Phantom 100G eluded to the similarity to the Prince Classic Graphite 100. I've been playing with the PCG 100 for the past 6 years and the racquets are starting to wear down bad. Looking to better understand how the Phantom 100G compares, and perhaps what is better/worst in certain categories to the PCG 100? I have my PCG 100's weighted up at 10 and 2 to add about 3 grams. Appreciate any insight from various playtesters.

I think the Phantom 100G is by far going to be the closest option for you to transition into. The playability and specs are pretty close between the two. Tough to say what the RA is on your current racquets but it will have dropped some due to stringing and use. Either way, I think the big advantage to both is that they offer a lot of control and spin which gives the player lots of encouragement to attack the ball without fear of over hitting. I really like the touch/feel I get with the Phantom 100G and remember enjoying that with the PCG 100 -- although it has been many years since I've hit it. I'd strongly recommend a demo and weight it up to match your current set up. I think you'll find you can move into the Phantom 100G without missing a beat.
