I have got the AI 98 but the Prince Textreme Tour 95 seems to have better feel and control. Can anyone who has the Yonex AI 98 can give me some commend between these racquets? :???:
Does anyone have Yonex AI 98 and Prince Textreme Tour 95?

I have 3 AI98s but am interested in demoing the TEx 95 and 100T. I've always been a prince guy, starting out with the Prince Jr.... then prince Pro..... Spectrum Comp, Ti Chang Longbody, EXO3 Tour..... etc. I've played, wilson, donnay, and currently Yonex, but I'd love to go back to a Prince.

I also played with the Prince exo3 rebel 98 before, but it was lack of feeling to me due to the lower stiffness. also i am worry if it was underpowered. Please tell me after u try the TEx 95! Thank you.

I have hit both. I played the Ai98 for about 6 months but never quite clicked with it and sold my pair. I own a couple of the 2013/14 Tour 95s and hit with the Textreme version a couple days ago.
The Ai has more power plays a little softer. I never quite got used to the head shape of the Ai and the fact that the sweet spot is pushed out towards the tip; that's why I dumped it. The Textreme Tour 95 has a more traditional head and sweet spot.
I found the Ai to be surprisingly solid and stable at net. I did not get a chance to volley with the Textreme Tour very much, but my older versions were great for finesse but required some effort to stick a volley with power.
Overall both are very nice racquets and you should just choose the one you feel more comfortable with.
