I am interested in wilson ultra tour 97. I was Youtek Prestige MP user. It was so good, but the only one that I complained is pop(power). I hope the ultra tour has similar performance and feel with 'pop'. Is there anybody who are using ultra tour? please tell me your story about the ultra tour especially power. thank you.

Not sure about Youtek, but I have hit with the Intelligence, Flexpoint, Graphene, XT, and Touch Prestiges, and I find the Ultra to be decently more powerful than those Prestiges.
The Prestige is my favorite trap racket where people think they are hitting a big ball because it swings so heavy and feels like it blasts, but the actual resulting shot is not nearly as impressive as it feels.
If you take big swings, you will get more out of the Ultra, imo. If you are someone who just blocks the ball and doesn't take a fast cut, you might get more out of the heavier Prestige. I used to love the Prestige when I was recovering from a spine injury and couldn't twist. I blocked around and redirected all day and hit nothing but solid shots, but once I recovered and started swinging fast again, I have not found the Prestige to be powerful at all. It does nearly everything else well, but it's bottom tier for blasting.

I think Ultra Tour more power on flat shots, less power when you throw some spin in.
But keep in mind, stock UT is just 11.4oz. At 12oz it has plenty of power.

I agree with this based on my H19 vs Prestige (+ PT57a) experience

Tried the Ultra tour v 2.0 97 this past weekend.
Really like the feel and the performance of this frame!
Strung at 50lbs Lux big banger original 17 gauge. Lead at at 3 and 9 mainly.. About 25 grams in total . Hit in hot dry conditions.
Great control and mass. Good plow and superb feel.
My LM radical midplus bats now have serious Competition!
