[TW Staff]

Yes. There will be 2 additions to the Phantom line up in Feb of next year.

[Automatix]

Thank you Chris!

 

[Automatix]

Call me impatient but... when will we see the first scoop on these?

@Automatix
Dig around on the Japanese Prince website. T & T frames are out over there.

Could you post or PM a direct link to the Phantom models which are to be released here?
1. I don't see any new Phantoms - I do hope you did not mix up Phantoms with the new Twist frames.
2. The racquets offered by Prince Japan often are different than the ones offered in USA/EU.

 

[Hayward Butler]

I would also like to see pictures and specs of the new Phantom releases. I think a lot of Prince users would.
Come on TW and help us out.

 

[Automatix]

Come on TW and help us out.

Ditto. Looked through the japanese Prince site and found nothing. @PBODY99 didn't provide any link to the new Phantoms.

 

[PBODY99]

@ automatix
Sorry, I just use that site to watch what is going on with Prince,especially before TW distribution deal.
While the Japanese releases don't always leave the Japanese market,I like seeing what might be coming to market.

Rumor has it an 18x20 100 of some sort and a 14x18 93.

 

[Seth]

Rumor has it an 18x20 100 of some sort and a 14x18 93.

14x18 93P would mimic the POG mid a bit.

Maybe a 18x20 Phantom like the Ozone Pro Tour that Davydenko used.

 

[JOSHL]

It’s Feb TW! Whaddaya got????

 

[TW Staff]

Thank you everyone for your patience! There will be two Phantoms launching in 2-3 weeks! We don't have final specs yet (we do not have our final sampling to average) but I can give you approximate specs of what we are able to.

Phantom Pro 93P 14x18: beam width - 20/18/16, approx 12 ounces strung, 7 pts Head Light, flex in the low 60s, swing weight approx 325

Phantom Pro 100 18x20: beam width - 20/18/16, approx 11.9 ounces strung, 8-9 pts Head Light

Hope that holds you over for a couple more days!

Thanks,
Brittany, TW

 

[AA7]

Thank you Brittany. Specs are awesome.

That Pro100 is perfect weight..i bet it has much more plow and power than original... maybe making up for control with 18x20.... and great balance numbers too... I can only hope they kept the flex within couple of points...

Are those balance numbers strung as well?

 

[Donuts & Deadlifts]

Phantom Pro 100 18x20: beam width - 20/18/16, approx 11.9 ounces strung, 8-9 pts Head Light

Is the Pro 100 18x20 box beam? Any estimates on flex?

I was hoping for a 97" box beam, but the 14x18 93p sounds incredible!

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Still no 97"

 

[JOSHL]

@TW Staff thank you for the info and for taking my money. Also can you tell us if either of these frames have twaron in them?????

 

[all-court-loser]

Why no box beam 97/98 with a 16/19 or 16/20 pattern?
That is what a lot of people were waiting for!

Not just using the same molds again and bringing out another 93 and a fourth 100 in the phantom line.

 

[dnguyen]

For the first time, I want to try P93 with 14 x 18 pattern. Like the thin beams.

 

[ohiostate124]

Will there be a 5/8 grip?

 

[taylor15]

Will the play testers for the 14x18 93p be consistent with the 18x20? I would be interested in hearing Mark’s comments since he made the switch and admitted to normally playing more open patterns.

Will the Phantom Pro 100 18x20 be the box beam or the more rounded beam? @TW Staff

Rounded.

 

[AA7]

Rounded.

Sub 60 RA (18x20)

 

[AA7]

Sub 60 RA

Oh boy... now you know that's going to make everyone crazy on the forums!!

Prince's secret tennis revolution without the hype (ie Clash)... tell me that they also increased the free power a bit and I'll buy 15 of these...like a candy..

 

[atelic]

Sub 60 RA (18x20)

Completely willing to help with any testing and to video the experience... just let me know if I can help

 

[dnguyen]

Are Phantom racquets made in Japan?

 

[Automatix]

Are Phantom racquets made in Japan?

Every racquet with the exception of some Yonex frames is made in China. The end.

 

[JordanWinning]

I believe Wilson pro stock is made in Chicago and Head pro stock is made somewhere in Europe. In theory at least a few other racquets would be manufactured at the same locations

Yes, exactly!

 

[TW Staff]

[wassamara]

[JOSHL]

Dear @TW Staff my wife would like to know when you will be taking my money for both of these frames. Thanks.

@TW Staff - what would you say the power level on Pro100 18x20 vs original and/or vs TT 100 (310) or TT 100P (2015)?

2 questions if I may...
1. When will the P93 14x18 be available in TW Europe?
2. What's the lowest weight sample you measured?

Thanks!
