Prince Classic Graphite 100 vs current Prince offerings

I have a PCG 100 that I have started hitting with and I must say its a bit addictive. Something about the feel; I don't know what it is or how to describe it but it feels right; its like the body is super flexy and for me feels way softer than its RA. However, they don't make it anymore. For those of you Prince experts, which of the current offerings will "feel" closest to the PCG?
thanks

Probably the Phantom Pro 100P.

Admittedly the Phantom Pro 93P is the most addictive racquet I've used recently amongst their current offerings (I've tried the Phantom 100, Textreme tour 100T, Phantom Pro 100P, Phantom 93P and PCG 107). Just a beautifully balanced stick that does everything well.

I have a PCG 100 and a new Phantom Pro 100p. I've played with the PCG 100 extensively, and only maybe 4 hours total overall with the Pro 100p, but I prefer the Pro 100p. I think it has more solid plowthrough than the PCG 100 if both were in stock form, but I feel the 100p is softer and flexier. The 100p also has a more noticeable ball pocketing feel than the PCG 100, in my opinion.

I enjoyed my PCG 100s but could not keep strings in them. I also had several older POG 4 stripe OS around and they are hard to beat. I eventually left the 100s because the string pattern just cause me to break too many strings and I do not use poly. It was a great frame. My prince tour 1820 and the textream 100p are better in almost every department.

PCG definitely burns through the strings. I don't mind poly in general, but I did not like a full bed in the PCG even at really low tensions. It plays better with multi or yes, even syn gut.

What about the 107? I've always want to try one, but am scared away by the static and swing weights. Is the feel similar to the 100?

Not sure about current one but I loved playing with my for stripes. I could play with them in the swing weight was not that bad. They always felt a little clumsy to me so I would play with them a while and then once I really got my eye on the ball I would usually switch to something a little smaller. I finally sold them because I kept going back to them. I am trying to convince a friend of mine right now to leave his Janik’s Pro and go to the 107. I think it is just a great all-around stick. The static wait never bother me much I think it was more the fine points of serving that felt a little bit clumsy for me.I can tell you that there was no comparison as far as stock and plow through. I needed weight on the 100 without a doubt

I've dusted off my PCG 107 (I.E. the 2014 model POG OS with the white lettering). If I'm not mistaken (I haven't played with the older/current T-W versions in a while), that one is a little lower static weight, and has more pop.

Standard length - it’s from 2015, but hasn’t been used at all for the last 6-7 years. Kept it for sentimental reasons
