Maneuverable enough. I play it with weight 3-4g at 10 and 2 and leather grip to bring weight to 12.1 or so and sw around 325 and find it plenty stable and maneuverable. Happy to answer any other questions. Been using graphite 100 and then phantom 100G for over 8 years now.
Thanks for the offer, I need the L2 though.
Yea that's what I wanted as well. But those were listed as back ordered through September when I purchased mine
Do you find that the crossbar does anything? Also, do you find that the Phantom 100G gives you a very predictable response? I've also heard that this is a really low-powered racquet. Does the phantom ever get launchey on you?
When/where?
Probably Beast 100? Unless you get into the oversize legacy racquets. I played the Red briefly when I was a kid because my dad had one.
The warrior is a cannon. too powerful for most of us here. more powerful than a pure drive. like way more
yeah, pretty much! not sure how much difference between the camo and previous one tech wise. The one in the video is the 107g, just different cosmetics, mold layup all look to be identical.
Ripstick > Beast > Warrior > Twist > Tours > Phantom - the Twist power 100 is effortless to swing and gives solid power. The 66ra stiffness with twaron in it is perfect, which the black series 100 and 100 tours do not have in the layup. The box beam shape in areas adds control to the frame, why it plays control orientated as well.

haha yeah did not include these or oversized emblems etc
I wonder if it's the same zylon as the one used in Babolat around 2002 (?)...
haha. my guess is that it is the same material, since Zylon appears to be a proper noun, but who knows. It apparently adds stiffness.I wonder if it's the same zylon as the one used in Babolat around 2002 (?)...
Though to be honest I'm so old that when I hear/read/see zylon (I know the spelling is different) the below pops up in my head...
I ended up picking this up recently. Will have to see how it hits this weekend. This is the Graphite Phantom 97.
The racquet is very stable, I've played with a cross bar for over 7 years so I guess I can't compare much to without it. The Phantom is more stable than the previous graphite 100. Its not launchy really ever for me. I go poly main at 45lbs and a multi cross at 48lbs and it works great for me. I'm a 4.0 player.
Thanks for the insight. I'm currently demoing the phantom 100G right now with multis around 50 pounds and there's a lot of things I like about it and stuff I don't really like. The feel is fantastic and my shots are very point and shoot. It' probably the most stable racquet I've played with though and I'm not used to the head-light design and how it has a different heaviness compared to other racquets like the pure strike that I'm used to. This makes me worried about how maneuverable it is. Do you find it difficult to do reflex volleys or get the racquet in position when you're on the run with this racquet?
The joke is there's no way they could possibly be paid for this review because we all know Prince has no marketing budget
Agree (on the joke). PH tennis is legit.
Let's hope for a playtest!
Black with gold lettering gives me late 80's Mercedes Benz with gold chrome emblems and trim vibes. Love it!I ended up picking this up recently. Will have to see how it hits this weekend. This is the Graphite Phantom 97.
Damn they killed the 100G?
Confirmed with TW that they did kill it. What a bummer.

They really went all in on the color scheme. I can't see anyone buying that baby green (IYKYK) ResiTex Tour grip for any other racquet.The Zylon 100x 18x20 phantom is up on the EU site along with the 290.

It’s interesting that when I go back to TW site for 2005 or 2012 I like almost all of the paintjobs. Now it seems like there is a contest for a worst of all time
So now there isn't a single Phantom frame below 100 Sq. in? Hmm. I was expecting a 97 sq. in frame. So looks like there 100P for me....
Surprised they killed the 97 quite honestly.
