I am a big Prince fan and it sucks how little attention they get. I bought a Synergy 98 last year and I'm hoping to see some other owners pump it as well. The racquet is really one of a kind with the 18x18 string pattern that makes a good mix of spin and control. Low stiffness for arm friendliness, high swing weight for great stability and extra power. Really ticks every possible box for me. As an added perk I notice that Prince racquets, in particular the Synergy, are always on sale. I suspect the Synergy sales are too low for the line to continue but hopefully Prince continues to make these great racquets that aren't just copies of the same design all other frames are doing.
 
I'll hop on this train a bit! Been playing with mine on and off for the past month or so, and I love the racket as well. Almost everything you said, I agree with, but I feel as though there are a few things I don't like about it.

Overall, I think the racket is great, and I prefer it over plenty of other racket lines out there, but it depends on what people are looking for. I feel like its best strength is the stability/swing weight by a mile.

But using the racket, I feel that I am not a fan of the feel/power of the racket. I feel like I'm very disconnected with the ball when swinging, and if I keep my strokes the same, the racket will do its job, but my groundstrokes feel very disconnected with the ball, and to me (personally), lack of feel ends up translating to lack of control/power on my swings. Probably the same reason why babolat's pure strike line advertises strictly on the idea of feel + control.

To me, I think the racket is definitely a solid racket, and no major issues or things I hate about it, but I think most players fall into 3 categories of either craving spin (16x19), craving control (18x20), or somewhere in between which is probably why you see more16x20 rackets coming out nowadays.

Prince doesn't have the biggest fanbase (and other brands have bigger brand loyalty) and 18x18 sounds unique, but it's nothing special (more like a gimmick of someone saying "I want to try 18x18"). Again, I think the racket is overall great, but I also think plenty of other rackets are great as well, and due to that, I don't know of a single player I'd recommend this racket to and think that this is the best racket for their style of play!

Thanks for the response. I personally seek the muted in racquets. My other racquet is a blade v6 with the countervail which a lot of people hated the countervail specifically for this feel. However that one is stiffer and harder on my shoulder so I prefer the synergy. I have a feeling all racquets with low stiffness are going to have that similar disconnected feel. You are right that racquet doesn't feel revolutionary with the 18x18, very much like a 16x19 in my mind.

That's not a bad thing in my opinion, however if power racquets are you think I believe that Prince does make those as well, like the ripstick I believe, I don't know much about them since the last thing I would ever want is a power racquet.
 
Previous owner here. Probably played with it a total of 40 hours and 5 string jobs' worth of varying material, gauge and tension. I found it to pretty much behave like what is says on the tin: an arm-friendly baseliner's counterpunching stick with a decent balance of power, control and spin. That said, I have more of an all-court game and with flatter striking off both wings, including an Eastern OHBH, all of which I found a bit harder to execute, with a head-heavier balance, more of a frying-pan shape to the head and more pocketing and dwell than I ultimately prefer.

If I had to visualize a perfect player for the Synergy 98, it would be a counterpuncher with long, swipey strokes who's perhaps been using more stiff and/or lower-powered frames than he/she wants to handle, and is looking for a softer and/or slightly higher-powered option, while retaining control.

Certainly a good stick for the right player, but to me the use-case is a fairly narrow one, which is why, if I had to guess, they haven't sold well, and consequently has been marked down to ridiculously low pricing at times (as low as $69 in the recent past).

Thanks for the reply. In regards to the balance (finding it a little head heavy) did you try putting weight in the handle? Also what did you end up going with after?

Except that it's not, because the flex profile is completely different, the mass distribution is way more head-centric, as is the balance, the hoop and string bed shape are markedly more circular/square and the lengthwise beam profile is CTS. A pretty different hitting experience all the way around.

I did end up trying weight in the handle, to the tune of 2 over grips, which ended up making it about 7 points head-light strung, but it just ended up feeling more sluggish than I ultimately wanted for my biomechanics and really felt like it wanted a different swing shape than I could give it, plus it also felt like a better fit for a 2-handed backhand, and I've committed to a 1-hander. So that was that.

After the Synergy, I tried a myriad of racquets, include 2019 Tours, Phantoms, a few Babs, Heads and all three Yonex silos, and ultimately ended up on the Head Auxetic Prestige MP-L, customized up to a strung spec of ~340g, 31.5cm, 329sw, and it's worked out a lot better for my game. It's a flatter-hitter's all-court platform stick that's right in the head-lightness level that I tend to prefer (~6pts HL strung), and it takes added weight/customization very well. Only shame is that Head doesn't officially sell it in the USA, even going so far as to "prohibit" the sale and shipping of them from other continents, so we're left having to gray-market them in. Quite a PITA and enough a deterrent that, unless you really know you're a Prestige person and you really want a 16x19 option in something bigger than 95", it pretty much makes the MP-L a non-starter for most in the USA. And what a shame, as it's a total sleeper for all-court 3.5's and higher.

it has absolutely nothing in common with the beast, this is simply trolling. Might as well say a Clash 100 and Pure Drive 100 are the same because they both are 100 square inch. Actually the beast wasn't even a 98, they don't share a single statist with each other LOL

Im not trolling, Napalm. Okay 18x18 vs 16x20 (I was off on the string pattern). Nothing in common? Both are Prince, made from graphite, 98” head size and shape, etc. One is a noodle and the other stiffer.
So, have you used both?

The beast is a 100 inch. All racquets are made of graphite, some like to ******** with marketing and claim they are adding things to the graphite like "textreme" or "graphene". Stiffness is one of the defining characteristics of a racquet, it not only effects things like arm comfort it gives it a dramatically more muted feel, increased dwell time, reduced power. The other important factors in a racquet, mainly balance and swing weight are also not even close. You are literally comparing extremes, Synergy is a low power control racquet and beast is a high power racquet.
 
The main thing with modern Prince racquets I find is they have quite a specific feel and it’s usually towards the muted end of the scale. Presumably the Phantoms aren’t as much like this as they are thin beam, but I haven't tried them. The Classic Graphite 100 from around 10 years back was not muted either, but again that's a thin-beam old school frame — nice racquet.

I play more confidently with sticks that have a less muted feeling, and also prefer constant beams to the tapered beams found on many of the Prince racquets, but these are personal preferences I had to figure out through trial and error.

Also a lot of Prince frames have a very round head shape which I am not keen on. The Tour line is the one to go for if you share my preference for a more classic oval head shape.

I think it's still a great tennis brand and it would be cool to see them pushing the big brands a bit harder with genuinely competitive offerings, rather than the slightly quirky range of 'almost great' frames they have currently. That may sound a little harsh, but it's the general sense I get from the brand at the moment. For example, the Phantom 97 could have been a good opportunity to offer a direct competitor to the Blade at a lower price point, but reviews all said they made it very low powered with a small sweetspot — I don't see the point of this when there is already a mid in the line which fills that market niche.

I think it depends on the silo. Phantoms and 2019 Tours are pretty darn direct, with next to zero muting between your hand the string. Current 2022 Tours I've heard are a bit more muted. Synergy 98 is moderately muted, yes.

This, while harsh indeed, I 100% agree with. Their portfolio is filled with silos that have questionable staying power (TwistPower, Hydrogen, Ripstick, Vortex), are a bit lost (Synergy, Beast) and/or outmoded, albeit cherished (Phantom, Classic). I'm all for breaking new ground and/or protecting cult classics, but Prince seems to lack clarity in its approach, and for a brand supposedly looking to regain its form, that's not a great sign.

2019 Tour was quite string sensitive I found — felt totally numb with the wrong strings (Yonex Poly Tour Spin), but quite direct with others like Solinco Confidential. Excellent racquet, still have two of them. There's no doubting the quality of their products is very high. The DB26 Synergy reissue was a gorgeous frame that felt like a really solid piece of kit with high quality paint, came with a nice velvet bag too, don't get that from Wilson.

The ATS Tour 98 I believe got the highest ever score on TW, at least the highest ive ever seen. I think the debate of what people want in a racquet is so different. Like muted to me is more softer and less jarring on mishit which allows me to remain confident in big swings even when I'm a little off. Which is also why I like low power racquet, I go long more than anything and the worst thing is when you start not swinging out cause you feel against a big hitter you can't control things (which of course makes you play worse cause not hitting out reduces spin and increases the problem more). This is why I'm all about muted soft low power control racquets. This is particularly true when you play against someone with pro level power. The new tour line is probably highly competitive in the more conventional racquet characteristics matching up well against say the TF40, Ezone, ect. I would probably recommend that as the racquet that can suit all players needs more adequately.
 
Currently own a Prince Phantom 100x 305, but I find it sometimes lacks a bit easy power. I switched from a poly to a multi, but I haven't really got the result I am after.
Would a Prince Synergy 98 as a secundary racket complement my Phantom? I would like to switch between the two as needed.
 
@Rev-A - I think I've played both sticks long enough to give a good comparison (100X 305 for probably 50+ hours, Synergy 98 for 25+ hours).

IMHO, the only case in which the Synergy might be a good compliment is if you've weighted up your 100X with enough lead in the upper hoop to bump swing weight towards 330-ish and balance down towards 3-4pts HL, which is more of where the Synergy is in stock form. And even if that were the case, while the Synergy would offer slightly more free power and more control, and the hoop has somewhat of a similar "frying pan" shape to it, the 98" head size won't be quite as forgiving, nor will you get quite as much launch angle from the 18x18 pattern. The Synergy beam is also probably going to feel a fair bit clunkier, owing to its fairly wide CTS beam, which expands to 25mm at the tip. If you have a 2-handed backhand, I could see the Synergy having a higher chance of working, but if you have a 1-hander, I would probably pursue a more naturally head-light stick, more akin to the 100X, just with a slightly thicker beam and possibly slightly stiffer flex, without changing as many of the other specs -- something like an ATS Tour 100 310, or a spec'd-up ATS Tour 100 290.

Then again, at $79 currently (!!!!), it's just about the cheapest flyer purchase you could make, to prove whether my suspicions above are correct, or not.

Hope that helps. Any questions, feel free.

I think so. The main issue with switching from the 100x to synergy 98 is going to if you find the swing weight difficult. I have several racquets, the one I played with before the Synergy was a blade 98 16x19 which has a similar swingweight and open pattern like the 100x. I personally don't find the Synergy slower through the air and it is definitely more powerful than my blade. The 18x18 launch angle doesn't seem any lower either, it is at least as spiny as a 16x20. The only significant differences I notice are 1) arm comfort is better on the Synergy 2) more power and plough through on the Synergy. I disagree with a lot of the other concerns that Trip said but everyone is going to have thier own opinion.
 
Valuable insights, @NapalmFist. I can absolutely see how one might see some my supposed "issues" from either side of the coin. On the speed-through-the-air / maneuverability front, I shouldn't say that the Synergy is slow or clunky by any means. It does come through quite quickly (I think the rippled design of the hoop edges may help with that, too), just not perhaps as quickly as the 100X, being a thinner and partially elliptical beam. Regardless, the Synergy is still a compelling offering, especially at the borderline hilarious price of $79 a pop. Makes me want to load up on them just for the sake of it!

I had mine stung the other day and my stringer hadn't seen it before, when he looked it up and saw the price he said he was gonna snap 2 up himself. He plays with the prestige and I believe one of those extended Dunlop cx200. I would be interested in his comparisons to those since those 3 seem fairly different to me. I tried those before and the prestige(it was a 95) was difficult.
 
I do like what Prince are trying to do with the frames they are releasing. I think the company itself and their representatives need to continue connecting with the tennis community. To get back to greatness worldwide requires consistent dedication and marketing.
I haven’t tried the synergy yet or the vortex but bought quite a few phantom’s especially ones that come in a grip 5.
 
The Synergy borders on too flexible. The ball seems to get lost a little on the stringbed. Even so, I’m gonna try it again with a little tighter poly.
 
Thanks @NapalmFist and @Trip for your valuable insights and comparisons to the Phantom 100x (y). I am itching on ordering and trying the Synergy 98 out, but where I live (EUR) it's going cost a bit more (around $170 in SD) to buy it. No easy access to a demo. I think I am going to string the Phantom a few times more with different setups, while in the meantime keeping an eye on a price drop.
 
Played a match with the Prince Synergy today. To me, it was better than the Pure Strike 18x20 and Blade V8 18x20. I switched to this from my (modded) BladeTeam and was pleasantly surprised with the racquet. I still ended up loosing the match (out of practice) but I think I could switch to this one. It powerful and controllable, and has a slightly higher launch angle than the PS and Blade. The Blade had no power, even with weight up top. The Synergy didn’t need any mods.

Right on brother. I came from a blade prior to the Synergy. The Synergy is most definitely more powerful. I don't think the swing weight is difficult at all. Some people I play with weight thier racquets above 370 swing weight. Only thing I did to mine was put some silicone in the handle, which in the end was barely noticeable.

I'm actually going to put an absolute ton of lead on my synergy now, like 40-50 grams (probably 16g at 3 and 9, 8g in the throat and like 20g in the handle). Am I mad? Is there anyway to calculate or estimate what the swing weight might be after?
 
Well, there's a first and last time for everything, so give it a shot! As for calculating swing weight without a swing weight machine, you could use the TWU D-I-Y tool, to at least get a rough approximation:

Do-It-Yourself Swingweight

Do-it-yourself method of determining your racquet's swingweight, perhaps the most important racquet spec.

Use it with a VIDEO STOPWATCH app like this one (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=us.secondscount) and 240fps video. (use the same instant in the video to start the time and end the time.. example the first frame you see movement and the last frame you see movement (after 10 or 20 pendulum swings)

You results will be withing 2-3 swingweight points of a swightweight machine AND is very consistent - Ive done it atleast a 100 probably more times. I matched 4 racquets before I got my SW1 and all were a great match to each other and basically dead on to the SW1 number

Cons
1. Racquet has to be strung
2. Takes a lot of time

Tips
1. Mount high speed phone camera on a tripod
2. Make sure the top string is level
3. Measure balance, racquet length and length to string accurately

16g @ 3 & 9 approx 32SW points
8g in throat is approx 6SW points.
20g in the handle - maybe 1SW point.

So you converted a 327-333SW Synergy 98 (294 was the lowest I could find 330 was the highest @ TW so add 33SW points with 17g polt so 327-333SW)

You now have a 376-382SW Synergy 98

I dont want to call you MAD - So instead I welcome you to the exclusive 380SW club called the "TTW Avenger Initiative"

Im in the 330sw - the Land of Losers club.

I can’t imagine doing a kick second serve with SW above 330. My shoulder aches all of the sudden …

Closest thing would probably be a Wilson Blade v7 with more free power, but yet more pillowy overall behavior. My buddies who tried it nicknamed it "The Cloud". Not most people's cup of tea, but if it strikes you just right, you never know. For a $59 flyer, a fairly low risk way to find out...

There are folks out there that take a fairly pillowy frame and then stick very firm strings into them to good effect.
There is really only one big problem with this racquet - it has to compete against two of the most popular racquets on the planet; the Strike and the Blade.
 
I've just managed to get two of these on sale for £60 each. It's a great deal but I really didnt need ANOTHER tennis racket.

Anyone still using and enjoying the Synergy?
 
It’s a shame that Prince didn’t offer this frame in a griip 5. It’s just begging for some leather grip and lead under the handle treatment to turn it into a weapon;

A +1 shrink sleeve or a tourna pro gel grip would do a good job of increasing the handle size and weight
 
Just got my two Synergy's. One was 307g and the other 309g. Both are 307g once I removed the rubber band from the heavier one. I don't have any way of testing SW.

I've strung one of them up with Head velocity MLT 17 at 54lbs, and I'm really looking forward to trying it out.

I've been playing with the clash 98 v1 recently, so I imagine that they will be fairly similar.

The fact that I've managed to buy two Synergy's for less than 1 clash is great, so I'm hoping it plays well too.

I'll probably string my other one with MSV Swift.
