Well, I have finally had a chance to hit with all three of the Textreme Warrior 100's, the Warrior 100, 100T and 100L and have a few observations. I actually bought the Warrior 100 and tried it for a few matches and just could not find the consistency of my 100T Tour or 100P as I have noted in earlier posts. My go to racquet for the past year has been my 100T and more lately the 100P when the 100T seems too powerful in a match. Yesterday I spent two hours with the Warrior 100T and 100L and here is what I found. The Warrior 100T seems to work perfectly for my game. It seems to hit very much like the 100T but with slightly more power and for me at least, a bit more control on every shot. Even though it is lighter than the Warrior 100, the Warrior 100T has a similar weight to the 100T Tour. I found myself able to take a fast swing and generating a great enough amount of topspin to get the ball to drop just about anywhere on the court. It was amazing. This was strung with a Yonex Monopreme 130 string I wasn't familiar with and is a $4.75 syn gut so I don't think that was the reason for the performance. The 100L(lightest version) was similar but just a little too light for my taste. It did well but required a bit more concentration to put the ball where I wanted. The Warrior 100T just clicked for me where the regular(heavier) Warrior 100 had been inconsistent and would sail long from time to time(as I have heard from some other testers too). The beam on the 100T Warrior is slightly narrower than the regular Warrior but to the eye the rest looks much the same. All in all, after trying all the new Warrior 100's the T has seemed to work the best for my game( by a good margin) so if you get a chance give the Warrior 100T a demo. Might surprise you..it did me!
