Sorry to sound like a broken record but...
Couldn't you bring in some of the Japanese Gen. 3 white cosmetic ATS TT95s/100s? Do a limited release or something?
I'd soo buy a TT95...

jmacdaununder2,

I can definitely pass along your request. However, I will note that we don't have access to all Japanese models.

Thanks,
Brittany, TW

Brittany, I see that the Prince Original Graphite 107 is listed on the TW website as a best seller, just wondering if there are any plans to bring back more of the classic l

Brittany,

Do you know if there are any plans for Prince to make any additions to the classic line of rackets? I see that the POG 107 is listed on the TW website as a best seller. Thank you.

There is more of a classic racquet expected to relaunch towards the end of the year this year. However, I can't release any specific details at this time. Is there any racquets you would be interested in bringing back? I can always pass along your feedback.

Thanks,
Brittany, TW

Thanks Brittany and yes, I am specifically interested in a possible return of the POG mid 93. Thank you.

A LIGHTLY USED G3 white TT95 ATS Japanese model just sold on the Bay for $400 Aud (nearly $300 USD) - it only seemed to be up for a day or so too; it seems like such a missed retail opportunity to not be selling this racquet when even used ones are going for near prostock prices. :rolleyes:

Could You at least say if it's more in line a "classic players frame" (as defined in the previous century - think thin beam, smaller headsize etc.) or more in the tweener alley?

The original 03 tour in a longbody. Something that approximates what the best players on tour actually wanted to use when Prince was still semi-popular at the top of the game with players like Coria, Ferrero, and Davydenko. A denser string pattern than their open 16x18 would be really nice.

No offense but it's hard to take your opinions seriously when you demand in every thread possible that thin beamed heavy mid racquets manufactured in USA be sold...

none taken. because i am obsessed with thin beam that cna cut through the air for chip and charge. I am a serve and volleyer. I weld 13 oz of fischer vaccum pro 90.

Do you know if the whole current Tour line will be updated or only some racquets? Will they update both Tour 100 310 and Tour 100p?

Automatix,

Closer to classic, but not a traditional midsize player's frame. Approximate specs are 19mm beam, sub 64-RA, 310g & 31cm unstrung. Open pattern. Stay tuned.

Uh-oh, that sounds interesting!
- Is it coming to Europe as well?
Thanks in advance!

I realized that the only well know professional player endorsing a Prince racquet (Isner) is using a Beast, which has been discontinued. What a bad marketing...
Again and again, Prince seem to do whatever possible to precipitate its fall. That's almost suicidal behavior.

Just between you and I, Yes. And yes too Billkid on the 100-310 & P. There may even be a new head size. Stay tuned.The feel is worth the wait.

Saw and forgot about this thread awhile back. Glad I found it again. This is finally some extremely exciting news! :giggle: Was disappointed I hadn't heard anything yet before well into the new year. Looks really nice and promising. The new potential headsize is fantastic news! Hope it lands well for Prince! Glad the 100P is still going.

Looks like it'll still be a little more of a wait but this is great to hear. Interested is seeing that 19mm more classic style frame later too.

Would also like to see a 18x20 Hybrid Tour style frame re-release. With more of a box beam for me, and optional traditional style side string inserts like in the Bryan Bros ltd edition Ignite frame.

Maybe it could help expand the O-port audience for those who don't want ports in the top mains? But still look different and increase Prince's presence? Also no need to bother worrying about changes in stringing it?

I thought that Prince would do an O3 Diablo Tour but that never happened....

Never played any of the Diablos sadly. Specs didn't seem to line up for me. I would have guessed it would be because it was too thin but they made the Phantom 100 O3. And that was very soft and noodley.

Shame there aren't many O-port frames with more of a flat beam, or tighter 18x20 patterns in general.

This is the racquet I'm talking about (link from TW Europe).

Hoping they either launch this one for the first time in the US, or an updated model, which would be even better!

That is an awesome stick! The one I like has "tattoos" on it and comes in 2 weights one which I can customize the other a tad heavier. The bag is the bomb too. But let's keep that a secret!

I think they're the same racquet but with different graphics due to the partnership with Hydrogen.

I'm usually not a fan of the Hydrogen style, but actually like the tatoo look, even if I don't think racquet cosmetics matter that much.

I agree. They don't mater at all from a performance standpoint but I think they look pretty cool.
