This frame has it all!
Controllable Power,Spin,Good touch and feeling, fast swing...All in one!

Ditto the Prince Textreme Tour 100P - has surprising stability for such a light weight. The 18x20 is open so spin generation is easy if you can maintain racket head speed. It’s also a comfortable ride and on sale now the Twaron versions are released. I play it and it’s great all round. Haven’t hit the Speed 360 but I have hit older models and they were less powerful and stiffer.

I am currently trying the 93p again but not because I don't like the tt 100p. I have three of them and if i can't play better with the 93p after a few weeks I will go back to them for the coming league seasons. I had tried the 93ps once and felt they were not forgiving enough for me. Just had to try them one more time (it is a sickness I know).
Anyway, I have played all of the older prince frames, POGs of all types, graphite pro of both sizes and more. I tried the TT100p about a year ago and I did not gel with it. Felt strange to me...muted but yet crisp. I decided to stick with my 100 tour 18/20s with the ports (which I have had for a few years now). Eventually I decided I was tired of stringing the damn ports so I just bought three TT 100p's after demoing all of the other phantoms. I like the head shape of the Tts better than the round shape of the phantoms (excluding the 93p). Once I figured out that they needed a lot of lead,for me, and that they needed to be strung on the low end of their tolerance, they played really well. No weakness in that frame at all. I do not love the beam width but after I hit with them a month or so I no longer noticed it...yes, less mishits. I do not find them overly powerful at all and now that I have dialed back the string tension I think they are extremely plush. Mine weigh 12.4 and are probably 11 pts headlight there abouts... I did not want to add more lead because I have it at three and nine going almost to 1 and 11. Still easy to swing with that balance. I want to attack more this year so I am giving the 93p a go because of how well I can dial in approach shots and volleys. I have those leaded up a bit for stability and it seems as though I am starting to dial them in. I played my best tennis 10 years ago with a Becker 11 mid and the 93p reminds me a lot of that stick. I am 49 now though and it remains to be seen if I can be more effective with the slightly smaller head. By the way, I found the tt100p much easier to play with than the 95 for some reason. I have never hit with the head but there is no need for me to do that. I think these prince frames are the most comfy out there.

Currently using head 360 pro, previously rf97 and dunlop bio 200. Racket is underpowered at anytjinh above 53lb with poly. Currently using full poly somewhere around 48-50lb. Plenty of power at that tension - large sweet spot and oads of spin. Downside.... it's only average for vollies and average for slice. It's a very manouverable racket great for serve return. Suits someone that likes to attack and hits top spin on both sides... much better rackets for serve volley. Price sounds great though never used a price for 20 years. Interestingly I got a head 630 cheap, £30, as used by Murray soderling giles simon etc.... took me a set to dial in and then started playing some unreal tennis, just not easy to get a hold of. Slice Billy and drops are the best I've ever hit. It's also solid off the ground and amazing for short low ball.....

actually i think quite a few people here want your feedback on these 2.
after another comparison day, I think I am sold on the Speed Pro.
I found this racquet more stable both at the baseline and at the net.
TT100P is definitely more maneuverable but the Speed Pro seems to work better for my game.
Thanks for the feedback.
how would you compare 2 in terms of power and control?
And which 18x20 is denser ?

Underwhelmed by the Head. I bought the Prince. The Prince did well in every department; the Head's dense string pattern doesn't much grip the ball and gives it a lower ball trajectory which doesn't help my game. A little disappoiointed by this, sicne long long ago I used the Head Graphite Edge.
while these racquets feel very similar, Head is a little more powerful while Prince offer more control.
I honestly didnt compare string density and racquets are already boxed and on the way back to TW.
it seemed like I was able to generate more topspin with the Head but that could have been because of the different strings
Difficult. I just bought the 360 pro because I could get it cheap in a trade deal. Curious to see how it plays compared to the Ultra tour. I cant seem to find the prince at a reasonable price, otherwise I would have bought that already to try. Sounds like an interesting frame.
