This racquet is unreal. I hit it along with the prince ozone pro tour MP. The warrior is 97 and the ozone is 100. The TT warrior was better on volleys and groundstrokes. I found the ozone pro tour to be better on serves. The TT warrior is a racquet that will last for the next 15 or 20 years. Just hitting it along with the ozone pro tour--the performance of the TT was just unbelievable. The racquet felt "soft" yet heavy enough to deliver the kind of stroke that I wanted. The Warrior is prepared for Battle.
 
I agree that the TT Warrior belongs in some sort of racquet "Hall of Fame". I still have a customer using the frame and have many players that loved it. The specs are ideal for many players.

how was this racquet unreal? the tt warrior is a stable stick with a generous sweet spot and good spin potential, but i do not consider it unreal by any means.
the ps85 is unreal, and is a solid frame that normally does last at least 15 years. the tt warrior, not so much.

The Warrior is a racquet that has got attention from all over the world. It is a racquet that still sells heavily today. Its one of those racquets that you look at and say that it built that company. The TT Warrior is in the racquet Hall of Fame along with the Head Prestige, Wilson K Factor, WIlson Pro Staff, and Dunlop Aerogel.

Which version of the TT Warrior?

The more recent ones have been significantly lighter in weight compared to the originals.
 
Personally, I didn't care too much for it. I usually hang out around the baseline, and the warrior just didn't have that punch I needed. It's fine on other shots, but just not my thing.

Nevertheless, it is a great stick, and one that many of my friends like. I can see it being produced for a LONG time.

this pretty much KILLED any substance in your argument. the prestige racquets are a specific line of similar racquets that should indeed be considered in some sort of racquet hall of fame. this includes the PC600 and the tour. i agree with your assessment here.
now. which pro staff, k factor, and aerogel racquets are you referring to? not all prostaffs are ps 85 st vincents, not all k factors are as solid as the ps88 or ksix-one, and not all aerogels are as friendly as the 2hundreds. what you listed were technologies, not racquet lines such as:
PS 6.0 (including 85 midsize and the new k88)
PS6.1 (the original, the tour 90, the ncode 6.1, and the k factor 6.1)
the prestige line(classic, tour, intelligence all the way to the current microgel)
and the 2hundreds, which stretched all the way back to the G series.

the tt warrior is a good, accessible racquet, but isn't in the league of the timeless 6.0's the 6.1's, the prestiges, the POG's and etc.
 
First racquet i bought were the TT mid+ it feel really good on volleys and serve, but i was lacking power from the baseline, switch to head LM radical mid+ and now i have more speed.

PD: i dont feel the LM more stable on volleys but when u lead it up is DA BOMB
 
I must agree. i have been demoing many players sticks and i always come back to my Warriors. Customization and different string set-ups make this racket so versatile. a true all-court player stick.

You're right.. Remember folks lead tape makes baseline bashers that use this racquet on level playing field with other racquets that have more pop. The TT Warrior is the best customizational racquet for the dollar. Everyone now knows that the TT Warrior is one of the most versitaile racquets ever made. It makes the Prince Ozone Pro Tour look like junk.
 
I played with TT Warrior for about 6 months. Nothing special, and too light for me.

I leaded them up to 14+ oz to play, but then I found other frames I liked better.
 
i like it too, but have leaded it up and put a leathergrip on, but have still not found the right setup... i put 6grams at 3 and 9, and leather and 10grams at handle... What have you guys done? ps i like my frames fairly headlight, and ps 85 is my main stick, but i am a racketoholic ;)
 
The reason I'm intrigued by the Warrior is that I'm seeing some 5.5 tournament players still using this and getting good results. My problem is I don't know all the Warrior models like I know most other frame brands. I've got a white Warrior Triple Threat MP that Rafter supposedly used to use but don't care for it. Its the green and/or black ones that I think are special frames but I don't know the exact model names and specs. Can you tell me the exact model names and specs for the old black and green ones or post a picture? I'm assuming this is what you're playing with. There were a lot of models in the Warrior family with very different specs, hard to keep track of.

Hi,

Rafter used... maybe (PJs)

1) Prince Graphite II MP
2) Prince Prec MP
3) Prince Prec Response Ti Mp
4) Price TT Warrior MP

Price re-released the Grahpite II a few years ago..

I am sure if you search on TT you can find posts related to Pat's sticks. In any event...that is the order I remember of this frames, PJs etc.

Regards,
Steve
 
Thanks Steve, I'm not interested in those, I have the white TT Warrior already. Maybe what I'm looking for is a Triple Threat Hornet or another model in the TT line that is not a Warrior. What I know is there seems to be a green one and a black one and they are fairly light for a players frame, maybe around 10.5-11 ounces, a rare combination of control and power, 95-100" frame size. Some high level players are still playing with them and crushing the ball while still keeping it in the court. Hits a heavy ball. Again, I don't know the old Prince models so need some help there.
 
Years ago, I wanted to switch to a Prince midplus from a mid, so I demo-ed the Warrior, since my friends liked it. It was okay, but I guess its flex was too much for me. Maybe I should of lead-taped it down. Anyway, I ended up with another overlooked Prince, the NXG MidPlus---both went for $69 at TW. (I can't see paying $199 for a new stick these days.) The specs on the NXG sold me even before I bought one. (Wish it came with the paintjob from its prototype, the Prince Experimental---all black and some white lettering....)
Anyway, like I advise my friends, once you find a racquet you really like, buy at least 2 of em, and get some replacement grommets while you can, since they tend to get discontinued, just like the sticks they go on.
 
I've never used the warrior, but I still use my Precision response titanium. It's actually my favorite stick in my bag right now, though I'm looking to change soon (have for the last year and a half, though...). My other's are the spinoff from the warrior, the More Control DB 800. Okay sticks, I liked them for a while, and they don't really bother me now. Just nothing special about them anymore.

But I'm right with GS: I can't really see spending $200 on a new frame, especially cause if I replace these, I'll get two frames. And I just can't shell out $400 on two racquets right now. And the PRT will likely stay in the bag as the third backup, and I'll let the MCDB 800's have some time off.
