Phenomenal comfort. Controllable Power. Outstanding Price
Prince Premier Control features a firm tri-core construction inside a bed of very soft and pliable filaments. The result is a versatile multifilament that combines comfort with an impressive level of control. This is a great string for any player who prefers a soft, arm-friendly response but wants easy targeting on big cuts.

Great stringGreat string at a great price. I get very good spin with this string and can hit with power as well.

Reliable stringI liked the feel on it. It’s definitely a good value string if you don’t want to drop 20$ for a different multifilament

Pretty good performanceNot great like a 5, and barely a 4, this string is meh, it does the job, but it doesn't have exciting pop or control to it.

value string - no doubtThe string is not extremely soft nor hard. It feels comfortable and has good control. I can direct the shots. I don't feel any impact on my arm with 56 pounds. It's maybe not the best control string, maybe not the best protection string, but is best for its value. For the price, this is a value string winner. I have 40 years of tennis experience and used to be a USTA 4.5 player

Prince Premier Control string 16String works great. Much less expensive than the Tecnifibre that I had been using. I had it strung a little too tightly so still working into the perfect tension.

Exceptional cross for hybrids… great value This string plays okay as a full bed. It’s solid on most aspects of playability. However, my favorite use for this one is as a cross in hybrids with a stiffer poly as the main. My two favorite setups are mains of Luxilon 4G or Solinco Confidential with this as the cross. This setup plays as sharper/better than Wilson Duo options and the Prince outer casing is much more resilient. It allows for better snap back of the poly mains and the Prince lasts longer than other multis.

Low vibrationA good choice for "string breakers"

Good value stringPPC is one of the best value strings that I have used. It’s not as slick as head velocity but it is not nearly as muted as Velocity. For the price, the control, tension maintenance and spin that this string offers is unparalleled.

It Plays as advertised....A very comfortable to hit with string. Pockets ball nicely. maintains tension exceptionally well and is durable as heck. I was looking for a low powered multi- with feel, and comfort. It delivered on that and more. Used on a Prince XO3 Rebel 98 and Prince O3 Beast.98.
Great control and powerStrung this in Prince Warrior 100 @ 57 lbs. Perfection. Adds control to full swings on forehands and backhands...keeps the ball inside. Great for hammering serves 100 mph+.
great multi optionI played with the 16G full bed as well as mains paired with a slick poly cross.
Very comfortable, controlled with low power for a multi; a bit crisper in a hybrid with poly with good feel. Tension: low 50s FB and ~50/46 hybrid. Decent durability: ~8-10 hours for me playing singles at 4-4.5 level.
Teaching ProGreat price. Comfortable string with good control. Easy on the arm. Hybrid this in the crosses.
NY Teaching ProGood String. Not as lively which gives it some good control for a comfortable string.
Great value for the price.
Great stringA great low powered multifilament, like others have stated, that can allow you to customize your racquet.
Great MultifilamentThis is a great string with a nice blend of power and control. Strung it up at 55 lbs and felt confident in all my shots.
Previous Feedback
Comments: Great string. Low powered multi that is very comfortable. I would compare it to Head Velocity MLT and Tecnifibre Multifeel. I would say it is slightly more control oriented than the other two, but possibly less spin. Likely would be great for flat hitters. Likely needs to be strung a few pounds lower than other higher powered multis (i.e. NRG2, etc). Great value as well- i prefer it over Head Velocity and Multifeel these days when I am looking for a multi. Another option would be Quasi Gut Armor, which is also very good (incredibly comfortable string).

Comments: These strings take a session or two to settle in. At the start the ball takes off a bit, but after it settles in, it pockets nicely and starts to feel more low powered. It is a very comfortable string and provides excellent ball feel and feedback. I can almost feel the mains grab the ball and snapping back (it felt that good to me). Strung in a full bed, I have no need for a dampener. There are a lot of comfortable strings out there and this is one of them, but I have yet to use one that gave me such a connected feel. This could be my new go-to string.
From: Alex, 7/15/21
Comments: These multifilament strings are low powered and have a good feel that I'm connected to the ball. I only tried these strings as a main with Volkl Cyclone in the crosses. I hit with moderate spin, three times a week for a month and the strings didn't break. This is a great option if you want a control, soft enough, crisp multifilaments in the mains.
From: Damian, 8/16/20
Comments: The other reviews weren't kidding when they say this string is low powered. It feels as low powered as a full-bed of co-poly. If you're used to the feel and power of synthetic gut I'd lower the tension to compensate.
From:Anonymous, 6/21/18
Comments: This is a very nice multifilament. Whereas most multis provide too much power, this one still provides the benefits of a multi while its low powered response keeps your balls in the court.
From:Eric, 4/28/18
Comments: Put it in my Prince Graphite 93 and strung it at 50 lbs. Crisp, yet buttery smooth/soft. Great string to replace natural gut for arm preservation. I'm a former D1 College player.
From:Jerry, 3/13/18
Comments: A supple multi that has great response and feel. Great tension maintenance and average durability. I'm a 4.5 player and have it strung on a Head Extreme Pro strung at 68-65 pounds.
From:Phillip, 6/4/17
Comments: Had this string at 59 lbs in a Prince Tour 100 and it had a lot of movement. Didn't feel like I had control. I will be cutting it out.
From:Tom, 2/3/17
Comments: Great all-around string! Perfect balance of controllable power, above average spin and tension maintenance, durability and comfort. I love a string that stays consistent from first hit to the last. You'll know when it's time to restring when it gets a little stiffer feeling. I usually average 40 hours in an open 16x19 string pattern. This is my favorite multifilament next to Technifibre X1 Biphase.
From:Mike, 9/14
Comments: Exceptional string for the price. Very little slippage at 65lbs even in the Prince 100T ESP.
