Updated with a more flexible beam construction, this racquet combines classic control and feel with modern all-court speed
Prince adds another chapter to the Tour 100P. As with previous versions, the new ATS Tour 100P combines the laser-like precision of a dense string pattern with user-friendly speed and outstanding feel. For 2022 Prince has given the Tour 100P a more flexible beam, resulting in even better ball feedback and less shock to the tendons. Other updates include Anti-Torque System (ATS) which features Textreme and Twaron in both the shaft and at 10 and 2 o'clock in the upper hoop. The upshot is less frame torque at impact, resulting in a more powerful and stable hitting experience. From the baseline the Tour 100P combines surgical placement with a buttery feel at impact. Full swings yield predictable results and the sub-325 swingweight makes it easy to whip up spin or reset the point with an outstretched flick. There’s also enough stability and touch for effective volleying. All in all, this update to the Tour 100P keeps a good thing going. The more flexible beam construction is a nice bonus.

Plays greatNice feel and hard hitting. Great racquet.

This racquet is fantasticMain thing I love about this racquet is the ease of use. I don't play as often anymore, and this racquet is great for when I am playing a match after a two week break or not very warmed up. It is incredibly dampened, soft and has a thicker beam than previous models.

Not an expertI'm not an expert but I love the racquet already. It has better control than my previous racquet and does not feel heavy

Good Product & Great Service!I used to play with Prince racquets so when I found a great deal at the Tennis Warehouse, I was happy to purchase. The racquet experts are very knowledgeable but what is even better is the customer support. Something got screwed up with my order but the team did everything to remedy to ensure I got exactly what I wanted with a fantastic deal. What a great team!
One Hot RacquetThis racquet is off the charts amazing. Hands down, it is the best control racquet I've ever had. It plays extremely lively and responsive with beautiful balance and feel. The anti-torque system is for real, and it's head light so I can take big swings and generate lots of spin for placement with laser accuracy. It's also nimble at the net, and is forgiving enough to land drop shots when needed. This is a true player's racquet. For reference, I'm a 4.5 men's singles player.
Fantastic!Fantastic all around racquet. It excels in many areas and is not a one dimensional play. It also is very easy on the arm. It is more of a control oriented stick, but does not leave you wanting more power. I prefer this racquet over the previous iteration. I will continue to stick with this line of racquets. No need to switch from here.
Good stuff but step backI have used both this and previous 100P 305gr model. Unfortunately latest one seems too soft and is not reliable by quick exchanges. The higher stiffness of the "green” version did a better job. I had sold the newer version and fortunately found one of the last sticks of previous iteration available.
Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100PHave been playing with the Yonex VCORE Pro 97 310 (2019). I like the Yonex but looking for a larger head size as I age and struggle more to find the sweet spot. Wanted to try the Yonex VCORE Pro 100 but the price and power level increase was a concern. Settled on the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 100P. Last night was my first outing with the 100P strung at 53 LBS with Tecnifibre X-one BiPhase 17 Gauge. First thing I noticed... no issue with generating spin. Matter of fact I had easier access to spin with the 100P. I was dipping the ball over the net pretty much at will. I was getting more spin on serves as well. Maybe because the 100P seemed to swing easier and quicker despite the slightly higher swing weight. Which leads to the fact that the 100P swing through the air extremely easy. I was not hitting against power hitters but never felt the racquet get pushed around. At the net I felt very in control of my volleys. I did float a couple balls long that were hit at me hard, but felt like it was me more than the racquet. The string bed felt less crisp... slightly mushy, but still played very controlled. Took a little adjusting to get my placement right when hitting for corners or angles, but felt good and better as I adjusted. By the end of the night I had my lobs, down the line shots and cross court angles pretty dialed in. I had a pretty darn good night serving. I think because it was easy to swing. Ground strokes were fun, volleys were easy, serve improved, return of serve a joy.... really a good first outing. Only down side was I slightly missed the crispness of my Yonex and have not developed quite the precision I had with the Yonex either, but that should come with time.
Fantastic racquet, versatile and extremely coOver the last years, I tried many racquets in the "control tweener" category. The Tour 100p is an incredibly good racquet: fast and maneuverable, very comfortable (not noodlish but soft), offering all what a player around my level needs. Power is rather low but there is enough, launch angle is a bit lower than most 16x19 but it does not feel boardy like many (tighter) 18x20. Actually the feel is amazing. Although the racquet feels light because of the headlight balance, it is still very stable. This makes the racquet well suited for a OHBH player like me. Finding topspin is not difficult, although it’s probably not the best for rallying with loopy balls. I was also able to hit semi flat with great confidence.
Overall, the Tour 100p is an awesome racquet that may suit a lot of playstyles. I would not recommend it for a beginner or low intermediate.

Great All-Round RacquetBought this racquet after demoing it alongside the Prince Phantom X 18x20 and I have been enjoying it so far. After playing with an old Head Radical TI for a long time, I thought the transition would be tricky. However, this racquet plays well for my style (flat, all-court player) which made the transition rather simple. The racquet itself is quite maneuverable, very comfortable, and has given me a bit more free power than my previous racquet. This racquet is a definite recommend from me. In addition, I will be likely getting another one as a back-up in the future. I currently have a full bed of the Kirschbaum Pro Line II 17g string at 48 pounds. Haven't settled on a specific string yet, will be trying more once the Pro Line II wears out.
Best Prince frameReducing the flex on this new version has given this frame an arm friendly soft feel and still kept the power, spin, and touch. I can use it with a stiff poly or a soft multi string and played well from 44 to 55 lbs tension. Solid volleys, big serves including spin, and powerfully controlled groundies. This is the frame everyone has been waiting for.
Great old school racquetTried the free demo and I'm glad I did. This is a great racquet for a hard driving flat game. Its natural shot is a low trajectory drive through the court. It can spin the ball with proper technique but it's not the best choice for a baseline basher. It's an all court or serve and volley weapon. Great on volleys eats up pace great direction control. Very controlled accurate groundstrokes. Serves well on slice, kicker or flat. Stability on hard flat serves excellent ,send them back with interest. Very comfortable, no high frequency vibrations. Somewhat muted but excellent feel and touch. This came strung with some experimental Prince poly that played perfect in it. I'll try the Tour 16x18 but I can't imagine they're better than this.
