Overview
Prince Warrior Hybrid Touch combines an ultra thin and spin friendly co-poly, Tour XT, with one of the most comfortable multifilaments on the market, Premier Touch. The result is a hybrid that offers phenomenal spin and "best of class" vibration dampening. This is a great option for the player who wants the control and spin of a great co-poly without sacrificing comfort.
Please note: the package lists the lengths of the individual sets as 40ft. This is a misprint. Each individual set is only 20ft.

Hybrid Prince is greatThis string is soft and still does grip the ball. Used it for eight years.
Excelent Combo for a HybridThe string plays well and no shock to arm at all. The only thing I don't care for is the Multifilament, that gets marked up when clamped. But besides that, a good low cost alternative with plays very, very well.
Beautiful.I have this hybrid set up in a Yonex Vcore Pro 97 heavy. It is sublime in every way. Poly mains in 18g offset the 16g crosses strung at 51 in the mains and 53 in the crosses. Have been using hybrid setups for about 30 years, and these are as good as any I've used when price is considered. Playability is incredible. Also strung in 2 other Tecnifibre racquets with the same results. Also helps with considerably with spin.

Comments: Bought a Pure Strike 98 with the Champion's Choice hybrid set up. Liked it, I wanted to switch the poly/main set up. Way too expensive to experiment with. Bought a few sets of this string. Fooled around with tension and set up, found with poly's in main at 53 lbs (51 for cold days) and multi at 57 lbs (55 on cold days) works very well for me (low 4.0 player). As I don't hit as hard as some, the 18 gauge lasts well enough, tension maintenance is good, and the feel is plush. I will say, as my technique has developed, the multi does fray after about a month's worth of play and I actually have broken the multi (I kept playing with dead strings three months in with thrice weekly play). I will stay with this string as long as Prince makes it. $10 ya can't beat it.

Comments: I didn't like this at first after using Weiss CANNON Blue Rock N Power which is a more interesting string. But I ended up liking it, begrudgingly perhaps. Power and spin are fine. The tension held very well. Comfort with the multi cross is good. But what surprised me was that I had it strung in two racquets and the durability was very good. I usually had multi and synthetic gut crosses break earlier but these lasted fairly long. I'm a 5.0 player and strung it in my Donnay.

Comments: This a very soft combination and very comfortable. I have tested several combinations of tension and found a mid range 53/56 lbs or 54/57 lbs to be best for a combination of touch and power. Plush shots with a Prince Tour Pro 100. Best touch on volleys and half volleys. Lasts about 1 month playing 3 times per week before tension loss.

Comments: I received this as a sample when I bought a Neos 1500. I strung this up to try. It is awesome! True to its name, it is loaded with feel. The string bed pockets, around the net it is awesome and control is sublime. Above all, it's supremely comfortable. This string is fantastic.

Comments: Just wanted to give a quick update, as I recently demoed a whole bunch or racquets from TW. Made the switch to a Babolat APD+ and just strung it with only this hybrid. It's just great. Usually 55 lbs all around. Great great stuff. Zero TE problems. I play 3-4x/week, and can get roughly 8-10 sets out this string. The Touch starts to fray after a bit, but it's a great feel, great tension maintenance, and this combined with the new racquet choice has elevated my game considerably.

Comments: So this is rare, because I don't typically write reviews on string. String selection is such a personal choice, I just don't see how one person's review can mean anything for anything else what with the different options of racquets, swing speed, style of play, gauges, tensions, etc. I play with a Volkl PB10 Mid (black/yellow version), have been using Volkl's forever due to great vibration dampening. I was typically using Luxilon ALU Power 123 Flouro (or something like that) for quite a while, but have been developing mild tennis elbow effects over the past few months (I also use two vibration dampeners). Gave this Prince stuff a try for $16: 55 lbs in the mains, 58 lbs in the crosses (I string with 15% pre-stretch and 15% knot pull). Tennis elbow has gone away. I notice a substantial amount more of string movement over the Luxilon, but it's definitely softer. I'm a solid 4.0 player, dabble in 4.5, and trying to find a great set of durable but really soft stringset to consistently use. I have natty gut, generally play synthetics. We'll see how this string holds up to continued use, how it holds tension, etc. As for tennis elbow though, best stuff I've used thus far on my racquet and game.

Comments: Have been using this string for about 2 months now, and I'm impressed in every respect. I used to use a full bed of the Prince Tour XT, which I did like (a relatively forgiving poly with decent touch). That said, I string my own racquets and decided to experiment with this hybrid, and I'm glad I did. I feel like it offers much of the control of a full bed of poly with the added benefits of better feel and a little more free power.
