This plush and spin-friendly racquet gets updated with a new layup and material technology for 2026.
Meet the 2026 Tour 98! Designed for intermediate and advanced players, this stick pairs a 98-square-inch head with a 16x19 string pattern, delivering a precise, spin-friendly response with great ball pocketing and impressive comfort. It also boasts a mid-320s swingweight, which means it's fast enough for aggressive all-court play while still packing enough stability to trade balls with heavy hitters. For 2026, Prince stiffens the beam a tad for a more stable and powerful ride. Other updates include ISO-Fiber, a layup technology that increases torsional stability and power, plus strategically placed foam to mitigate harsh vibrations. The Tour 98 also features Prince's updated Anti-Torque System, adding Zylon and pairing it with Textreme to enhance torsional stability and energy return (think less frame wobble on off-center impact). Ultimately, with incremental updates to the feel, the Tour 98 continues to evolve. Intermediate and advanced players looking for controllable power and great feel will love this one.
