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 updates its Anti-Torque System, integrating Zylon with Textreme to enhance torsional stability and energy return. Prince also improves comfort with strategically placed foam and introduces a new layup technology, ISO-Fiber, which doubles down on stability and energy return to help reduce frame wobble and power loss 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.
