Impressive feel and playability duration for a poly-based monofilament
As one of the softest members of Prince's polyester line, this string is great for the poly veteran who wants a slightly more tendon-friendly control string. It's also a great "starter poly" for players who are new to the breed. Made with a unique alloy to improve feel and tension maintenance Tour XP has excellent ball feedback. Although it has a round profile, this string's ability to accommodate maximum stroke speed makes it extremely spin-friendly. The fact that it has exceptional playability duration is a nice bonus (think more bang for your buck).

Prince Tour XP 16 gauge stringI strung Prince Tour XP 16 gauge in my Prince Warrior 100, a great racquet, at 48 pounds. I noticed more pop off the racquet on defensive block shots and volleys. I can take full swings on ground strokes with good control and I notice more zip. It is a comfortable poly string.
Great stringExcellent power and crisp but not too crisp like Babolat RPM or Luxilon 4G. More in the mid range of crisp in terms of poly strings. Great entry into poly and excellent for hybrid stringing using it as a main. Tension maintenance was okay but it hits a sweet spot after about two to four hours of play.

Prince Tour XP StringThis is the best poly string I have ever played with. It is on the softer side so it is relatively easy to string and comfortable to play with. I feel the spin potential is very good, though obviously not as high as the stiff textured poly strings. Power feels great for a poly, more like a decent synthetic gut to me. Durability has been better than some of the stiffer poly strings for me. Note: I use a Prince Tour Pro 100 at 58 pounds.
Previous Feedback
Comments: I bought the red and found it extremely responsive. I string high around 70 pounds and the end result was not good for my arm. Spin production was great and a lively response made this a great string initially, as I played more the high tension created a high pitched ping which resulted in vibration issues. As I played on it got significantly worse and I figure it's due to the high tension I play with. I then crossed it with a multifilament which helped but not enough for me to commit to it again. I wouldn't recommend this for the tension I play with but at lower tensions it's a great option as the power response was significant for a poly and the durability was better than average for polys. Tension maintenance was a bit better than average in my opinion. I'm a 4.5 heavy topspin player and strung it in a Head Extreme Pro.
From:Phillip, 6/4/17Note from TW: Hi Phillip, We definitely would caution anyone stringing that high of a tension in such a stiff racquet!
