A light, powerful, and accurate PrinceI like Prince racquets and always choose one for advanced intermediate (USTA 4.0) players. This one has a seeming low string tension but plays tight, firm, and accurate. Took me a while to adapt, after switching from the previous Prince which was strung 10 lbs tighter but actually seemed to trampoline more.
As I've adjusted my game has gotten very good with this racquet.
Great racquetVery nice racquet
wilson clash 100v3 vs dunlop cx 200os vs prini've been demo'ing these 3 racquets - just groundstrokes and serves so far, and have some observations. background: i'm a 77yo 3.0+ player with some arm sensitivity. although these racquets are within a 9gram range for strung weight, they are quite different.
twistpower - the lightest of the racquets and that was very noticeable. although it supposedly has a swingweight 1 gram higher than the clash, it didn't feel like that. the racquet felt super light and super maneuverable, and super easy to control. unlike the other 2, however, it didn't give you any free power. i think it's too light to do that. so if you wanted pop you had to add it.
as an aside, i spent a few minutes with the clash 100pro v3 and the clash 108v3. the pro is noticeably heavier, and slightly stiffer. not for me, but i'm sure for some. the 108 is only 1pt hl to make up for its lighter weight. i found it hard to control, with the ball trampolining all over the place.
Excellent racquetHeadlight, light weight, and plenty of power with a large sweetspot.
The Best Racquet for Sensitive Arm/ShouldersI've had this racquet for over a year, see my other review earlier. It's a power and spin racquet, with less control. I have demoed and bought several other modern racquets from Wilson, Yonex, Babolat, Tecnifibre, etc. to see if I can get a better feeling racquet with more control, but they all hurt my shoulder. I go back to the Twistpower to "heal" my shoulder. I hit hard and my shoulder never feels pain. I'm not sure what magic or tech Prince put into the Twistpower, but it is the absolute best for my shoulder. I don't get any pain at all. If you have had chronic shoulder or arm pain from other racquets, you should def. try the Twistpower. It really is a remarkable racquet!
10/10 amazing racquetThis is one of the best racquets everything about this racquet improved my gameplay even put Prince synthetic gut 16 duraflex on it this whole racquet is 10/10 but it is light but when I gripped it the lightness went away and went to a decent weight.
Very goodVery good racquet for the moment.

Twistpower 105My review is different than others. I thought the Prince Twistpower 105 has slightly less power than I expected. I thought it would have the same power as my current racquet the Prince Beast 104. They both have a Prince power rating of 1150. But I think the Twistpower has less power than the Beast. I thought the Twistpower was slightly under powered. I use a multi string that I often use, strung two pounds below average.

Unique racquetSeems like a good racquet so far? Has a lot of pop. Not sure if twisted shape lends to any more spin? Do wish it were a bit longer? Strung with Babolat Orange spin strings, looks great, but may be a little stronger than I expected.

PRINCE TWIST POWER 105This is my favorite racquet. Great top spin, touch, feel, easy power, easy on the arm. Volleying improved with this racquet. Looking to buy a third racquet.
