This new addition to the Prince Tour line combines controllable power with outstanding feel
With the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98, Prince adds a new member to the Tour family. With its 98in² head, this racquet offers a tad more power than the Tour 95 but still manages to deliver surgical targeting on full cuts. The signature technology is Prince's Anti-Torque System (ATS) which features Textreme and Twaron in both the shaft and upper hoop. The upshot is less frame torque through impact, resulting in a more stable hitting experience. On groundstrokes the Tour 98 feels fast, spin-friendly and accurate. Although it errs on the side of control, there is definitely enough pop to get the ball moving through the court, and the buttery 62-RA stiffness delivers an arm-friendly ride with great feedback. Ultimately, this is an impressive addition to the Tour franchise. Intermediate and advanced players looking for easy targeting and great feel will love this one.

Perfect for my gameThis racquet is a perfect fit for my game. It is very stable on serves, groundstrokes and volleys, maneuverable, has good plow and amazing feel. My strings are poly on the mains at 52 lbs and multi-filament on the cross strings at 55 lbs. I initially found it too light and added weight on the head and handle to keep its head-light balance. I am pleased with it after customization. Worth a demo.
Amazing racquetI’m pretty new to tennis and have played a little bit but never taken lessons. This year however I started to play tennis for the school that I’m at and getting this racquet is a AMAZING step up from my beginner racquet. It’s very forgiving and helps a lot being a little lighter and gives more top spin to my ground strokes
Excellent RacquetThe way this racquet is weighted gives you maneuverability to hit shots that maybe you didn’t quite prepare for! Give it a try
Excellent racquetThis racquet will present as a surprise to you! You will be shocked at how incredibly maneuverable this racquet is. It’s equally impressive on the baseline as well as the net. Also, my serve has never been better.
Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98 RacquetI have been using the Textreme Tour 95 for years and decided it was time to step up to a larger head size. I am pleased with the obviously larger sweet spot which is very noticeable on volleys. The control of the racquet is still excellent. The only downside is that it is harder to generate the extreme topspin I often use. I am guessing its because the frame is a lighter that the old model. Its a very comfortable racquet to hit
Prince Tour ATS 98Reasonably light, and very maneuverable. Good balance between power and control. Strong on ground strokes and volleys. Accurate: The ball goes where I place it. The only thing I would change is the grip. The rubber is okay, but much prefer a leather grip.
Prince ATSThe racquet performs well as expected. The only problem was it did not match the specifications listed. I bought one a few months ago and had to do extensive customizing to make them match. The swing weight differed by ten grams and the balance was off three points.

Finally a true tour racquetLeave it to prince to come out with a true tour racquet. Solid, maneuverable and comfortable this model has it all. It elevates your confidence in your strokes and the love of the game.
Great All Around RacquetA great all around, versatile stick. It has the stability and plow-through to handle heavy ground strokes, the maneuverability and stability to needed for volleys, and the feel, touch, and feedback to let you know where your shot is going. The TW review is right on the money.
