Comments: There are a few things I like about this racquet. It's extremely comfortable, works well on my backhand slice, and it might be my favorite racquet to volley with as well. That said, for my game, the racquet doesn't have enough power/plow through and lacks spin potential as well. I also for some reason had a lot of trouble serving with this racquet. If I had more luck serving with this racquet, I might consider playing around with its weight and string set up. But as it stands I much prefer the Phantom Pro 100. That racquet is also extremely comfortable and a bit underpowered, but I thought it was also more spin-friendly and better on serves, while still having the positive attributes I found in the Tour 95.
From: Dylan, 2/8/19

Comments: Really getting a feel for a racquet during a play test is tough since string choice and tension change the feel so much. Recently tested this racquet (local shop) and Phantoms 93P, 100, and 100P (TW). Had my head set on one of the 100s but the Tour 95 easily came out on top for me with 93P in second. I found the Tour 95 super stable against pace with the best spin production of the group. Really wanted to like the 100s but both seemed tinny which I thought odd given the thin beam and high flex rating. Not sure what they were strung with. The Tour 95 was strung with Hyper G 18 around 50 lbs. Previous racquet Babolat Pure Storm Ltd.
From: SW, 1/8/19

Comments: Oh what a wonderful racquet this is! I've been trying out so many sticks over the years but for the first time really feel this could be the one. My backhand (1-handed) has never been better, and that is the most important criterion for me when choosing a racquet. This one is decent at the net, too.
From: Alex, 1/7/19

Comments: First class. If you have a single-handed backhand, play an all court game and you haven't been brought up on 100sq" Babolats hitting loopy ground strokes, give this a go. It is great fun, makes you want to play more and more. Imagine the Wilson Pro Staff 85 with a bigger sweetspot and just a little less noticeable weight - that is this stick. It even feels like that Wilson in the hand with its box beam and matte black finish. Flexy but solid, moves through the air so fluidly and reliably accurate. And it makes you play better technique-wise, yet on the stretch it will put the ball back deep. No problem going toe to toe with a Babolat from the baseline. I demo'd it with a full bed of Yonex Poly Tour 1.20 and it played surprisingly well, my arm can't usually tolerate polys. Only area where this racquet suffered with a full poly bed was pop on serve, but a hybrid in the high 40s sorted out that and opened up the string bed further. This is what the Head Prestige and Wilson Pro Staff lines should be aspiring to in my opinion.
From: LC, 1/2/19

Comments: I'm a 4.0 player, hard hitting baseliner that likes to hit a lot of backhand slices. I've played with this racquet for over 3 years and had developed tennis elbow over a period of time (mostly due to slightly incorrect technique, high tension and using overgrips that were too large as I later found out). I thought it was due to the racquet so I demo'd a few of the popular racquets on the market, but nothing comes close to the touch and feel of the Tour 95. I was a little disappointed and had resigned to the fact that I would have tennis elbow for the rest of my life and an underpowered racquet that would tire me by the time I got to the 3rd set of the match. So I began experimenting by customizing my racquet using tungsten weights around the top of the frame making it head heavy and dropping my tension down to 38 pounds using Wiess Canon Ultra Cable strings. I initially thought that it would be too heavy to play with and the balls would fly off my racquet, however, it has brought back a new lease in life to my game. The added weight actually allows you to swing less with greater stability (less torque = no tennis elbow) thereby expending less energy cause once you start swinging the racquet it just doesn't want to stop similarly like the hammer throw (TIP: staying relaxed during the swing and allowing the racquet to do the work also helps). Dropping the tension really low also reduced the vibrational shock and allowed more ball pocketing which produced a ridiculous amount of power and spin, coupled with the spin monster king Weiss Cannon Ultra Cable strings. I am now back to crushing balls with my big forehand with pinpoint accuracy reminiscence of my younger years. If you really like the buttery touch and feel of this racquet, but not sure about the power level, I recommend customizing the strings, tension, and the racquet first before changing racquets because there is simply no other racquet out there than can reproduce the touch and feel of the Prince Tour 95. It's the best point and shoot racquet I've found and I'm so glad I've rediscovered my love for this racquet again.
From: Sherwin, 11/23/18

Comments: I had acquired tennis elbow with my last racquet and was looking for something with a bit of mass, reliable, and soft. During the TW Demo I was not really impressed with the racquet but it fit the bill at that point, the strings that are used for demo the Prince polys were really dead and didn't inspire much confidence. I put in Luxilon 4g in mains at 48 and NRG2 in crosses at 51 and man on man this racquet woke up. I always went for racquets that would improve my game but this feels like an extension of my arm. I have owned a slew of top notch racquets in the last few years and the common theme is the real match is completely different from the practice match because you never really have the confidence to hit really big during the match, but with this stick it is absolutely confidence inspiring. The more confidence I gained the looser my arm gets and the heavier I hit, I think at this point I am happy to say there is not much of a difference between practice shots and match shots. I don't have tennis elbow anymore which literally had stopped me from playing for weeks. The racquet is a little low powered but due to the accuracy it has you can really swing at the ball and it more than compensates. Surely go for hybrids, they work well and gives a little bit of a pop. The spin I get from this is phenomenal and the best part is the single handed backhand, I can just let it rip. The only down fall is the speed reduction in serve, but when you realize serves are more effective with placement than the power, you will start seeing that as a positive as well.
From: ADI, 10/1/18

Comments: I have played with this racquet about 2 years now, and I playtest other racquets just to see what else is out there. Nothing quite lives up to this. The RF 97 was close but was very stiff and lacked feel IMO. This is the hidden gem of racquets, but maybe not so hidden since it's a TW "best seller"; yet I see no one else at my club with this racquet. It's definitely a racquet for at least an intermediate level player. Doing arm swings with this would get you punished. Playing fearful tennis with this would get you punished. That being said, if you have decent technique you can swing free with this racquet and the ball just goes where you want it. Never have I felt as much control as with this racquet. I have it strung with a full bed of poly at 47 lbs.
From: John, 9/28/18

Comments: Very stable for such a light frame. Good solid feel, not hollow feeling like a Babolat. For me it is the perfect tweener feel that all brands should aspire to. Solid, crisp enough to give you that crunch without feeling stiff and harsh. As a comparison, I felt that the Yonex Vcore Pro 310 felt firmer. The main takeaway for me, is how much this racquet plays similar to a 16x19 racquet. It doesn't have the control of other 18x20 frames, like an Ultra Tour, and is therefore a lot more powerful and easier to generate heavy topspin with. Note, no need to lower tension for the 18x20 pattern. The 18x20 is a misnomer. Heck, the DR98 plays a lot tighter string-bed-wise and it is a 16x19. Quality of the paint doesn't seem to hold up to use on a hard court. Big ugly scratches where it would be light marks on a more robust frame like a Babolat PD.
From:Ted, 7/15/18

Comments: I think it's the best racquet I've ever swung -- if not, definitely the most enjoyable. After a ton of research, I decided to order a Tour 95 and give it a go. The reviews are true -- this racquet is a precision monster. A lot of reviews have said that the racquet lacks power - but I haven't had any issues. I am an all court player with a fairly hefty swing and over hitting can creep into my game so I tend to use racquets with a little less power. The accuracy of shot on this is unreal. It's a great racquet all over the court. Baseline hitting if you can generate the power is crisp and precise, and the racquet is great at the net. One of the most impressive things I found is how good the racquet is full stretch on the run. Because it's headlight and very maneuverable I found that those 50/50 shots that I'm chasing down and can normally only manage to stretch and just get back or hit into the net are now not just making it back but are being placed with power and precision. I've only played with it for a few weeks -- but can't fault it as of yet. Strung with full bed of Hyper G (poly) at 51 lbs which I've found great. If you're worried about the power go for a gut/poly hybrid -- would work a charm.
From:Adam, 6/24/18

Comments: This is a great racquet. It reminds me of a Dunlop racquet I used to play with 20 years ago. It's easy on the arm (even with full poly) and strung at 55 lbs. Very few things are as advertised but this racquet is one of them. It is surgically accurate and thanks to the solid/heavier frame its easy to generate pace. It took a little time to get accustomed to the smaller head size but I'm really enjoying this racquet. I can just swing and not worry about over hitting the ball and drop/touch shots are super easy to pull off. I wish they still made 100 frames like this but this is the next best thing.
From:Greg, 5/8/18

Comments: Having used this racquet for almost 1.5 years, I recently shifted to the Prince Tour 100P. Basically weight and power. This one, although only marginally more heavy than the 100P, does start to matter in the end of a 2nd set, start of 3rd set match. I think the slight weight difference and the lower power level means that (for me) there were fewer free points, serve was more work, and rallies longer so cumulatively I was struggling in the latter parts of matches. The 100P has largely solved that - bit more power, bit lighter, and slightly larger headsize means more forgiving. The 95 does play better (softer on the arm, more accurate, better follow through) in almost every way, except that it is harder work. I think I will oscillate between the two, but for matches, I suspect it will mostly wind up being the 100P.
From:DC, 3/21/18

Comments: The TT95 is amazing racquet in terms of control and feel; and excellent in plow through, though somewhat lacking in power but top notch in maneuverability. Though the weight is at 11.8 oz strung it does not feel heavy, very good in the arm. I am 60 years old and I can still swing this baby. It's more of a old school racquet compare to the stiff and powerful racquet of today. I've been using the TT95 for almost a year now with full bed of Lux poly strung at 50 lbs and can't complain. Just added a Prince leather grip.
From:Ed, 3/15/18

Comments: First of all, the Textreme tech is amazing for shock reduction. This is what I want to say. I used the Pro Kennex 98 Redendo MP (flex is 57) and this racquet (flex is 60). Pro Kennex is famous for arm-friendly racquets, but I can still feel the shock while hitting while there less shock from this racquet. I can feel the difference switching back and force.Second, it is a amazing racquet for one-handed backhand players. Sharp angle, precise ball placement. Since there are not as many players using Prince outside the U.S., a bunch of players using this racquets gave this racquet a nickname, "an artifact for one-handed backhand."
From:Erik, 2/5/18

Comments: Great combination of touch, control, and softness on the arm. The racquet however does lack power as many have noted, but if you add some lead tape to the hoop, whether you're comfortable with it at 12, or at 3 and 9, you'll get easier power. This plays how the PS95 should have played. Each shot is well controlled with this racquet, the true definition of a point and shoot stick. If you're a fan of the Pro Staff 90's and do not want to switch to the 97s but are looking for a bit more give, then definitely give this a shot.
From:Andrew, 1/30/18

Comments: I also own a Tour 100P as well. Comparing the two, the 95 has more control, but is lacking power. I added some lead tape on 12 o'clock to add tad bit more power and makes it less head light. Now, the overall weight is about 11.9 ounces, and it feels much better. Feels similar to my Wilson SixOne 95 but under 12.0 ounces, which is what I was looking for. Very nice frame, and awesome paint job as well. Flex feels higher than what indicates, and feels very comfortable. Very plush feel. This along with the 100P are keepers. Again, kudos Prince! Keep it coming!
From:Stanley, 11/2/17

Comments: Amazing combination of feel and control in a very arm friendly racquet. Switched to this racquet due to a bout of tennis elbow and after reading all the positive reviews. If you're like me and you like to take full, aggressive swings and generate your own power then demo this racquet, especially if you also enjoy ripping 1 handed backhand cross court winners. My tennis elbow is gone and control has improved. Tried the Ezone DR98 but couldn't control the power. Have it strung with Weiss Cannon 1.20 Silverstring (very soft poly) at 50 lbs to provide the perfect blend of power, control and comfort.
From:Mike, 10/30/17

Comments: What can I say but, "Wow!" I had been playing with the Yonex Ai 98 for a while now, and before that, the Prince Classic Graphite 100. The Textreme Tour 95 is rock solid, easy to maneuver, and does everything well. It's definitely not for those who want free power. I've got it strung with poly mains and multi crosses (various different types of each), my typical setup. Spin is comparable to the AI 98 and a bit less than the Graphite 100, but is more than adequate. I'll be sticking with this for sure.
From:Chris, 5/19/17

Comments: Played this after the RF 97 Autograph, which was great but gave me golfers elbow pains. Put in T1-Firewire Boost Hybrid at 45 lbs and never looked back. Don't string too high or you will be graving for power.
From:Mark, 4/1/17

Comments: Added a TW Leather grip some lead at 3 and 9 and Wow! Nice old school feel! Lots of touch and control. Imagine a slightly lighter, easier to serve with K90. I have it strung low with a poly/synthetic gut hybrid to maximize power and feel. It's the frame I've always wanted with sweet graphics! I cant think of any weaknesses. Definitely a modern players frame. I'm a 4.5 aggressive baseliner that loves the Pro Staff line.
From:Mike, 3/19/17

Comments: Have had the Textreme Tour 95 for about 3 months, and have loved it. A classic feel, crisp but wonderful ball feel/dwell time. Tested various others -- Yonex DR98, various Wilson Pro Staffs, new Wawrinka Yonex (lighter version), but nothing really came close to the wonderful feeling of hitting with this racquet. In the end it was really between this and 100P, and to be honest could have walked away with either quite happily. Went with the 95 as it felt a little bit more controlled, and did not really sense a trade off in the head size (have played with 97 square inch racquet for a long time) and did not feel there was any noticeable loss in playability with the 95 head size. It is a 'classic' though, so there is some expectation that you generate more power than newer tweener style racquets, so there is an element of being a slightly more 'purist' racquet. Well worth it -- comfortable, accurate, pocketing, great responsiveness.
From:DC, 2/25/17

Comments: Sensational feel and control. The demo from TWE came with Polyfibre TCS and the frame was super comfortable, massive dwell time and pinpoint control. It flet like a classic frame from the 80s. I demo'd it alongside the Yonex DR 98 310g. The Prince beat it in all aspects. Super solid, soft ball crusher. However, it's heavy and I fatigued after 50 minutes with it. I knew the moment I picked it up it was "too heavy." I'm going to give the 100P a go but 100 square inches is not my thing. Maybe I need lessons from playtester Karly on how to swing this for prolonged periods!
From:Louis, 2/16/17

Comments: I liked this racquet in stock form but thought it could be great with a little change in the specs. I took my old Pro Staff 85 to my local shop, they are great at customization, and had them match the spec on that racquet. 12.6 ounces, 10 points headlight, 345 swingweight and now this racquet is bomb proof. Love the plow through and stabilty and with the head light balance it is still very manoverable at net. I am a former division 1 college player and college tennis coach and hit two handed backhand and use forehand to set up the points. To Jiri below, I use a full bed of Solinco Hyper G 17 at 55 lbs almost all the time. I have also used Hyper G in the cross and Pacific tough gut in the mains and that is a fabulous hybrid in this frame.
From:Doug, 11/16

Comments: First racquet from Prince in quite a while tailored to the likes of oldschool players. The headlight, slim beam and small headsize results in scalpel like control -- truly a point and shoot racquet here. Due to the low swingweight and the headlight balance you can swing almost effortless which allows for cracking those RPMs on the ball leading to really nice spin of both wings as well as on serves. Two downsides really -- low power which can be battled with proper strings and lead but the second downside that there is not much room to customize if you want to really crank up the power with lead. Still worth a demo, especially for those looking for that old school feel and precision.
From:Peter, 11/16

Comments: I bought this racquet from my local tennis shop back in the summer of 2016. I love it. It has the combination of old school flexy and a stiff modern racquet. Put in ashaway crossfire "Kevlar hybrid" set up and it feels amazing.
From:Anthony, 11/16

Comments: This is a very nice racquet -- very forgiving on the arm even with a full poly at high tension. The stock frame I got felt a little too head light for my taste and fairly low in swing weight. I added a little lead around the hoop to experiment. Ultimately I have replaced the base grip for a Babolat Syntec Lite grip, and put 5 grams of lead at 12. It now weighs 344 grams with dampner and overgrip, 328mm balance and 345 swing weight. It now plays super solid with a very predictable response and has good power with a relatively low static weight. Love it.
From:Matt, 9/16

Comments: I've been playing with the Textreme Tour 95 for about a year now. I loved it from the first 3 minutes I hit with it and nothing has changed since then. It has been even better than the demo with my prefered string set up. It's soft and arm-friendly, but I still feel very connected to the ball. If you're a fan of frames like the Volkl PB10, Head Microgel Radical, or the Prince Tour 98, then this one should be at the top of your demo list.
From:Jonathan, 9/16

Comments: I bought this stick based on preffered specification and based on many positive feedbacks from you and TW positive reviews and high scores. I hoped it will fully replace my previous stick -- Dunlop Aerogel 4D 100 (balance 32cm, 90 square inches, weight 315g, frame 19mm). As regards the feeling, touch, maneuavarability and volleying -- there is no doubt, it was good choice. On the other hand, the plow through, power generation (even bigger head and wider frame) and swingweight is still something I have relevant doubts about -- and no doubt, it's worse, much more than my previous Dunlop Aerogel 4D 100. It feels unstable, dull and harder than expected. Even I tried to customize the weight and change the original balance (30,5) by adding additional weight on 3-9 positions, I did not get much better feeling. The only think I did not try yet, is the string, which is still the original one (some Prince 16G) and original tension (feel very hard). Can you share your experience and share your recommendation how to better customize this, towards stringing ? I previously used the Wilson Pro Staff 95, then Dunlop 200G, then Dunlop Aerogel 4D 100 and now, second week with this black/green beast. But, so far, my original excitement is slowly disappearing and the only chance I can see is suitable string and its proper tension. I am classic player, 50 years of age, one handed backhand, love the baseline, and have been playing for 40 years. Any feedback would be very appreciated.
From:Jiri, 9/16

Comments: Got this racquet and really enjoyed playing with it. It is effectively a classic player's racquet with a modern paint job and does everything well and many things very well. It's a tad lighter than your old school players racquet which would usually weigh 12+ ounces -- this one is just a hair under and so, with the head light balance, is super maneuverable. The easy racquet head speed allowed for plenty of topspin when needed on ground strokes and made serving a pleasure. Great on touch shots as well. Despite the sub-12 ounce weight, volleys were a joy. Prince has found a way (Textreme) to really give this stick a ton of stability. Maybe I was just having a good day, but do not remember any off center shots groundstrokes or volleys) that twisted the racquet in my hand. This racquet has a little less power than the Wilson 6.1 95 that I usually play with (and less plow through) but I guess what you get instead is an easier to handle to racquet with comparable feel and stability. The feel is slightly less dense or solid relative to old school box beam sticks like the PS85 or the MW200 (i.e., this racquet has a slightly more hollow feel). To be clear it still feels more solid than other contemporary racquets (although definitely not as solid as the RF97 which is much heavier and has tremendous plow through). For me, this is the perfect complement to my 6.1 95, which remains perfect for when I am in shape and have had a week or two of regular hitting. If I'm a little rusty or just want a more maneuverable racquet with great feel, access to spin and volleying, but as a tradeoff a tad less power, I will go with this fella.
From:Steve, 8/16

Comments: This racquet saved my tennis. The feel and feedback is amazing. It's also very arm friendly. I was using Babolats and that killed my arm because I couldn't use gut (too powerful) and the poly made my wrist, elbow, and shoulder hurt after every hit/match. The 95 sounds small but it's actually not that bad beause the beam is quite thin.
From:Jared, 7/16

Comments: I have owned this racquet for a short while. I am tennis instructor and I also play. I have used the racquet everyday, four to five hours a day, for three full weeks. I simply love this stick. I feel like I hit every shot better with this racquet, but volleying with this racquet is awesome. I have it strung with Solinco Hyper-G 18, at 49 lbs mains and 48 lbs crosses. If you are a player who likes smaller head size racquets, try this one.
From:Paul, 6/16

Comments: This is the closet thing to a Wilson KFactor Tour 90 with more comfort, power, forgiveness, and spin. (Think of a baby between a Tour 90 and AeroPro Drive). I used Babolat RPM Team 16 at 50 lbs. It's a little low powered but if you play 4.0 or higher, it has more power than you need. The feel and control really sets this stick apart. More feel/control than the Graphite 100s.
From:Don, 5/16

Comments: I think this is a really great racquet. It's definitely a traditional feeling player's racquet. I just switched to it from the Blade 98 18x20, before that I had the Volkl Organix 10 and the Babolat Pure LTD before that. Compared to the Blade, this racquet this is heavier but more maneuverable due to being more head light -- so it's stable from the baseline, but easy to move at net and finish the shot on overheads, etc. It generates a bit more spin with the more open string pattern, and has a bit more power than the Blade. Although that's not saying much -- it's the perfect upgrade as I was looking for a stick with a bit more power and spin potential than the Blade. Also, this is really easy on the arm. I tried the Wilson Burn FST 95 and that thing crushed my elbow.
From:Greg, 4/16

Comments: Purchased from TW Europe, strung with Volkl Cyclone at 23/22 kg. I love this racquet. If you are looking for a "low powered" arm friendly frame with tons of control then this is it! There is still enough power and this frame allows to place the ball where you want. Very stable at net on volleys or slices. Very well balanced and maneuverable. You will not get pushed around and will handle the biggest serves with ease. My serve and overheads needed some adjustment because of the weight, but once adjusted, I was hitting bombs! May favorite racquet along with Yonex DR 98 so far!
From:Ervins, 4/16

Comments: I'm a PTR Teaching Pro, 5.0 Player. This is an awesome racquet. Very low powered, so it's catered to players will full swings who can generate a lot of racquet speed on groundstrokes. Great control, above-average spin potential (not as much as spin as the Wilson extreme spin racquets, but for a 16x19 racquet it has good spin.) Very low stiffness rating 60, so it's very arm friendly as far as somewhat heavier players frames (Burn FST 95 is similar in some aspects but not nearly as arm friendly as this textreme tour.) The racquet also happens to look cool. If you're used to 100 square inch (or larger) racquets, or lighter racquets, make sure you also demo the Textreme Tour 100P to compare it to this. Personally, this is my favorite racquet currently. Compares favorably to the Wilson Pro Staffs and the Head XT Graphenes.
From:Drew, 3/16

Comments: I'm a Pure Aero lover but after spending a week with a bunch of demos from TW, this Prince came out on top in a big way. I never thought I would switch to another racquet so quickly but its that good. I struggled with control and was seeking a stick with that in mind and Prince Tour 95 is the winner. It is listed at 60 for flex rating but it has a lot of pop to it. Spin is very easy to find and my tendency to over hit is no problem for this stick. I found the court with ease on some big cuts at the ball. Volleys are struck with laser precision and I can handle the biggest hitters with ease. The ball is routinely sent back with interest. Overall, this is a great stick and I can't say enough good things about it.
From:Marco, 3/16

Comments: If the Wilson K90 married the Blade 98, the offspring would be the Prince Textreme Tour 95. This frame does everything well and is just so solid. It has to be one of the best frames ever made. Years from now, I think it will be considered a real classic gem. It's got plow, it's got feel, it's got power, and it's insanely maneuverable. Most frames today will excel in one area at the expense of an attribute in another area. Not so with the the Prince Textreme Tour 95. This frame is the exception to the rule. Perfection. I strung mine at 45 lbs with Volkl Cyclone 18g black. A true player's frame.
From:Nik, 2/16

Comments: I'm a frequent racquet changer and have all of the latest models that people usually demo, -- Head Extreme Pro, Babolat Pure Aero, Yonex Ai 98, Head Graphene Speed Pro etc. Although all of the above are phenomenal sticks none of them is the complete package. I decided to buy the Prince Textreme tour 95 without demoing it and although I enjoyed hitting with it I was initially under the impression that it did not quite suit my game. I play with a full and fast swing with heavy topspin mainly from the baseline but I'm an all courter to be precise. Since I played with the Pure Aero at the time, I decided to use the Tour 95 solely for Monday practice in order to figure it out a little more and for the sake of not putting it for sale since it was brand new. Slowly and gradually the Prince won me over. I can only say that this is the best racquet I have ever played with, it is one of those racquets that people will be talking about 30 years from now. It is that good! Right up there with the original POG and Wilson 6.1. There is nothing this stick can't do. It is 320 grams in static weight but is so unbelievably maneuverable that you could never tell. It is silky smooth with tons and tons of feel and feedback and from the moment the ball touches the strings...you know where it's heading to. It is rock solid on impact but the buttery feel of the frame makes every hit flawless, efortless and stress free. Plow through is brilliant yet your shots almost never sail long, it is like cheating. It complements your game and makes you look like a better player. Spin comes in buckets, something I did not expect from a frame of this kind and you can use its acceleration in the air and its mass to generate it with ease. Serving is superb, not Pure Aero in terms of outright speed, but fast, heavy and just like every other shot with this racquet, beautifully positioned. Best racquet ever made, Prince is back with a bang, I'm a Textreme convert.
From:Gerry, 1/16

Comments: I'm a USPTA coach sponsored by Prince. I've used this racquet from the day it came out and I had little bit of trouble getting used to it coming from the Babolat Pure Storm series. I used to be a hardcore Babolat fan but this changed that. The stability and the feel of this racquet is unparalleled. It's easier to whip than my Pure Storm so I got extra spin from the baseline and a rock solid feel on volleys. It did lack the power I needed on serves so I lowered the tension a bit. When I did that, I still had the rock solid stroke with extra power and extra spin (looser strings make more spin). It was strung around the mid 40s with a hybrid and I added a leather grip. Best racquet ever.
From:Hyeoncheol, 1/16

Comments: I don't understand why Prince created a Textreme Tour 100P and a Tour 95 both of which are too light, too flexible and too similar. I think Prince and we the customers would be better served if there were just one Textreme Tour 98 16x19 that weighed about 12 ounces strung and maybe 6 points headlight with a mid range 64 flex rating.
From:Chris, 12/15

Comments: I recently demoed this racquet from TW and got in a good 6 hours of both singles and doubles play in. It was strung with a multi (my preferred string). My regular racquet is a Head Youtek IG Prestige Mid. I was looking for a somewhat lighter racquet with a slightly larger head and a more open string pattern to more easily access spin. Overall I thought the racquet played best from the baseline. Tons of power and spin although at times the string bed seemed to be extremely lively, almost too much to control. Volleys were relatively solid (not as good as my Prestige though). Slice was excellent. The area I felt it lacked in most was on serve. There seemed to not be enough weight behind this racquet to generate good pace on serve. I ended up having to change my serve style to add extra spin just so they wouldn't be sitting ducks for the returner. Also, I prefer a very solid feel with little to no vibration. This racquet performed okay, but again, my prestige performs better. I think I'll stick with my Head.
From:Jeremy, 10/15

Comments: 4.5 player who hits heavy topspin from the baseliner here. I adore this racquet. It took some time getting used to the extra weight and lower power coming from an AeroPro Drive I was accustomed to. My Textreme Tour 95 weighs in at 12.7 ounces, strung. That is, with some personal customization to the grip and the fact I use the stock base grip and an over grip. I wouldn't call that "light" by any means. Had I setup this racquet more typically, it might be about 12 ounces or even slightly below that. I think you'll really appreciate the flex/control of this racquet as a power/spin hitter when you get some polys you really like and string them in the mid-high 40 lbs. I tried that on the Babolat but that frame is a bit higher powered already. Low tension polys feel brilliant, really. But it was too much power in a somewhat power oriented frame so I was looking for something lower powered. This was it. An easy transition to make for me when I knew what I was looking for. I wanted something with less power, more control, weight and plowthrough as well as thinner beams. The Aeropro is rather shank prone. Basically, the plow and control has really elevated my game. I can move the ball more confidently as well as drop shot. I've always had the power so I needed a racquet that could offer me some control. I am able to respond more effectively to difficult shots. It's a very stable racquet. I think anybody that is at least a 4.0 player should check this out. If you're not, then chances are you do not have the technique/power to really get much out of what this racquet is particularly appreciated by me for. But who knows? That's just my little disclaimer. It's definitely a very low powered racquet but when you string in the mid 40 lbs, it's really something to appreciate. Lower tensions equals more power. Compensates for the low power frame quite a lot and allows you to pocket the ball more, thus getting even more control. It's insane! I think the people that reject this frame are often not stringing it the way it really should be strung. But to each their own. If you try this racquet, string it like 10% less tension than you would your normal racquet. Otherwise, I think you're tainting your first impression.
From:That Tennis Dude, 10/15

Comments: My first hit with this racquet was at the Tennis Warehouse demo court at the 2015 BNP Paribas Open. It seemed very plush, and a good fit for my game. I finally got a pair of them, and bumped the swing weight up to around 335. Strung them with a soft nylon in the mains and a poly in the crosses at 55/53 lbs, and they are a real pleasure. Comfortable, accurate, and great looking.
From:Greg, 10/15

Comments: I played with this racquet for around 4 months. It is a good racquet that is easy to pick up and hit with effectively very quickly. Very good comfort and a very high level of control due to its designed low power character. Yes, you can hit decent top spin, however it will not be heavy enough to bother anyone at the 4.5 level or above. The racquet is too whippy so you have to work very hard all the time to generate a heavy ball. Or (which is what i did) start adding lead and at some point the racquet just didn't feel the same anymore. I am not a fan of big lead customization. In my experience, it invariably changes the character of the racquet or perhaps I need Roger's customization team. Anyway, a good racquet but not for players who like to dictate and move in to clean up a point. Serves are decent but you will not hit the biggest flat serve. I played the entire time with polys so perhaps you can experiment with hybrids or even gut. I enjoy a racquet that is at the 330 gram weight with 12 HL and this racquet didn't do it for me.
From:Shereef, 10/15

Comments: I wanted to say something different about this racquet since all of the positive things I would just be agreeing with. String breaker! I don't quite know what it is, but this racquet goes through a poly bed in about 4-5 hits for me. I do hit very hard and very heavy spin, so I guess I understand. But my other, lighter racquets, lasted about 8-10 hits. So I think it's worth mentioning that this, and maybe most heavier racquets (particularly for heavy hitters) will kill the strings faster. Makes sense. Heavier racquets would plow through a ball more, leaving the strings to deal with more of the stress load every swing. I'm a 4.5 baseliner.
From:Jay, 9/15

Comments: Excellent combination of control and power. I live in high altitude where control is a premium. Strung this with new Lexicon Element at 53 lbs.
From:JD, 9/15

Comments: I'm a 5.5 level all-court player and I love these racquets. They have great control. I do agree with the comment below that they are a touch light but I have not added any lead tape yet. I'm a player that likes to play aggressively and come to the net a lot and this racquet really shines there! Volleys are very crisp and it is very comfortable at net. This racquet has the perfect combintion of power and control for me if you are a similar type of player looking for a new stick give these a try!
From:Cody, 9/15

Comments: Awesome racquet. Massive control, you can really put the ball on a dime with it. The 16x19 allows for good spin without forcing on your wrist. It also have a slightly higher launch angle than the Pure Strike Tour (my previous frame). Only down sides for me was the fact that the static weight and swingweight was on the low side. With a flex in the low 60s and a swingweight of about 320 you really need a very good hand/eye coordination to return bomb serves or redirect pace. You also need a pretty good arm on serve. To go around this problem, I have added a total of 4 grams (2x2) of lead tape at 2 and 10. This added a tad of power to the frame and gave it a better stability at impact which avoided me being pushed around too much on return. It also allowed for good counter strikes when redirecting pace.All in all this racquet is great but I am regretting that Prince is not following other companies that have understood that the modern game is won with more powerful racquets. In my opinion if this racquet had a flex in the mid 60s with a swingweight about 5 points higher it would be almost perfect. Yes this sounds like the Head Prestige MP but the Textreme carbon gives a very different (and better imo) feedback on impact. This is still a very good racquet but you might need to play with strings and tensions to find the power level that fits you best. I would recommend this racquet to someone that lacks precision but can generate ample power. I am a big fellow (1.87m and 120kg) and play around 5.5 level.
From:Jeremie, 9/15

Comments: Don't let the 750 power level fool you. This racquet has way more power than the 750 rating. I strung it with gut (mains at 52 lbs) and poly (crosses at 49 lbs) and could not keep the ball in the court. I'm having it restrung (3 pounds higher) using the same gut/poly hybrid setup. Also, I will be adding some lead tape at 3 and 9 o'clock positions. Hopefully, this will cut back the power and improve volleys. Feel with this racquet is exceptional.
From:Rutenberg, 8/15

Comments: Great racquet! I first strung mine at 50.5 lbs with Luxilon M2 Pro. It played great in that setup. Absolutely no shortcomings in the power department. Today, I bought a second one, and strung both of them with Wilson Natural Gut at 53 lbs in the mains and Luxilon ALU Power at 48.5 in the crosses. Let's see how this works for me.
From:Rena, 7/15

Comments: The best racquet I've played in a long while. Precise, solid, stable, and the weighting feels perfect. I'm a 5.0 all-courter who enjoys setting up points, and this stick gives me the ability to hit targets with amazing accuracy. I was playing a Wilson BLX Blade 98 previously and was having shoulder problems. This Prince has a lot less vibration, and after one hit, I'm already feeling less pain. Thanks, Prince -- you've nailed it.
From:Aaron, 7/15

Comments: Wow! Such a solid racquet. I didn't think of trying it because even at being a 4.5, I thought a 95" head would be just too small. Well it feels like a 97" head size because I compared this to the Wilson RF97 and they look close in size if that even means anything. It's so easy to swing and the one I used was strung low at 48 lbs with a full poly I was told, so maybe that's why I still felt plenty of power. I was expecting a very, very low powered Prince racquet but this totally surprised me. Just love it! The paint job is top notch and since it is Sony sensor ready I'm saving up to buy my own. Also I saw on TV watching Wimbledon that the matching bags are or should be out soon so I'm excited. 3 Textreme Tour 95s, one bag and one Sony sensor -- boy, I better work overtime to get these toys!
From:MS, 7/15

Comments: In my opinion, the absolute best racquet from Prince since the original graphite! Over the last few years, I have been in search of a replacement for my old Dunlop dinosaurs that were so hard to get away from. The search is over. This will be my frame for many years to come. A very unique feel, pinpoint, consistent accuracy, and ample power when you need it. I've added a little weight to mine, now 12.7 ounces strung. While I'm sure it's not for everyone, I believe more advanced players will find this to be a must try. Well done Prince!
From:Chris, 6/14

Comments: I was interested in the AeroPro Drive and Textreme Tour 95. Last week I demo'd both of these racquets, and I was so suprised. First of all, I have to say I was little disappointed with the APD. It had very good control and power but compared to the Textreme Tour 95, it blew the APD out of the line. I am very impressed with Textreme Tour 95 and just ordered 2 of them! Best racquet ever -- awesome control, feel was amazing, good quality product. It makes an awesome deep sound on impact with the ball. Power is definitely there when you generate it. Even for a two backhanded player like me.
From:Chris, 6/15

Comments: This racquet is really great but has a small sweetspot, so you need to string it low to open it up. I recommend Luxlilon M2 Pro strung at 50lbs. I'm a hard hitting baseliner 4.0 player, normally playing with Wilson K Factor Tour 90 but was looking for something lighter. This is it.
From:Jack, 5/15

Comments: This is a superb all-court player's racquet. It offers great control, feel, spin and it's comfortable too. There's plenty of power also there but you have to generate it. The Textreme gives it a unique feel and as many people mentioned - it plays crisper than its RA rating suggests - because of this I would definitely suggest you demo before buying it. I have mine strung with Luxilon 4G (1.25)/ Pacific SPX (1.28) hybrid at 53/55 lbs. Finally, it's easy to customize should you want to do so. Highly recommended.
From:S.G.V., 5/15

Comments: Fantastic racquet. After demo'ing over 30 racquets in the past year, this is one of the best. The Yonex EZONE Ai 98, Babolat Pure Control 95+, Wilson RF97, and Textreme Tour 95 stand alone at the top of the pack for racquets that should fit nearly 90% of all player needs out there. The only subset I think these racquets miss is the "Big Bubba" style frame.The Textreme 95 swings lighter than its weight, has a soft yet modern feel to it, and is surprisingly stable. If you're looking for standard length, midplus-sized frame that does it all - stop here and buy this frame. If you're looking for more pop, go for the Ai 98. If you're looking for extended length, get the Babolat PC95+. If you're looking for more heft and power, get the RF97. Otherwise, in my opinion, the Textreme Tour 95 should be the benchmark racquet for anyone trying out a new frame. Start here, then branch out if needed...you'll save yourself a lot of demo'ing by doing so.
From:Eric, 5/15

Comments: Played with this racquet with Luxilon ACE to compare it with my current racquet of choice, the Volkl PB Mid 10 and string. Significantly less comfort and a smaller sweet spot than the PB. It's only ok if you hit the ball perfectly. It does not feel like stiffness rating of 60 (on paper it feels almost identical to the PB) but stiffer. I can't agree with the overall positive feedback and test result.
From:Andreas, 4/15

Comments: Got my hands on a TXT95 last night and I was thoroughly impressed. It really plays like a PS85 but with a larger head size. My demo was strung with a multi so it was a bit of a trampoline. I think I would prefer it with a shaped poly at about 50 lbs. It felt great when on the sweet spot, but anything outside, I lost 50% power and control. Don't get me wrong, it's a sweet stick when your on the sweetspot and feels/plays like butter, but I can't guarantee hitting that spot 100% which worries me about the shot that will then come off the stick as a result. I give it a 9/10 rating.
From:Lofty, 4/15

Comments: I playtest pretty much every racquet on the market and it's no exaggeration to say this is the best racquet I've ever played with. A true point and shoot racquet which allows pure plow through and the power is right there when you want to generate it. Amazing racquet.
From:Rik, 4/15

Comments: Great racquet! I am a 4.0 mens singles player. Fantastic all around. I would have liked a thinner beam of 19. But backhand slices are sick, my opponent has no chance the ball spins like crazy. FYI -- It does have a very hollow feel that takes getting use to but that hollow feel is what gives it the feel if that makes sense. Feels similar to the old K90 but much lighter weight! This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you Prince! Very light weight and easy to move around the court with. Don't let the TW review fool you, It has plenty of controlled power too! Great spin! I strung it with RPM blast at 53 lbs and it was very nice. You simply can't go wrong with this racquet. Control is top notch too!
From:Doug, 4/15

Comments: I have been using this line for the past couple of updates. I used the EXO3 Rebel 98 and felt like I needed more control to add more of my own pace. I used the Prince Tour 95 and found that I was missing some of the topspin to allow me to keep my bigger shots in the court. This has the blend of spin and the control that perfectly fits my game, and the feel is amazing. I may end up buying more of this frame later so I have enough of these for the rest of my lifetime. If you are a big hitter that really enjoys injecting your own pace, then the Prince Textreme 95 is definitely worth a try.
From:DQ, 3/15

Comments: Very good racquet! I do agree with most of the review from TW -- only on one thing I do not completely agree, that is the power level. In the review, they gave it a rather low score, I do understand how they got to this, but I think if you have decent racquet head speed, it should produce a higher power level.
From:Jim, 3/15

Comments: This racquet is incredible. I just took delivery and customized this up to my standard spec of 440 grams, 4 points HL, with a Fairway leather grip, and strung with VS Touch 16g at 73 lbs. The racquet I have been playing with is the Babolat Pure Control 95 at the same customized spec, and I have to say I love that racquet. I play a serve and volley game, and it does everything well, but I decided to try the Prince, and I have to say, it does everything just a little bit better. Groundstrokes have a bit more margin without sacrificing precision, volleys are equally as crisp and precise, and serves have just a bit more juice. But the most outstanding quality for me was the ball feel. The Babolat has this in spades, but somehow the Prince Textreme Tour 95 has more, and as a serve and volley player, this is a crucial element for a racquet. 10 out of 10 for me.
From:Christopher, 3/15

Comments: I have had a long, frustrating racquet search since I came back after a long absence to replace my Pro Staff 85 that I used in college and as a Div 1 coach. I have hit some great frames Yonex VCore and the Ai98 (nice frame), Wilson Blades and the new Federer racquet. The RF97 should have been perfect off the shelf but the balance never seemed right. I demo'd this frame and loved it immediately -- the only knock was it was a little light. My local dealer weighted one up to my specs and it is awesome. No weaknesses, very solid one of the best two frames I've ever hit. It weighs 12.6, with a 335 SW, and 9 pts head light, strung with Volkl Cyclone 17 at 54 lbs. Search over!
From:Evan, 3/15

Comments: My current racquet is the Volkl Powerbridge 10 Mid (with poly/syn gut), and I have been using it for 3 years. I am a 4.0 player in my 40s. My review of this Prince racquet is completely relative to my PB. First, I really liked the PB and especially with the thin and flexible beam -- which was ideal for my big swings. However, I find the PB to be less forgiving at the net and at times when I needed easy power while on the run or needed to be defensive. What I am looking for was a racquet more headlight with a little more generous sweetspot yet allowing me to still take big swings. I was lucky enough to get a brand new Prince Textreme Tour 95 (with a poly) for demo from TW. I played with it for 9+ hours this week. I saw immediate improvement of my net game. It gave me more punch and accuracy at the net. And when someone cracked one right at me at the net, the racquet was still stable enough to reply with a good volley even if I didn't make perfect contact. I also noticed easy power when I was on the run and when I needed a neutralizing counterpunch shot. I was still able to get the ball deep to prevent the opponent from hitting a easy short ball. I was so confident with the demo that I used it for my USTA match this weekend. I beat a very tough opponent and was so happy with the win, that when I came home, I ordered the racquet immediately! Anyway, I still love the PB but I am realizing as I age, I needed something a little more forgiving. I think it is still a low power player's racquet. But compared to the PB, it felt more forgiving, powerful or firmer, and stable.
From:David, 3/15

Comments: Enjoyed the demo. Great classic weight/balance feel, I felt very connected to the racquet, volleys were crisp, my one-handed backhand felt reliable. Unfortunately it was strung with multi, and I find that hard to adapt to -- many shots came out too flat and low. The head size was enough smaller than contemporary racquets to make me watch the ball carefully. Overall I think I'll keep my Pro Staff 97 though. Strung with ALU Rough, it's both more powerful and more forgiving, in my opinion.
From:Phil, 3/15

Comments: I enjoyed hitting with this racquet. I felt it had enough power but the highlights of the review were the feel and volleys. A fantastic racquet to volley with. It felt more maneuverable than the 95 Rebel versions although I may have liked those better from the baseline. Felt good on my arm. Strings were moving around a bit. I was using pure multi but I think I'd want a poly hybrid or the kevlar (forten/ashway mix which I'm a fan of at low tensions). It had enough stability at the 5.0 level. A racquet to check out for those who like lighter feeling player sticks. Consider getting this racquet if you play singles and doubles, especially the latter. If you are just a singles player you might want to do a demo or two before buying.
From:Luke, 3/15

Comments: I was lucky enough to get hold of one of these last week in the UK. I have always had a preference for Prince racquets for the last 25 years and have had skirmishes with Babolat and Head but quickly revert to Prince. Recently I been using the Warrior Pro which I have really enjoyed and it was nice to see a return to traditional grommets in a Prince frame. My first impressions are positive after having it strung in a hybrid of Big Banger and Prince Sythetic gut at 55 lbs (normally I string at 62 lbs in port hole racquets, 59 lbs in the Warrior Pro). The racquet is heavier than I have been using for the last few years, with 300g being my normal weight and I liked the warrior being slightly head heavy as it helps with the one handed backhand. The Textreme Tour 95 seems evenly balanced so not as I would normally use. However after 30 minutes I hardly noticed those small differences and after getting used to the frame it certainly is an excellent racquet. Serving and volleying are very crisp and accurate Great touch, feel and control. Great access to spin and I dont usually hit excessive topspin. Backhand slices are like a knife through butter. It will take e some time to dial in with a drive backhand due to the balance of the racquet but I am sure that will come in time. I played 3 sets of doubles with it and it did not disappoint. I will need to play some more with it though before I retire my trusty Warrior Pro. When my opponents became more aggressive and put me on my back foot I lacked a bit of counter punch power. Similarly, if you don't fully commit to your shot then it feels like you are under hitting. Same with the volley. Maybe not quite as movable for quick net exchanges. Noticeably more power on serve though. Of course it is a less powerful racquet than what I have been playing with -- stiffer, a smaller head size and also heavier so it will take some time to adjust before I get the most out of the racquet. I am sure the benefits will come through though as after only a couple of hours it was obvious that the touch, control and feel of this racquet was a significant step up what I have been using over the last few years. Just need to adjust and I am optimistic that this will be my racquet of choice moving forward. The great paintjob is just the icing on the cake!
From:Mike, 3/15

Comments: I had the privilege of hitting with this racquet last night and it is amazing! It felt just like an extension of my arm -- it swings so easy, and the ball felt great coming off the bed of the strings. I've been searching for a new racquet for a few months now and thought I had come to a decision on one but now I'm caught between a rock and a hard place due to how great this racquet felt. I didn't notice any lack in power compared to the Tennis Warehouse reviews. All my shots felt just as they would with other racquets and didn't feel like I was swinging any harder to get pace behind the ball. The added topspin I was able to generate really allowed me to push my hitting partner further and further off of the baseline which opened up the court and gave me more options. I like to serve and volley quite a bit but unfortunately didn't hit many serves. The few that I did hit felt fine, I didn't try anything out of the ordinary. Volleys on this racquet were so crisp and easy to handle. Thanks Prince for making my decision more difficult.
