Overview
Endorsed by John Isner, the Prince Beast 100 Longbody is, by all accounts, a beast of a racket. Built to Isner's spec, this 69,8cm stick is heavier and longer than the standard Beast 100. With its hefty, tour-level swingweight, the Beast 100 LB provides dangerous levels of power and spin for those who can deploy its mass. As such, it is best suited to experienced players who can handle a heavier swinging racket. It features the second generation of Textreme, a uniquely flexible material matrix that has been updated with Twaron for a more dampened feel at impact.
On groundstrokes, the Beast 100 LB packs impressive stability and plow through, giving it a very solid feel against heavy pace. Granted, it is harder to swing than a standard length racket, but the reward for bringing this stick around fast is genuine knock-out power. On volleys, the Beast 100 LB does not get pushed around. Simple blocks provide easy depth, and there's impressive power to be had on punch volleys. This racket's extended length is a huge asset on serves where the higher net clearance and extra pop are unmistakable. The higher swingweight comes in handy on service returns where you'll have the needed mass to redirect the pace of a big first serve deep into opposing territory. Although the Beast 100 LB can be challenging to swing, it delivers massive power to those who can swing it effectively. The stable feel at contact is a very nice bonus.
