Updated with a sleek black cosmetic for 2023, the Beast 100 (280g) is perfect for the intermediate player looking to play aggressive tennis.  At 280 grams unstrung, this racket comes around very fast, making it easy to load the ball with pace and spin. Like the other Beast 100 models, this racket's thick beam delivers a crisp and lively feel. It also featuresPrince's Anti-Torsion System (ATS), which combines TexTreme and Twaron in the shaft and upper hoop to deliver a smoother, more stable hitting experience. From the baseline, the Beast 100 (280g) feels comfortably crisp. Although it is lighter and faster than the standard 300 gram Beast 100, it still packs enough swingweight to feel solid when the pace goes up. Topspin players will appreciate the 16x19 string pattern, which supplies the needed bite to bring the ball down sharply with spin. At net the Beast 100 (280g) moves fast, but it also has decent stability, which helps when redirecting pace. Like other members of the Beast family, this racket's spin-friendly precision will enable aggressive servers to ramp up the pace and select ambitious targets. Ultimately, the Beast 100 (280g) is a great option for the intermediate player who wants to hit with power and spin.
