I got a Prince beast 100 through you with restring sync @50lbs , Shawn was very helpful. Amazing racket, power, comfort and control. No elbow stiffness unlike the pure drive. Look forward to more Prince rackets 👌🤗
Couldn't find any RA specs for the Beast. My Ezone Tour (2022) has a 64, that's not too harsh. Regna sits at 63, never hurts anybody. 16/20 seems to be the go to pattern right now. But overall I couldn't contradict your list even if I tried to. There's just so many more really good racquets out there.
I don't know about the 98, but the 100 is supposed to be RA 67 (actually, it probably feels less stiff than my Ezone 100, but definitely more so than my Prince ATS Tour 100P, perhaps similar to my Ezone 98, but the latter feels more "solid" - perhaps due to VDM)
@mihu86 Ezone 100 is stiffer than 98. I guess the Prince Beast is more or less the same. But not everybody needs to like it. I remember Marc Sensait having serious wrist issues after testing the Ezone.
I bought a Prince Beast 100/280 for my wife (not through PH, sorry, it was deeply discounted). It came highly overspec. Sent it back, got another one equally overspec. Might have been the same batch. +7g, +1cm balance, SW320 strung. (I had to add weight to the handle to make the balance better at least.) It is so strange and disappointing considering that I have two ATS Tour 100Ps, bought different times from different sellers, and they are both spot on (maybe 1g diff, strung SW 322.5 and 323, almost exactly what TW advertised)
Great choice although I don’t disagree with some of your opinions. E.g. surprised that you found the speed too light as they actually bumped up the SW for this version. Your copy might be under spec.
Prince beast is fantastic yes, but i could only get the 98 o3 as the 100 is too powerful and the 98 without the o3 isn't available. I sold it as i hate, really hate stringing the o3 ports on my machine. I have multiple rackets in my bag: Vcore 95 (last 2 versions) Gravity pro (1st gen, under spec swing weight 330) Gravity mp auxetic Speed mp (old grapheneXT ltd version with 22mm beam) Percept 97 Pro staff 97rf v13 (under spec, 330 swing weight)
I have both. 98 is more forgiving and can be almost as controlled granted you’re a top spin player. 95 has a crisper feel on contact and is more unstable but that can be fixed with a little weight at 3 and 9. For your arm sake I’d go with the 98

Yonex vcore 98. Probably the best racket I've ever played with

So when is the beast 98 gonna be for sale?
It is in Germany. Available with O3 ports as well.
The Beast Tour 98 isn't available anywhere in the united states. What would be its replacement? Would it be the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98?
The Tours (all of them) are great but no real replacement in the US right now unfortunately. Sad we missed out on the new Beasts

Interesting and not mainstream
Have you tried VCORE 95? If yes, what makes the 98 better in your opinion?
I have both. 98 is more forgiving and can be almost as controlled granted you’re a top spin player. 95 has a crisper feel on contact and is more unstable but that can be fixed with a little weight at 3 and 9. For your arm sake I’d go with the 98
@ ok, thanks for the answer!
We can you even find the Beast 98 on your website??
Yes we only have it in-store, give us a call
And we can sort you one if wanted!
Interesting I own the beast 100 lb ( John Isner) and I love it, also for my onehanded bh
The 100lb is hard to manoeuvre because of its massive weight, but it really plows through the ball.
@ no worries with it
Prince make the best racquets on the market, no question
Yea no
What? They are barely in business sold via TW only. Not to argue.....but what makes you say that?
@@JoelDarnall there’s anything to argue because it’s not true lol
@@JoelDarnall Generally recognised as having the best design and build quality.
Any idea why tennis warehouse Europe doesn’t sell the Beast 98?
It’s limited distribution! We can get it for you if required.
In Japan you get this Prince in red…
Man this whole list is about rackets with low RA. I guess there's a racket for anyone
Actually, the Beast is supposed to be RA 67. Might feel lower in reality (but it definitely feels more stiff than my ATS Tour 100P)
