What players say
Reviewers describe the Prince ATS Textreme Tour 98 as a modern, versatile 98 that lands between the Ezone 98 and Blade 98 in power, with easy access to depth and spin without feeling stiff or harsh. Playtesters across Tennis Warehouse's US and European teams gave it high marks for control, comfort, and maneuverability, with almost no complaints beyond the cosmetics and a demanding swing weight for less advanced players.
Best for
- Intermediate to advanced modern-style players
- Attacking players who want precision over raw power
- Players who want easy topspin from an open pattern
- All-court players moving forward to net
Pros
- Controllable, not overwhelming power
- Strong, easy spin generation from the open 16x19 pattern
- Plush, arm-friendly feel with good feedback at contact
- Stable yet maneuverable despite its weight
- Versatile enough for baseline and net play
Cons
- High swing weight (325) makes it harder for less advanced players to handle
- Tougher to maneuver than the previous Prince Tour model
- Not an especially spin-focused frame compared to true spin racquets
- Cosmetic look was a letdown for at least one playtester

The Prince 98 is somewhere in between an Ezone 98 and a Blade 98 in power level.

If you're an attacking player relying on precision, the 98 is the way to go.
