Prince updates the Phantom Pro 100 with a thicker, more powerful beam but keeps the outstanding playability and sublime feel of the previous generation. This update is ideal for the intermediate or advanced player who wants a lively and spin-friendly player’s racket with above average control and comfort.
For this update Prince adds its Anti-Torque System, which features Textreme and Twaron in both the shaft and at 10 and 2 o’clock in the upper frame. The upshot is less frame torque at impact, resulting in a more powerful and stable hitting experience. This stick also packs a variable CTS Beam, which deploys a wonderfully thin 18mm shaft for outstanding ball feedback.
This racket offers a plush feel on ground strokes, and it rewards full swings with the kind of precision that inspires confidence. The Phantom 100X (305g) remains one of the more flexible and arm-friendly rackets in its weight class.
It also packs an open 16×18 string pattern, giving it enough spin-potential to bring the ball down hard. At net the Phantom 100X comes around with relative ease to deliver great touch and placement. Clean mechanics are rewarded with penetrating depth. Advanced players looking for rock-solid stability will find plenty for weight customisation. On serve this racket whips easily through contact to deliver easy targeting.
All in all, by combining a slightly more solid beam with some incremental tweaks to the feel, Prince has delivered a very impressive update. If you are looking for a modern player’s racket with above average feel and comfort, this one is hard to beat.

Trying out a racket before you buy can be a great way of making sure you get the correct racket for you. We have invested in creating a huge range of demo rackets for our customers to try. There are two different ways of testing rackets with us. Please read carefully before borrowing a racket. Our demo rackets are kept in the best condition possible and restrung whenever needed. However we cannot restring demo rackets specifically for each customer.
1) Pick up a racket in store: A deposit of £5 per racket will be charged each time you demo a racket. This is non refundable but will be taken off any future purchase of those frames (not transferrable to other items). Only one £5 fee can be taken off each purchase. Customers are allowed to borrow up to THREE rackets each time, subject to availability for up to 1 week. You will be expected to return rackets to the shop promptly otherwise future testing may be refused.
2) Demo by post: To borrow a racket test when you can't make it to our store, find the racket you like on our site, select the demo option (not available on every racket) and place your order, paying the £49.99 deposit. Only ONE racket may be sent at a time by post. We will send out your ordered demo racket as soon as one is available (there may be a waiting list). Customers will be expected to return the demo racket after up to 1 week of light playtesting. Return the racket in the box they came in by your choice of courier. We suggest Parcelforce, DHL or UPS. Please note this will be at your own expense.
After the racket is received back at the shop we will send you a discount code to get £30.00 off your chosen racket. If you choose not to buy that racket we will refund £30.00 of your deposit.
We reserve the right to reduce the amount of discount/refund at our managers discretion should any demo rackets come back damaged more than we feel is reasonable for playtesting. If rackets are not returned for any reason including being lost in transit then deposits will not be refunded. You will not be charged for any string breakages whilst testing a racket.
