This spin monster combines an ultra open string pattern with outstanding feel and explosive speed
With the Warrior 100 ESP, Prince brings back the Extreme String Pattern that was originally launched at the end of 2013. With its 14x16 string pattern, this model has one of the most open string patterns we've ever seen. In addition to giving you a higher trajectory for easy depth, this stick is an absolute spin-monster, making it particularly dangerous in the hands of aggressive topspin players and those who like to slice and dice. It also packs a low swingweight, giving it explosive acceleration from the baseline and raw speed at net. In addition to benefiting from Textreme, which gives Prince racquets their distinctively plush and stable response, the Warrior ESP also has a softer, more tendon friendly feel than the majority of its competitors. Recommended to intermediate and advanced players who want speed, spin and power. Did we mention the spin?

Comments: Ive used the Prince Phantom 93p 14x18 for the past couple years and really enjoyed its solid feel, launch angle, spin capability and comfort. I just felt that I needed a racquet with a bit more power without sacrificing the very open string pattern I came to love. This Warrior 100 ESP peaked my interest as a possible solution. I purchased it and have now played with it for 2 weeks (5 days a week). I first added weight to the racquet to bring it up to the specs I like and was accustomed to. Expecting numerous hitting sessions to get accustomed to the new racket, but surprised to say the racket fit like a glove almost right away. All of my shots were more accurate, more powerful, with more spin, and the more generous sweet spot with the larger head was noticed right away. I honestly cant think of one downside of this racquet. Its everything I wanted. My kick serves are heavier and kick more and my slices are more wicked than ever. Im now 3-0 in matches over this 2 week span with the new racquet and beaten a guy Ive never been able to beat with the old racquet. Prince did a great job with this racquet and it does have a high launch angle which is what I was already accustomed to. I hope Prince keeps making this for years to come. I have purchased 3 of them already and excited to put it in play in numerous tournaments this summer. I am a 4.0 pure serve and volleyer singles player.
