Overview

Prince overhauls the Warrior 100 but keeps the same speed and spin-friendly precision of the previous version. This update comes with a solid beam, giving it a wonderfully crisp, lively and accurate response. With its 11.1 ounce static weight and whippy headlight balance, the Warrior 100 is perfect for the intermediate who wants easy access to pace and spin. It should also work well for the advanced player who is finally ready to put down that heavy player's stick for a light option. The feel is exceptional thanks in part to the use of Textreme, a uniquely flexible material that provides a boost in stability without compromising mobility (speed). On groundstrokes this light player's racquet delivers easy depth, and it also feels a tad more arm friendly than many of its stiffer competitors. The open 16x18 string pattern helps with comfort along with supplying the needed bite for bringing the ball down hard. Players looking to rip forehand winners on the dead run should have fun with this stick. At net the Textreme Warrior 100 moves into position with remarkable ease. It isnt as stable as a 12 ounce player's racquet, but the fast feel is perfect for reaction volleys or exploding into the gap for a quick put-away. The speedy response also comes in handy on service returns where the Textreme Warrior 100 comes around fast and delivers good targeting. The Warrior 100 is a very solid option for those who want a maneuverable and spin friendly weapon.

Exceptional Value and Terrific PerformanceAs a high school tennis coach I am often asked by my newer team members what racquets I recommend. For those on a somewhat limited budget, this is always my top recommendation. Solid, stable and very comfortable. This is the type of racquet that you can easily take from intermediate to advanced play. You'll find that it does everything well and has nice power as well as good control. It's an incredible value!

Good performance and great priceThe word versatile is probably the best way to describe this racquet. It is like a Swiss Army knife. Been using it for three years. It plays great with both multi's and poly's. My current setup is Solinco Hyper-G Soft 17 on the mains and Yonex Polytour Air 17 on the crosses at 50/50 (2) and 52/50 (1). Good on groundstrokes and excellent on volleys. Added three grams at three and nine for additional plow power. The weight, balance point, swing weight and stiffness are all in the “middle,” so you can make fine adjustments by adding weight or modifying the string type and tension. For the price, it is a very good option as you can buy three for the price of two of the other brands and have them with different setups for adapting to your opponent's game. If you are going to use poly's, I recommend buying some grommets to keep your racquet in optimal conditions.

Good racquetThe racquet plays well. It has a good amount of power for me and I like the extra open string bed. Just be aware that the quality control is a bit out there.

Prince Warrior 100This is a great racquet. I string the mains with Prince Vortex Triad at 47lbs and Prince Synthetic Gut at 50lbs in the crosses. I get good spin on ground strokes and the serve. I get good power and control. Volleys are crisp. I’m 75, my 42 yr old son gets massive spin and power with it. Plus, it is a nice looking racquet.

Not Quite Like the OriginalSomething happens when racquets are re-released after many years.......and it's not often good. Compared with the original version of this racquet I tried a few decades ago, this one feels more harsh and less dampened. Yes, I'm older but I don't think my perceptions are all that different than they were before. Once you get past this aspect, it's a pretty good racquet. Sometimes a little too powerful such that balls may sail a bit, but serves and volleys are quite good. The 16x18 format makes for plenty of spin. Try it strung below midrange tension to soften the ride a bit.

Great versatile racquetI've demoed 10+ racquets and this is the one. I was looking for a racquet that was easy to swing and easy on the arm since I don't use vibration dampeners. Great for doubles...easy to hammer a big serve plus its easy to swing at the net for volleys. Textreme ATS Tour 100P is also great (better for hitting heavy balls from 4.0 and above), but swings heavier. Strung with Prince Premier Control 16 @ 57 lbs.

ExcellentI play in stock version for almost year. Have two of them. Just protective tape on top of racquet (from 10 to 2), and one overgrip. Excellent spin, good feel, good control for 16/18. Great for first serve. Kirschbaum max power 23/22kg on one, and 24/23kg on other. Very large sweetspot ! Recommend to everyone

love this racquetMy old Textreme Warrior 100 was starting to cause the heel of my hand to hurt, so I bought another with a smaller grip so that I can use two overgrips for more padding. Problem solved.

Good vibration dampeningUsed Wilson BLX Steam 100 for years, 18×20 version. The feedback, aka vibration was causing wrist, arm and shoulder pain. This frame is technologically superior in dampening vibration, head light and fairly stable for volleys. Strung my Warrior 100 with co-poly at 54 lbs. Took me about 5 matches to get used to it but now I'm pain free with much more spin on the ball.

Easy on the armI've used a Wilson BLX Steam 100 18×20 for years strung with poly @57 lbs. Now after experiencing wrist & shoulder pain, I need to change. The Warrior 100 is like driving a Lincoln. It's hard to get used to because vibration is feedback (to me) After about 6 matches l'm getting the hang of it. The frame is powerful so I swing through a little easier & let the racquet do the work. It is head lite & responds well for counterpunching & spin is accessible. Shoulder issues are gone, wrist still aches a little. Volleys are a little wilder but I'm stringing tighter next time. Using Head soft touch Lynx 17 @ 54 lbs now.

ReplacementI tried many racquets a couple of years back and chose the Prince Warrior at that time. I was disappointed when the frame cracked since I loved the racquet. I tried the Warrior Textreme version as a replacement without a trial. I was happy to see the Textreme in hopes it would be more durable than my prior racquet. I found the new racquet to be a little more head-heavy than I expected and it seems to have a wider beam. Based on wear on multi-filament strings (NXT) I find that I must be hitting more balls in the center of the string pattern, which I believe is a benefit. I am hitting a few balls a bit too long with the replacement, but I am getting used to it and generally find it is a good replacement.

Mr. AnonGreat racquet. Cushioned, comfortable response, with more than adequate power. It is easy to handle at the net and baseline. Serves great as well. While it does not afford me the topspin I was looking for, it has good net clearance. And the price point can't be beat. A similar frame would easily cost $100 to $150 more than this model. I highly recommend it for any level of play.

One of the BestThis racquet doesn't have pizazz, bells, or whistles. Just a solid, arm-friendly racquet with the right amount of control and power. I'm primarily a doubles player and have found this frame to be equally suitable from the baseline and at the net. I'd recommend it to any rec player across the 3.0-4.5 range. If you factor in the price, it's the best deal on the market right now. String with your choice of soft poly at 52 lbs. and go to work.

A good option for beginner to intermediateThis racquet generates a lot of topspin and enough power but lacks control for me so I seem to over or under hit. I fall in 4.0+ to 4.5 range.

Previous Feedback  

Comments: I don't know why more intermediate players don't use this racquet. It does everything well. As I have gotten better, I have added some weight to it. I hope they don't change it, or try to replace it.
From: Ted, Austin, TX, 2/21/22

Comments: Been playing 12oz+ 93 or 97 inch racquets for years. Phantom 93, Blade 93, VCORE Pro HD. I always love them on good days, but I know they don't help me when I'm not feeling my game. This racquet is totally not my style spec-wise, but wow its a gem. Controllable power, touch, feel and fast, but stable for its weight. The beam doesn't seem as thick and bulky as the measurements may lead you to believe. I'm going to keep it stock and possibly put a leather grip on it, but why mess with perfection? It's like a players racquet on easy mode. Really happy I took the chance with this one.
From: Dee, West Coast, 2/18/22

Comments: I'm a strong intermediate who's been playing with the Prince Textreme Warrior 100 for a couple of years and I probably play my best tennis with it. There's nothing really standout about it, but it does most things really well. During the time I've had it, I either bought or demo'ed two Yonex EZONE DR's and the newest 98 released in 2020, a VCORE 98, a Textreme 100 (310g), a Wilson Blade 98, a couple of Babolat Pure Aeros, a couple of Head Radical MP's, and a bunch more. I keep coming back to the Warrior 100. Strung with poly mains and multi crosses around 50 lbs and under, this unassuming stick does the business for me. I have also added some weight in the handle and a few grams in the hoop at 3 & 9 (about 1.5g each side) that provided a little more stability and plough through, which I felt it needed. Having hit so many racquets, I find this Prince hard to criticize; for me it's simply a good all-around frame at a great price.
From: Rich, London, UK 9/15/21

Comments: I know I'm late to the party, but after trying 10+ demos, this was the clear winner for me. I tried everything with comparable specs from Babolat, Head, Wilson, Yonex, etc. but none of them came close to how well this racquet plays and feels. I'm a 4.25 all-court player and have my racquets strung with Tecnifibre Triax 16G at 55. It's also good to know Prince is still making high quality racquets.
From: David, 6/30/21Tampa, Florida

Comments: Just played the Warrior 100 for the first time this weekend. It came pre-strung with Wilson Synthetic Gut 16 gauge at 55 lbs. This racquet has plenty of power and generates great spin. It has lots of pop on the serve, too. I found a few shots sailing when I took a full crack at the ball. I think that this will be remedied by Head Sonic Edge 15 gauge at 60 lbs. All in all I love it, five stars!
From: Steve, 3/11/19

Comments: I demoed this together with the new Babolat Pure Drive. The Babolat has more power, but it hurt my wrist, elbow, and shoulder. This Prince offers great control and cushioning and is a better all-around racquet. I had it strung with Luxilon Big Banger Ace at 50lbs.
From:Jake, 6/23/18

Comments: I have played with my Wilson Steam BLX 100 sticks since their release. I have to admit, the reliability of my beloved BLX 100s and the surgical precision they've provided me for many years made it very hard for me to give them up but alas, they're pretty beat up and have served me well. I looked and tested the Wilson Black 98 Contravail, Head Instinct and Babolat Pure Strike 98. They're all great racquets but I just didn't get the feel I like in my BLX 100. I saw the Prince Textreme Warrior 100 at and decided to test it after reading some reviews. After rallying with it for about 30 minutes with my hitting partner, I was totally in love with it! I was so impressed with this stick..I bought two..strung'em with Tourna Big Hitter Black 7 -mains @54lbs and Prince Classic SynGut with Duraflex crosses at 56 lbs, both 17 gauge. With this set-up, this racquet is badass. Outstanding spin, pace and plow-through to move opponents around with depth and control from both wings..deft touch at the net, sufficient put-away power with excellent control and pop on serve. I do think I will add a little lead tape at 9 and 3 for a bit more power. The best thing I loved about this stick -- it's really arm-friendly for this 60 years young 4.0 club player who can still hand out a few butt whippings to the youngsters.
From:K.D., 3/10/18

Comments: Added a Tourna Power Cap and Solinco Heaven overgrip to the handle, then added lead to 12, 3 and 9, now 12.2 ounces and 7pts HL. My go to racquet and I can really serve a variety of nice serves with enough pace and shape to get good second or third shot put away. Allows me to hit with fellow seniors as well as young "guns."
From:Steven, 9/25/17

Comments: The comments are spot on from consumers and Tennis Warehouse on this racquet. It is very arm friendly with an RA of only 66 and yet very powerful. I string it with a full bed of Volkl Cyclone tour 18g at 55 lbs, a soft poly, to control its easy power. My arm/elbow issues have gone away with this stick. I am a 69 year old male, and on a good day a 4.5.
From:Jose, 9/9/17

Comments: Well I have had this racquet for two weeks now and I am struggling to decide between my Yonex EZone DR 98 of the Warrior 100. For be believe it or not I think they play similar I had both strung with Vokal Synthitic gut at 58 but for the little larger Head size and llittle more power i had the warrior 100 strung to low so I was loosing a little control so I am having it restrung at 60. I think this racquet kinda bridges the gap between a full tweener like a Head Extreme XT and a modern players racquet like the DR 98. It gives you the plow though and stability like a heavier racquet but at a lighter arm friendly Weaght. I think this can be used by any one with maybe adding a little tape for weaght, I mean John Isner uses this set up for his spec so I think any one can get this set up to their liking.
From:Greg, 7/31/17

Comments: Great racquet for this 62 year old who some call a sandbagging 4.5, although I don't play USTA. Strung with Genesis Pro Advantage at 48 lbs. Looks like my 6 Prince Classic Graphite 100s will be hanging in the closet along with the POG/PCG 107s and 93 POGs.
From:Steven, 7/1/17

Comments: I agree with every aspect of Tennis Warehouse's review. It plays exactly how the review says it does. Great tweener racquet for those 3.0-4.0 rated players who probably shouldn't be using an modern player's racquet. The best part about this racquet it allows me to play a full, difficult 3 set game at max effort without wearing down my arm. It doesn't matter if I play amazing with something like a Pure Drive or Blade 98 for 1 hour, because afterwards I have to conserve energy to prevent fatigue. This racquet has great power, great spin, solid feel, excellent maneuverability, and sufficient stability for the intended demographic. A 3.5 rated player probably isn't playing against opponents with a huge cannon arm, or else he/she is out of their league anyway. One tradeoff of the free power is that my shots aren't as heavy as like a Pure Drive or Blade 98.
From:Dennis, 6/4/17

Comments: I am a B+ league player (A+ being the highest level) and I just bought this racquet and strung it with Luxilon Ace. I string all my racquets from 45 to 48 lbs, I like them low in tension. I started off at 46 lbs but I did not like it. I thought I had wasted money on this racquet. But when I cut out the strings and restrung it after 3 matches , I strung it at 42 lbs and wow! The whole feel became different. Good power, good spin, nice touch shots, serves were powerful and accurate. I know not everyone is as crazy as me with low tension concept. But personally, this worked wonders for my game. Glad I found this new partner for my game.
From:Eric, 5/30/17

Comments: I love this racquet. I am a 50+ (perhaps about a 4.0) player coming from the Aero Pro Drive which just started to give me mild arm problems. The Warrior is just what the doctor ordered. No arm problems and no major adjustment with this super headlight balance. I hit topspin with ease and note the effect on my one-handed backhand, which has improved with less effort. If there is a problem area, then it's the volley where the super headlight balance costs me some stability, but I am sure I'll adjust. What this stick does not have is plow through, but at my age/level, the game is not about power in my shots, but about control, variability and maintaining technique. I demoed against the Pure Drive (ouch), Wilson Burn (old version, ouch too), Head Instict (nice and comfy too but less powerful compared to the Prince). All in all, I am really happy and think that this stick is worth a demo if you are a senior player with some arm issues. I am still testing strings, right now I am playing with Babolat RPM Blast on mains, Solinco Tour Bite Soft on crosses. No problem whatsoever with this setup while it gave me immediate arm problems on the Aero Pro Drive.
From:Fred, 2/10/17

Comments: Simply a great stick! Have been on an extended demo search for the past few months, more racquets than I can even remember trying. Typically, I have always favored 12 ounce plus sticks, but was trying out a few that were a little lighter (11.5-12) to get some more maneuverability off of the ground. Was doing a long term demo on the Textreme Tour 95 and the Textreme 100P, and really liking the feel and performance of both. On a whim I picked up a used Warrior off of the message boards, thinking it was going to be too light (it was) but wanted to make sure I didn't miss something. So glad I did! At first, it was too light and too quick relative to what I was used to, but after I added 6 grams of lead at 10 and 2, along with a heavier grip plus a little lead under the handle, they are simply perfect at 335 grams. Really solid with good plow through, almost no vibration, excellent control and comfort given that it is supposed to be a more powerful racquet. Not quite as powerful as a Pure Drive, but a little flexier, much more comfortable and alot more controllable. Does everything well, the 16x18 pattern isn't the most open pattern you'll hit with, it plays more like a 16x19 with how the strings are spaced, so it doesn't tend to launch the ball the way some open patterned racquets do. If you haven't hit a Textreme racquet, I urge you to try one, they all have a really solid feel that is just a little different from what the other companies are doing. I'm in my mid fifties, play mainly singles at the 4.5-5.0 level, hit a one-handed backhand and play with moderate amounts of spin off of both sides. Using Weiss Cannon Ultra Cable in a full bed at 52 lbs.
From:Steve, 12/16

Comments: I really like Prince racquets. They have thinner beams, are arm friendly and always have good control and feel. They also have the perfect grip shape for me with just enough but cap flare. This Warrior had all that but it felt like I was swinging air, way too light. I assume Prince wants this racquet to compete against the Pure Aero but in stock form, it's no comparison. Get the spec to come in at 11.6 and 6 points headlight instead of 11.1 and 6 and it could take market share because the Warrior has a little better feel and precision than the Aero and is more arm friendly than the Wilson Blade.
From:Chris, 12/16

Comments: Probably overshadowed by the more popular 100T or 100P I think the Warrior deserves a bit more attention. This is a great frame. User friendly and no adjustment period required. I could hit with this and not even realize it is not my racquet (apart from being much lighter). Crisp, stable, quick and powerful. Great spin production to keep the ball in and power to end the point. I thought I might get a few balls launched into the fence with the extra power but wasn't the case. I did hit a few into the fence but I knew they would the moment the ball left the strings as the shot was ill timed. I never struck a groundstroke that felt good to me but left me head scratching why it sailed long. I tested this along side the 100T and 100P. This one out does the 100T in every department except in the mobility (since the 100T is lighter). I had a hard time deciding between this and the 100p as there were traits that one did better ever so slightly over the other. While the 100P was slightly better on serves and return due to the higher weight, the Warrior 100 had a bit more speed and forgiveness which made it more versatile to attack and defend. There was a noticeable drop in power when off center on the 100P and the ball would just hit the top of the net but the tighter pattern made flattening out shots a piece of cake! In the end, the Warrior 100 gave me the more of an all around racquet where the 100P felt like it suited an attacking game. If my timing and movement was sluggish on any given day or was forced to defend more, I'd take the Warrior.
From:Anonymous, 12/16

Comments: The racquet is in a crowded low 11 ounce, 100 square inch range. I chose this one over others for its excellent overall performance. Most importantly, it has a nice feel, plays crisp but does it without being arm unfriendly like the Babolats and 100 square inch Yonex racquets. Strung with Black 17 Cyclone.
From:Jim, 11/16

Comments: I'm a 4.0 all-courter who dominates with the forehand. I was looking for a stick that was muted, but not so muted that I couldn't feel the ball (like some of the Pro Staffs). This is the best racquet I've played with since I started tennis. It's a little light for my game and I felt like the stability was lacking tremendously so I added lead to the 3 and 9 o'clock and counterbalanced it in the handle, after that I added my favorite poly (Wilson Revolve) in my mains, Luxilon ALU Rough in my crosses and bam! I found myself being way more consistent and getting that feeling that I "can't miss" more offen. Strung at 60 lbs, I can really go for my shots and not be afraid of the ball going long (due to the 16x18 string pattern). I would recommend this racquet to any player that has a developed game and likes to rip the cover off the ball.
From:Anonymous, 11/16

Comments: Very good racquet. I had hesitations with the light weight but it didn't bother me at all. It was pretty stable and comfy even with heavy groundies coming from the other side. Spin and power are the best traits of this stick. Returns were also good. Serves weren't as solid as those with more mass but you can hit a decent kicker with this one. I would recommend it to someone who needs a bit of extra help with generating power. Don't worry too much about control because you can always work it out with different string options.
From:Anonymous, 10/16

Comments: Took it out for demo today -- a good racquet, arm friendly, good power and decent spin. Felt more head heavy than the specs indicate. But I am sticking with my Textreme Tour 95, which has less power, but more control and stability, especially on volleys and off center hits.
From:Anonymous, 4/16

Comments: Great racquet. Stable, maneuverable, arm friendly, excellent combination of power and control. Very happy I purchased it. Thanks TW for the great support and customer service. Strung with Prince Synthetic Gut 16 at 55 lbs.
From:Gilad, 3/16

Comments: I will likely be switching to this frame from my old Prince Tour 100 18x20. A very comfortable and player's friendly racquet (even with the light weight). Looking forward to playing some great tennis with this stick!
