Prince still has clear ranges for club players: Tour 2026 for all-court play, Phantom for feel and control, Ripstick and Ripcord for spin and pace, plus Twistpower with its unusual twisted throat.
What each range feels like, who it suits and what to check.
Balanced all-court
Who it’s for: Club players who want a versatile Prince frame for everyday singles and doubles.
Tour 2026 is the sensible Prince starting point when you want a balanced, modern club demo rather than a specialist control or power racket.
Feel and control
Who it’s for: Players who value touch, connection and a more deliberate response.
Phantom is Prince’s feel-and-control range. It suits players who already make their own pace and want the racket to stay predictable through the ball.
Spin and lively launch
Who it’s for: Baseline players who want help creating shape and a higher-energy response.
Ripstick is Prince’s spin range. Start here when launch and shape matter more than a traditional control feel.
Accessible pace
Who it’s for: Club players after easier power and depth without starting with a classic control frame.
Ripcord is Prince’s easier-power range. Use it as the comparison when Ripstick sounds too spin-specific but you still want help from the frame.
Different flex on forehand and backhand
Who it’s for: Players who want to try something different — and left-handers, who need the left-handed version.
Prince says Twistpower’s twisted throat makes the racket flex differently on forehands and backhands, which is why there are separate left-handed versions. Demo it before you buy, and make sure you get the right-handed or left-handed model.
Rackets in the same range get updated every year or two, and shops sometimes label the same racket with different years. Before you buy, check the model year, head size and grip on the shop or brand page, and try a demo if you can. TeXtreme is a Prince technology name, not a separate range.
