Overview
Introducing the second generation of the popular Phantom 100. Named theO3 Phantom 100X, this stick gives intermediate and advanced players a unique combination of speed, spin and comfort. For this update Prince has created a slightly firmer beam, resulting in a tad more pop along with a little more stability on off-center contact. Like the previous version, this racquet packs Prince's time testedO3 Technology, which uses enlarged grommet holes to createone of the most comfortably dampened player's racquets on the market.This update also retains theCTS Technology,which deploys variable beam widths to optimize ball feedback and energy return. For 2020 Prince adds itsAnti-Torque Systemto the O3 Phantom 100X. This technology features Textreme and Twaron in both the shaft and at 10 and 2 o'clock in the hoop. The upshot is less racquet torque at impact, resulting in a more stable and powerful hitting experience.From the baseline the O3 Phantom 100X is fast and spin-friendly, with a uniquely low-vibration feel on off-center contact. In addition to supplying impressive bite, the 16x18 string pattern provides a robust trajectory for those who like hitting high arching balls that drop hard. At net the Phantom O3 100X comes around fast for its weight to deliver a solid feel. Aggressive servers should have no problem generating effective spin and pop, and there's more than enough control to swing big on returns. Ultimately, with some incremental updates to the feel, Prince kept a good thing going.Players looking for a modern player's racquet with easy targeting and big comfort will be hard pressed
