Different accounts on Instagram have revealed new Prince Beast racquets. So far, I have seen nothing about a Prince Beast 98.
New Prince Beast Racquets
The new Prince Beast racquets I’ve seen are three versions of the Prince Beast 100. There are many fans of the Prince Beast 98, but I’m not sure we will see that racquet return.
The Prince Beast is a power line from Prince, similar to Twistpower. Not sure exactly how different they are. The Prince ATS Tours are more like a HEAD Speed with a thinner beam and lower stiffness. The Ripsticks are more spin-oriented and comfortable with aggressive o-ports promoting string movement. The Phantoms are all about comfort, control, and feel. But Prince also have racquets like the Vortex and Synergy, which can be confusing.
There is no question that they keep producing high-quality racquets, but consumers might appreciate clarity on which racquets in the Prince line-up might suit them better because it is not straightforward.
