Verdict
The yellow spin frame club players still mean when they say Aero—Gen9 is a bit more muted than the 2023 beast, still the clearest primary demo in the spin lane.
Prince's 2026 Tour 100 310g, with 16x18, 63 RA, and swingweight 321, is a quick, stable control-leaning 100 that TW's testers loved, but it's a player's frame at $249 that most testers wanted to add a bit of lead to.
A shaped poly that still bites after a couple of weeks — if you do not copy a tour tension.
