Verdict
The gold-standard natural gut—TW-perfect power and comfort scores, legendary feel and tension hold—$65/set or $35 half-set for the hybrid mains Court List was missing next to ALU / RPM / Hyper-G.
The silver co-poly that defined modern control stringing—firm, precise, and still the tour benchmark if you swing hard and restring often.
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.
