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.
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.
The French multi-poly fusion that sits between soft multis and firm co-polys—crisper aim and better snapback than NXT/X-One, still arm-friendlier than ALU, with the usual multi fray tax at a premium set price.
