Prince Tour
Prince Tour represents the pinnacle of the brand's ball technology in 2026. Featuring **Hi-Vis Felt** for optimum visibility and a **Dynamic Core** made from a pure rubber compound, this ball is built for tournament conditions. In 2026, it is frequently compared to the Wilson US Open for its ability to 'bite' the strings and provide exceptional spin potential. Its primary differentiator is the 'premium firm-neutral' feel, which offers a slightly more solid impact that advanced competitors prefer for precision shot-making. Pressure retention is rated as excellent, with many 2026 testers noting that the balls are still usable for practice sets even days after the initial can was opened. It is the go-to Prince ball for competitive match play where performance cannot be compromised.
