Prince Premier Control
Firm Tri-Core center surrounded by soft multifilament fibers
Performance ratings
Overview
Prince Premier Control is the control version of the Premier multifilament line. A firm Tri-Core center sits inside soft fibers, which Prince sums up as phenomenal comfort with controllable power. It costs well under most premium multifilaments and comes in three gauges plus a reel, which makes it a practical soft string for juniors who restring often.
Best for
- Juniors who want a soft string with some control
- Players with arm sensitivity
- Budget-conscious families wanting a multifilament
- Soft cross string in a hybrid
Not ideal for
- Heavy topspin string breakers
- Maximum spin seekers
- Players who want a crisp poly feel
Pros
- Comfortable multifilament feel

Cons

Stringer notes
Multifilament: avoid kinks and pull tension smoothly. Firmer core than most multis.
Break-in period
Minimal. Plays well from the first hit.
When to replace
Every 10-15 hours or when fraying and tension loss become noticeable.
