It's a very arm friendly string...I've been using Prince Premier Touch (PPT) strings for at least five years. I switched from full poly to a poly/PPT hybrid setup because of elbow issues. This string has good power and touch, but feels inadequate in terms of power if it's used as the only string. However, when you use it as a cross to a poly main, it is awesome in reducing pain/discomfort on your arm while still delivering enough pop on your shots.
Prince Premier TouchIt is soft, which is excellent if you have tennis elbow. However it did not provide much in the way of control. I could not really swing out for fear of the ball flying long.
Favorite stringPrince please keep making this amazing string and TW please keep selling it. I've tried many multifilament strings and finally found the answer. The Prince Premier Touch 16g is truly unique- unlike any string I've used- and is my favorite by far. I use soft multifilament strings now due to wrist issues, but the tradeoff is durability as I break them very quickly. I love the Prince Premier Touch 16g because this string is both easier on the arm *and* more durable than any other multi I've tried. Some purists may not like the unique feel, but it's worth a try if you've ever had arm soreness. Thank you Prince.

Comments: Due to some chronic arm issues I've been trying a wide variety of strings in an effort to find a combination that gives me decent power, spin and control, but most importantly is very soft and comfortable. I finally found my answer. I've strung my Volkl Organix v1 MP at 50 pounds with Prince Premier Power in the mains and Prince Premier Touch in the crosses. This string combination is simply outstanding, super plush feel, very soft and comfortable, but still has very good control, power and spin. For me it just does everything well. After having tried so many other string combinations that weren't quite right, it feels great to find a combination that really works for me. For those wanting to soften up their current string setup, try using Prince Premier Touch in the crosses. You might be surprised what you find.

Comments: Easy on the arm, great feel. Barely any spin and definitely not the most perfect string out there, however, I had the return of my life on my last match (just on my second go with this string, full bed). Forces you hit almost flat. I would love to experiment further using a hybrid or perhaps a different racquet.

Comments: This string for me didn't live up to the hype. It was sold to me as being almost like a natural gut, while it is soft for me, I could not get it to work in a full bed. I enjoyed other strings much more. The Tecnifibre X-One and the Head Reflex are in my opinion better strings than the Prince Premier Touch.

Comments: Prince Premier Touch is a nice comfortable string for my arm. I like it. I used it in a Hybrid with a poly to soften up the string bed/add some power and it worked well.
From:Andy, 10/6/17
Comments: I can only recommend this string as half of a hybrid setup. I tried it in three separate and very distinct frames as a full bed and got the same result. Not enough control. Not enough bite. I won't string it tighter than 60 lbs because I have had tennis elbow. As the crosses in a soft poly setup it works to make the stringbed manageable in terms of arm friendliness. I wanted to like this but after trying it in three very different frames I must conclude that you need to string it over 60 lbs or as a cross string to soften a poly setup.

Comments: This string is very good as a cross. It is slippery and remains slippery, comfortable, and powerful. As a main, it does not provide enough spin.
From:Charles, 8/8/17
Comments: Awesome string. I can play for hours with no pain in my elbow or shoulder, good feel, power and exceptional control. I was onto the Volkl line of strings but know they are stiff and was hesitant to try these for I knew they would not play the same or have the "bite" I was looking for -- but wow, I found a new string that is even better -- the Prince Premier like it says, has the touch! I am even serving better and with more power and not sacrificing my elbow to pain from the other poly strings I have been using. I'm a 4.0 player.

Comments: When I switched from a poly to multi, I started my multi with Prince Premier Touch. I tried other multi strings only to come back to this string. It plays like a multi with better durability. The PPT has a lot of power, so prepare to string tighter than normal to reign in some control. The comfort is out of the world soft. PPT is great hybrided with a stiff poly. The only thing is the PPT has high friction, so it affects the snap back of the poly main. When you use the PPT as a main with a poly, you can expect it to be more durable than most multi/poly hybrids.

Comments: I've used this string several times in hybrids and once in a full bed. The full bed was way too powerful, but as a cross string in a hybrid (with poly mains) it does a great job of softening up the stringbed. The feel is very muted, but the comfort is as close to natural gut as you can get really. While the durability is also better than most other multifilaments on the market, it does start to flatten out and lose its roundness after several hours of usage when used as a cross in a hybrid. The good thing is that it doesn't fray -- at least from my experiences it hasn't. I would suggest raising the tension a few pounds though, since it's very powerful.
