Before I launch in, RR got its O3 of the shelf with some of the old Technifibre 315, the dark green one that frays like you wouldn't believe. The Tour has very good touch to go with its funky fan string pattern, and is quite head light to allow wristy players to bring the racquet around with some vigor. A small circumference handle allows smaller hands around the racquet, and bigger hands can just grip thicker. But, in short, sadly the O3 tour is kind of superfluous in today society.
Back in the day, there was the Silver and the Tour. I found the Tour to be a Silver minus the power. Kind of like light beer... or day time TV. That being said, when you found the very middle, the racquet performed with power as advertised.
Now with the O3 Black, I think the Tour's days are probably numbered. If you're reaaaly keen on a Tour, try and test it first. If you're keen on Prince in general, get an O3 Black, which is silver, or a Silver, which actually has more black on it than the black - Hmmmmm.
