NEW PRINCE POWER RACKETS NOW AVAILABLE


Power, maneuverability and comfort come together in the continued evolution of the Silver racquet line. The EXO3 Silver features the patented Energy Bridge and Energy Channel. The Energy Bridge suspends the string bed from the frame.. The head heavy balance and 27.5" extended length help generate power off compact swings, making this EXO3 Silver an impressive choice for players who feel they are lacking power.


Prince's reliable Blue gets updated and becomes a more stable offering in this EXO3 edition. With all new EXO3 technology, the EXO3 Blue ups the comfort level, too. This version of the Blue places more weight in the head of the racquet, greatly improving stability as well as increasing power on a medium paced swing. The Prince EXO3 Blue racquet features the patented Energy Bridge and Energy Channel. Having the strings only touch the outer edge of the frame makes the racquet play like a racquet with a larger headsize. As with previous versions of the Blue, this one offers easy access to spin and enough power to please improving beginner through intermediate level players.


Matching many of the specs of the O3 Speedport Red, the EXO3 Red adds EXO3 technology, increasing on an already expansive sweet spot. This racquet is a great update to the already popular Speedport Red with its excellent maneuverability and speed through the air. From the baseline the EXO3 Red has a solid feel with a generous sweet spot that provided good depth and penetration off both sides. The open string pattern lends itself to offer good spin and a lively feel. Extremely effective at net, offering a powerful punch for putaways. On serve, this racquet cuts through the air efficiently, providing plenty of racquet head speed that enables good ball velocity on flat serves and good action on slice and kick serves.

NEW PRINCE CONTROL RACKETS NOW AVAILABLE


This lighter, whippier version of the Prince EXO3 Ignite 95 offers easier access to spin and improved mobility over the regular version. The close to even balance puts some mass behind shots without sacrificing the maneuverable feel. From the baseline you are able to generate lots of pace while still finding plenty of control thanks its spin-friendliness. This racket offers a nice bite from the stringbed, making this racquet particularly helpful when looking to attack short balls with both pace and spin. At net the EXO3 Ignite Team feels fast and agile. There's a nice comfortable feel at impact, although this one doesn't feel quite as muted as its heavier brother. That added feel helps with touch and delicate angle volleys. On serve intermediate players and above will enjoy the easy access to fast swing speeds. Some useful power, plus the spin-friendly response, makes the EXO3 Ignite Team a very useful racquet on serve. Players seeking the control of a player's racquet without the heft will find a great match here.


This lighter, more maneuverable version of the Rebel offers excellent access to spin and pace. The Rebel TEAM is a great choice for aggressive hitters looking to maximize racquet head speed as well as players seeking greater maneuverability in a control-oriented racquet. From the baseline, the racquet offers a plush and comfortable feel. The response is very comfortable with no jarring on off-center hits and the sweetspot feels generous for a player's racquet. At net, the mobile response makes this an easy racket to get around. Again, comfort is impressive yet there's ample feel for touch and placement volleys. Both spin and pace come easily on serve. There's plenty of grip from the stringbed and some nice pop to add some kick and penetration to serves.


The 100 square-inch headsize reigns supreme with the current trend of big hitting tennis, and Prince has adjusted its Graphite lineup to fit the modern game. The EXO3 Graphite 100 replaces the Graphite 110, and is the largest EXO3 Graphite. A crisp and clean response greets every shot with the EXO3 Graphite 100. There's plenty of bite from the stringbed for easy access to spin and excellent control and feel. Racket head speed is easy to generate resulting in a high level of spin and pace on groundstrokes and serves. At net the racquet blends stability with a maneuverable feel thanks to some useful heft and a headlight balance.

PRINCE LAUNCH NEW TECHNOLOGY


EXO3 Energy Channel Technology

Enhancing the dynamic effects of the Energy Bridge, is the patented Energy Channel, a sculpted groove within the frame that provides added stability, boosts ball control and increases spin by up to 25%.


EXO3 Energy Bridge Technology

The revolutionary idea behind EXO3 is the patented Energy Bridge, an exo skeletal structure that susupends the string bed from the frame, increasing virtual head size for up to an 83% larger sweet spot. In addition, frame vibration is reduced by up to 50%.

Prince says: Together with the aerodynamic ports, the EXO3 technologies create a racquet that swings fast through the air, offering excellent power, depth and spin without sacrificing comfort.
