Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Prince's best-selling Shark tennis racquet is now improved with O3 technology for a higher sweet spot and greater stability. The Prince O3 Hybrid Shark has the same frame geometry and cross section as the best selling Shark racquet with the Cushion Grip System for more comfort and less shock. O-Ports have been added at the 6 and 12 o'clock points, expanding the sweet spot and increasing stability for improved performance. It's a great choice for baseline and serve & volley players at the 3.0 to 4.5 level.

By replacing traditional pin-sized string holes with giant O-Ports, a super aerodynamic frame has been created with a more responsive stringbed. This increases the sweet spot, creating a "Sweet Zone," which means you hit your best shots more often. The O-Ports also reduce aerodynamic drag, helping to produce a faster swing speed and enabling players to reach more balls and win more points. The O3 is the first racquet technology to combine a larger sweet spot with a faster, more explosive swing speed without enlarging the racquet head, increasing its length, or adding weight.

Specifications:

• Power level: 1025 (moderate to fast)
• Length: 27.5 inches
• Headsize: 110 square inches (oversized)
• Cross Section: 24mm-28mm-24mm
• Weight: 9.8 ounces (277g), unstrung
• Balance: 13.2 inches (33.5cm)

My order came with string. Racket is light and powerful. It's quite easy to adept. It is not worth the listed price, but is a great buy once it's on sale.
