I used this racquet this season for Tennis. I love it. I feel that this raccquet is the perfect weight. You dont loose power, but your arm doesnt get tired.
I used the head Ti-S6 before this one, It was too light and vibrated alot. The prince is perfect. I suggest this racquet to anybody.

I love this tennis racquet. It has a perfect blend of power and control. It is great for players that are able to generate their own power, but are looking for a little more control. The balance is a little head heavy, but its not so heavy that it tires out your arm. The oversized head (110 sq. in) gives this racquet more of a sweet spot area. This is a great racquet for groundstrokes and volleys. I had a little more trouble controlling my serves. Overall, I would recommend this racquet for any player at the recreational level or competative level.

I am a beginner of tennis sports. With this light-weight racquet, I made some progress during this summer. I like it. One of my friends who is a very good tennis player has used this racquet for three years and he also likes it.

This is one of the best racquets I have ever purchased. Ever since I used this racquet I have been playing better. The racquets smooth motion makes it suitable for people of all skill levels.

I bought this one a month ago. I just started to play tennis for 2 months, about 8 times. I had a cheap racket under $40. The TripleThreat really made quite a difference to me. It's a oversize one, has lots of power, much easier to hit at the sweet spot. The control could be a tricky, but still way better than my previous cheap one. I saw reviews complains that it gives elbow problem, not to me. I truly believe that this should be an ideal racket for all beginners. I am still learning, so couldn't comment on more advanced features.

Let me just say that I adore this racquet. its the best one Ive ever had, the control is perfect for me and its improved my game so much.
highly highly recomended

Everything about the racket seems great except for the stringing. I bought two rackets to play with a friend and you don't get much pop off of the racket unless the ball is hit dead center. I am sure a more experienced player would tell me that I need to upgrade the strings, but I expected the performance of the strings to be a little better. All in all, a good buy for recreational tennis.

I coach high school tennis and have played for 20+ years. I use this racquet, actually 5 of them. It's comfortably light, solid, maneuverable with excellent feedback for touch and control. The headsize is generous at 110 inches for a bigger sweetspot.

The blurb for this racquet says that it provides power. I happily disagree. A 950 power rating is low-medium. This means that you can take big swings at the ball and it will still drop in, especially when strung with a polyester-hybrid string setup.

I tell anyone who will listen: "If you pay more than $100 for a racquet, you wasting money on hype and this year's color. Save you money for overgrips and quality strings." You can't buy a tennis game. You have to play. This racquet gets the job done.

Note: As with any racquet, buy a good vibration dampener, suggestion "Gamma Shockbuster."

Note: If you are an older beginner 30+, older player (60+) or average female club player with a slow swing speed, consider the "Prince O3 Silver OS" with a 118 inch head. Many of the same attributes but more powerful and easier on the arm (over dampened.) I dislike most O3's, but this is a great racquet.

I wanted to buy a lighter tennis racquet that was more evenly weighted than the other Prince racquets I have tried or own. At 9.9oz strung this is light. I almost didn't purchase this because it was so inexpensive compared to the others I was considering. Glad I got it. This plays almost exactly like the more expensive Prince EXO3 White Lite 100, though the head is slightly more weighted.

I have been playing tennis for about 2 years, I average about 25-30 sets a week. I've owned 2 Wilson rackets that I bought from Walmart for under $30 each. I have developed a pretty wicked serve and became consistent with my volleys, and I thought it was time for a little upgrade. I purchased this racket "used" on another website and just received it yesterday, and I took it out for a spin.

Appearance: You can see the color scheme in the pictures that are in the listing...what you can't see is that this isn't your glossy-paint Walmart Racket, it is a soft matte finish, which I love.

Grip: This racket has a very sticky rubberized grip. Maintain the slightest pressure in your grip and I can't see this racket ever leaving your hand or slipping into misalignment during your swing.

Strings: Very tight.

Weight: Lighter than any racket I've ever used, but it still feels like a very solid racket.

Performance: The strangest thing I've encountered with this racket is that there isn't the least bit of vibration when I hit the ball. This is a very good thing, but boy is it strange when you've been using a low-grade Walmart racket for a couple years. It threw me off, but once I adjusted I was able to fully appreciate the zero vibration.

This is the first Prince Racket I've owned, and because of this model I will probably purchase Prince rackets from here-on-out.
