Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The technologically advanced Prince O3 White midplus tennis racquet generates pace and depth on groundstrokes and is a great choice for aggressive players who like to charge the net. It's best suited for level 3.5 to level 5.5 all-court and doubles players looking for some extra pop and mobility without sacrificing control and placement. The O3 White is also Maria Sharapova's racquet of choice.

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.

• Power level: 1000 (moderate to full strokes)

• Cross Section: 23mm-25mm-22mm
• Weight: 10.6 ounces (300g), unstrung

5.0 out of 5 stars I've only played with 5 frames in my life, but this takes the cake., August 8, 2010

This review is from: Prince O3 White Midplus Tennis Racquet (Sports)

I'm a 14 yr old junior player, and from 2007 to Summer 2009, I used a moderately old racket, the Prince Yellow Shark (released around 2006). For my birthday, I decided that an updated frame was long overdue, so I did some research. I read positive reviews about this racket, and the Prince racket selector (found on the prince tennis website) told me that it was a good racket for me. Without playtesting (a little risky now that I think of it), I got it, got it strung with prince synthetic nylon at 57, and hit the court. I was AMAZED at how hard I could hit the ball and at the same time, have great accuracy. I remember hitting groundstrokes and knowing that most were going to be winners.

This is an amazing racket, BUT a few tennis gear websites have removed it from sale, since it is pretty much outdated (a couple years old). So, for those of you that want an updated version of this racket, turn to the EXO3 Prince Black 100. It has the same specs and prefered playing type; Don't buy the EXO3 White just because it says "White" as well. It's nothing like this racket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent racquet for me (NTRP 4), almost excellent, August 23, 2009

I love the O3 white. It's a great racquet, although I wish it had a little less power.
