What is Prince tennis known for?

Prince has spent five decades pushing tennis racquet design forward. Its modern lineup is anchored by the O3 Speedport grommet system that opens up the sweet spot, Textreme x Twaron composite layups for vibration absorption, and signature lines including the Phantom (control), Tour (players' all-court), Beast (power-spin), and Ripcord (forgiveness). Prince frames remain a popular choice for players who want a distinctive feel that sits outside the Wilson/Babolat/Head mainstream.

Prince tennis racquet line-up

The current Prince range covers four core families. The Phantom 100X / 93P / 100P series is for advanced players who want maximum control with classic feel — pure players' frames in the 305–315g range. The Prince Tour series (100P, 95, 100) is the all-court versatile option for intermediate-to-advanced competitors. The Prince Beast series delivers power and heavy spin for aggressive baseliners. The Ripcord series caters to club players seeking comfort and a forgiving sweet spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Prince tennis racquet range designed for?
Prince's modern range covers every player level. The Phantom and Tour series suit advanced and competitive players who want a control-oriented players' frame. The Beast series suits aggressive intermediate-to-advanced players seeking power and spin. The Ripcord caters to recreational and improving club players who want comfort and forgiveness. There is a Prince frame for almost every playing style.

What is Prince O3 Speedport technology?
O3 Speedport is Prince's patented oversized grommet system that replaces conventional small grommets with larger oval ports. The result is a longer effective string length toward the racquet's edges, an enlarged sweet spot, and a slightly more forgiving response on off-centre hits. It's most prominent on the modern Phantom and Tour models.

How does the Prince Phantom compare to the Wilson Pro Staff or Head Prestige?
All three are classic players' frames built for advanced competitors who prioritise feel and control. The Wilson Pro Staff typically feels the most direct and traditional; the Head Prestige is slightly more flexible with the softest impact feel; the Prince Phantom sits in between with the added benefit of the O3 Speedport grommet system. Personal preference and feel almost always decide the choice.

Is Prince a good brand for intermediate players?
Yes — particularly the lighter Tour and Beast variants in the 285–300g range. The Beast 98 and Tour 100P offer excellent value and a feel that sits outside the mainstream brands, which can be refreshing for players who've worked through Wilson, Babolat, and Head and want to try something different.
