Prince Ozone 4 Tennis Racquet The Prince Ozone 4 is an update to the Prince O3 Blue and features one of the most generous sweetspots offered in the Prince racquet line thanks to the use of O-Ports that generates a livelier response across the entire string bed.

This wave pattern complements the angular orientation of the other graphite layers, offering superior power versus traditional graphite contruction techniques.

Customer Review: BEST VALUE RACQUET
I bought a prince o3 “red” and used it for a few months; I liked it. Then I broke a string and had to switch back to my “reserve” racquet, the 600G. It was a night and day difference! The sweet spot was huge, everything felt so much easier! When I saw how cheap this racquet now goes for (back in england in 2006 I paid over 120 STERLING for this racquet) I bought another. The prince is now confined to the closet. And I am now the best tennis player in the world… (one part of this review is untrue).
Customer Review: I would buy it again
This is the best racquet I’ve played with because of its balance of control, power and maneuverability.It’s good for serves, ball placement, drop shots and plenty of spin. This 600G is the best value on the market today.

Head FlexPoint 10 Tennis Racquet The Head FlexPoint 10 Oversize is a power-oriented option in the new-for-2005 Head FlexPoint series. The FlexPoint 10 offers a very powerful feel thanks to its 31mm width beam, yet is surprisingly controlled thanks to the “flexpoints” cut into the frame at 3:00 and 9:00. Also, slightly lighter than the other FlexPoint frames.

Two precisley engineered holes at the 3:00 and 9:00 position work together to bring power in control. The dimple is engineered to create flexibility by reducing beam height by a maximum of 25%. The hole reduces sectional stiffness up to 50%. Basically, the racquet is cupping the ball to hold the ball a split second longer and create a narrower path. A rifle instead of a shotgun. The racquet also produces less shock making the new FlexPoint 10 a winner for beginning to advanced intermediate players.

Customer Review: Great racquet for the intermediate player
Positives:
1. Great racquet with lots of power and feel. Love the low weight and light feel.
2. Negatives:
lack of feel from the midcourt (on the rise approach shots are a good example), need to compensate with a slower/shorter swing.
