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.
