US OPEN TENNIS

The right racquet will allow you to play with more confidence and consistency. There are a few important elements to consider when choosing the optimum tennis racquet for your needs including the size and shape of the head, weight, balance, length, thickness and the material that the frame is made of. If you want increased power, spin and surface area of the sweet spot, you should choose a larger head size of 107 square inches or more. 100-105 square inches will give you even control and a head of less than 98 square inches will allow you to swing freely and aggressively. Beginners and recreational players may choose a longer racquet than the standard 28 inches providing more reach power and a greater capacity for spin. For a little more control, minimise the length. The heavier the racquet, the more power potential and the easier it is to return an opponent’s powerful shot. These heavier racquets however are more taxing on the player so many beginners choose a lighter racquet to cons …

Prince O3 Speedport BLACK Tennis Racquet The Prince O3 Speedport Black features the first true ‘tweener offering in the Prince O3 Speedport racquet line. The Prince O3 Speedport Black features an aerodynamic refinement to the largest sweetspot offered in the Prince racquet line thanks to the use of new square-shaped O-Ports that generates a livelier response across the entire string bed.

Another innovation in the Speedport Black is the use of the Speedport Tuning System (S.T.S.) This system allows customization of the port inserts in the frame at 3, 9, and 12 o’clock positions. The string PORT insert provides a softer, more-damped feel, while the string HOLE insert resembles a traditional grommet that provides more feel and feedback from the stringbed. Each Speedport Black comes with both sets of inserts (the String PORT insert is installed from the factory.)

With a Prince Power Level of 975 and a 100 square inch head, the O3 Speedport Black offers a more-controlled option in the new O3 Speedport line to the very popular O3 White. Overall, the O3 Speedport Black is sure to be one of the best all-around racquets for an intermediate to advanced player with a moderate to fast swing speed.

Customer Review: Wow!
I just tried the Prince 03 Speedport Black and the Speedport Tour with the Speedport inserts. Both racquets are about the same weight, balance, and head size as my Prince More Precision. All three racquets are very maneuverable. There the similarity ends, however.
