Prince O3 Tour Prestrung Squash Racquet with Case
The success of Prince's O3 tennis racquets, which were engineered with unique O-ports to provide greater string freedom, led the company to introduce a matching line of squash racquets. The O3 Tour squash model features the same distinctive O-ports, which replace traditional pin-sized string holes to create a super aerodynamic frame with a more responsive stringbed. This in turn generates an extra-large Sweet Zone that's 54 percent bigger than a conventional racquet's sweet spot. As a result, you'll blast more powerful serves and hit more consistent shots, while also returning wide shots with authority. The O-ports also reduce aerodynamic drag to produce a faster swing speed, so players can reach more balls and win more points.In addition, the O3 Tour racquet is equipped with a Triple Threat Tungsten frame, which places titanium, copper, carbon, and tungsten in three critical racquet locations: 10 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and at the bottom of the handle. This creates a phenomenally stable racquet design, which merges with the huge Sweet Zone to produce more power and precision than any Prince squash racquet before it. The concave Power Scoop shaft, meanwhile, absorbs more wall and floor impacts, providing greater comfort and durability while producing maximum striking power. Other details include an Air+ handle, which contains four air-filled quadrants that move independently for more shock absorption and grip ventilation; a red-cross dampener in the handle that quiets frame vibrations and produces more control; and a high-performance Wall Glider bumper, which offers a low-friction polymer to protect the frame.SpecificationsHead size: 73 square inches/470 square cmCross section: 17-18-22.5String pattern: 16 x 16Weight: 145 grams, unstrungBalance: 35.5 cmString: Prince Syn Gut 17About PrinceFrom its origin as a manufacturer of tennis ball machines, Prince has proved itself to be an industry leader in the innovation and manufacturing of performance racquet sports products.
