    Just bought and played with the Hyper Pro. Solid but light racket. Lot’s of power and forgiving. ball just flies off factory strings. It’s weirdly true what they say about Prince rackets feeling different. First time user after years of Head. Not bulky but not quite as nimble as slimbody frames.

      Have been using it for a few week now and really like it, haven’t even changed the factory strings and it feels good. It’s a little too soon to report back on the fragility of it. The frame is stiff, no vibration (which I prefer) and has a large sweet spot. I will report back if it cracks.

        Thanks Dean! Before deciding on the Hyper Pro, did you get a feel for the Vortex Pro and Venom Pro? What made you decide on the Hyper Pro?

          Hi, I tried the Vortex but decided on the Hyper as it felt like it had less flex and more power. I’m also happy to report that I’ve been playing about 4 times a week since October with the same two rackets and neither have any cracks!

            Hi Dean, how has the hyper been holding up?

            Hi. I am looking to replace my Pro Warrior X (absolutely love it but it’s way too brittle) and I am considering giving a try at the Hyper Pro. I tried the vortex some time ago but I felt it as very head heavier and bulky… It also hit the 160gr in my scale and my Pro Warrior sits at around 145/50… So, how does the Hyper Pro compare to the Vortex? Is it as heavy? What about the balance? Does it feel bulky? Many many thanks in advance
