Ah, the Prince O3 Speedport Black. According to Prince, wind tunnel testing proves O3 Speedport racquets move through the air up to 24% faster than traditional racquets. I, for one, would really like to see a squash racket be tested in a wind tunnel. But for now, I’ll just have to imagine it. WHOOOOOOOSH.
Note: It looks like a new version of this racket will be coming out in the next few months. It’s called the Prince Pro Black Speedport 850.

This racket is 135 grams (medium) with a 37.5cm balance point (head-heavy).

There’s also a Prince O3 Speedport Black “Special Edition”. From what I can tell it has the same specs, just a different paint job with some silver on the shaft. Thanks to Marlin for the tip.

Perhaps worth noting that there’s a special edition of this racket? Same specs, different cosmetics.

Hi Marlin, I believe the one I posted is the special edition. I’m not 100% sure though. I couldn’t find the “non-special” edition. I wonder if the O3 Black is the non-special edition. Not sure.
