   Hi all,
   I have been using prince racquets for 4 years. I was playing with prince exo3 rebel before switching to air stick lite 550. I find the durability better as compared to the old rebels. Green, yellow and black and the yellow one. I tried the new neon one as well but I think it’s too stiff. My game has significantly improved after switching it’s relatively hard to cut the ball as compared to rebel that was 135. But in return I think this racquet has far more control. Highly recommend for wristy players.

   Hi everyone,
   I have just come accross a very similar (seems identical) racket named :
   Prince Pro Airstick 550 Team
   Can anybody tell me if it’s the same racket (maybe named differently in different countries) or a completely different one that happens to share the exact same colouring scheme ?

       Hi Pierre,
       I have actually seen this racket with my own eyes in a shop earlier this week.
       The racket does exist online tough it is rather hard to find.
       The only place I did find it in is this polish website where you can see some photos as well :

   I’m on my third racquet and found that the slightest touch on a wall breaks at about the 13:30 mark on the clock.
   Not happy at all. Great feel, durability is crap and that’s with head tape….. Why Prince, why ?

     Dynergy has too much vibrations, it’s overall a bad racket.

     If u want raw power and durability go for 125, that’s what technifibre are famous for. But it’s heavy so it’s hard on your wrist. Prince, on the other hand, it’s so fun to play with, it’s light, hit the ball glued to the wall, cut the ball in short easily, do all deceptions with your wrist. However one big problem is that the frame might break before factory string break. I have broke 2 myself, im not a wall hitter. That’s when i switched to 125s because no money. If u have your trust fund go for prince. If not technifibre last forever.

   I have changed to this racket recently, having changed from the Head Xenon 135 which I started to find a bit limiting in the front court due t it’s head heaviness. I have found that the Prince Pro Airstick Lite has a very light pick up weight, with a hint of weight balanced towards the head. While the racket is great for drives and offers excellent power and control, it is also light and maneuverable enough for deceptive front court play and accurate drop shots. The factory string is decent enough, but I will no doubt thread in either Ashaway Ultranick 18 (Blue) or Tecnifibre 305 17 when it’s done it’s dash. All in all this is a great racket which offers all the power and control my old Xenon 135s, but with significantly more maneuverability and is much kinder on the wrist, especially when flicking out backhand shots from the back corner. Highly recommended !!
