Here’s my detailed video review. Short version: I thought this was a nice, well-balanced racket with great styling and a great name. DUNH NUNH.

Excellent racket, very light weight and easy on the wrist.
The original prince string is terrible though, and with the string pattern causing easy breakage of strings, I highly recommend getting thicker strings (>1.25mm) or lower density (22-24lb)

I had the 2014 version. Like Wouter mentioned i had the same issue w the changing strings far too quickly. Love the feel of the racket(balanced n pack a punch) but at the rate I am changing strings, I can get a few new rackets in a year. Decided to sell it off instead.

I still have the 2014 version of the pro shark, which is still in fine condition. However, I’ve chosen to not to use it anymore as my primary racket due to the fact that I went through a set of strings every 2/3 weeks. It’s because of the powerbite low stringing density that the strings take quite a hit every time you hit the ball. If you are a person that goes through his/her strings quite often (which I am), the pro shark might not be the racket for you. Other than that, I really loved it. Suits a very attacking fun style of play.

I had the same issue with the pro beast 750 textreme. I was recommended that you can slightly counter this by stringing thicker strings (1.25/1.3mm ones). I was using the ashaway supernick XL (1.25mm) and it was going strong for 3 weeks before… my racket broke.

Looks like a nice racquet. Im cautious about getting one though because of my previous experiences with the exo3 rebel is this
