Racket Info

This is the 2014 version of the Prince EXO3 Pro Tour.

James Willstrop appears in the ads for this racket, but he isn’t playing with it at the moment; he’s using the Prince Pro Beast 750.

Here’s what James would look like using this racket, if he played in a suit:

    Many thanks. Thinking of finally moving on from the original 03 Tour (I know, I know!), but don’t want to splash the cash on the very latest range. I did try the “Ramy” a couple of years ago but didn’t like it much. Any further comments would be appreciated – regarding the comparison between the 03 Tour and the Pro Tour 850 rather than how far behind the times I am, please!

      I’ve been using Pro Tour 850 for six months. My tips:
      – it is a 145g head-heavy rocket, so it is harder to add a final touch from your wrist, but the rocket somehow helps you to play more technically than just using arm’s power
      – i suggest lighter tension when stringing – it gives this rocket an extra punch (love it)
      – it is not a durable rocket
      – once precisely hit, the ball gets a lot of power, a lot

        Thanks Mac. It seems I’ve been using them longer than you, then, as I just went ahead and bought one. Liked it so much I bought another before Amazon Japan sold out! The weight is the same as the original Peter Nicol 03, but the racquet has a better balance for me. The original strings fe,t horrible after years of using Technifibre 305 1.1mm, but I changed them almost immediately and as I said above, love it 🙂
