This is part of Prince’s 2017/18 “Team” range of rackets for intermediate / beginner players. Here’s a roundup I did of 4 Team models and 4 of the higher-end “Pro” models:

This racket appears to be the successor to the Prince Airstick 140.

    Bought a new one (the 2016 satin black/blue) with TF x-one Biphase restringing. It weighed 161 grams all in without the cardboard of course. It’s a bit head heavy so it feels slightly heavier than it really is. Good power and good touch albeit maybe a bit numb with the Biphase strings at approximately 26-27 lbs. I would next time go for 24 lbs just to get a little more power and feedback. Very stable, feels solidly built and has a surprisingly big sweet spot with these strings at this tension. B says in his comment that it was a lot less stiff than the Pro Beast, I on the other hand thought that it felt quite stiff.

    Hello, did anyone try this racket before ? I have been using Prince AirDrive 140 (not Airstick 140) for about 3 years and loved it, but unfortunately I’m down to my last one. Any comments about the racket would be appreciated! Thanks

      Hi,

      Not sure if you’re still interested.
      I bought 2 airstick 500’s (got a good deal). They were the right balance & weight for me and also a lot less stiff than my Pro Beast.
      Too bad both of them broke within 30 minutes of each other during a club tournament. Really sad, but I won’t be buying any more of those any time soon. Hoping I will find something to replace them with any time soon! I am definitely open to suggestions!
      Cheers
