Product Notes

This racket came out for sale in late 2015. It’s most likely a custom version of the Prince Airstick 130, which Ramy had been using previously.

Apparently Textreme is some sort of carbon fiber technology.

Reviews

Here’s a review from Paul at PDH Sports:

Spotted

A few months ago, Ramy Ashour posted this teaser photo on social media. Thanks to Michel for the heads up!

Then Ramy was spotted using his new racket at the 2015 NetSuite Open in San Francisco. Thanks to Eamon for the tip!

    Not sure Ramy is using this at the team worlds? it’s a white racket but has the Prince logo on the strings?

      Could you elaborate? Are you taking about the 650 Ramy version or the 600?

        Hi Lloyd,

        Quoted as below:

        Prince is proud to celebrate three years with our five times World Champion Squash player, Ramy Ashour

        Five Time? Included two time junior champions? LOL

    Seems like Ramy isn’t listing Prince as one of his sponsors anymore on his social media posts. He also dropped the Prince stencil on his strings.

      I think some big brand (e.g tecnifibre etc.) should swoop in now and get Ramy onboard – Prince obviously don’t really care about squash anymore and they’ve lost all their big players (Serme, Willstrop, David and it now appears Ramy too).

      Whatever racket Ramy uses will sell plenty.

    In my opininion, in comparison to the Airstick Lite, which i like very much to play with, the pro warrior is too headheavy (for me). Very difficult to control. But may be Ramy plays better than i 🙂 Smiley.

      I have to correct my statement. I’ve now here the Warrior and the 550 lite, both the Textreme version. Balance of the warrior is a little more headlight than the 550 Pro Airstick lite; 35,3 cm/36 cm. Weight: Warrior 158 g strung/Airstick 156 g strung, both stock grip plus an overgrip = same weight.
      Note: I also played the Airstick lte 550 2014 without the Textreme material. The newer one with Textreme is stiffer than the older one.

    Thank you Pierre saw that also but looking that up Prince doesn’t have a string with that name so looked at all the ones that are black and narrowed it to the XX which there are two different ones in 17g and the Rebel…will have to pull out a magnifying glass tonight and see if I can make it out. Like the stick!
    Thank you

    I see there are two different Lightning XX 17 g string one with the solid core the other multi. Anyone know which is stock in the Ramy 600 Warrior? Or is it Rebel? I have one just can’t seem to make out what it says on the string….Thank you

        On the bay some xx show with a solid core then wrapped other xx is a multi thoughout. Feels like it is strung at 25-26 lbs. Enjoying it so far but from the reviews out there people are saying they break easily. Called one place in NY to purchase another one and they said Prince pulled them because of breakage and they have not replaced them with new ones yet. Time will tell…Enjoy the game!

          I can confirm the easy breakage of these rackets.

          There are 2 players at my club who used to play with these. Together, they burned up 6 of them in one year. Breakages were mainly in the top of the frame, between 11 and 1 o’clock.

    Hey, do you think there are any other good rackets (other than prince) that have similar grip width? I’ve tried the tecnifibre 125 but the grip was too large which I didn’t like. Thanks!

      Some Karakal grips are similar…if you like the Prince grip stick with them the grip is half the battle in finding one you like…

    Hey guys, my coach uses this racket, and I tried out this racket once and I liked the size (width) of the handle/grip a lot. My question is that are all Prince handles the same size or do they differ? Thanks!

      I have four Prince rackets including the Ramy one and they feel pretty similar so I’d say so

    Hi everyone!
    I need many people precious advice regarding to buy new racket.
    i am the person who prefers more power and highly maneuverable racket.
    i am currently using prince pro beast power bite 750 (2014) and really like it but considering to buy new technology as i dont like the jerk factor in this racket.
    so i have three options prince pro warrior 600(ramy) , prince textreme pro beast 750(2016) and technifiber carboflex 125 s. i have heard prince rackets are to much fragile but i dont think so that is the case with prince pb 750 (2014) however people say that pro warrior 600 is to much fragile and with a small hit with wall it breaks.I also dont like more width of handle in carboflex as it makes racket less manoeuvrable.
    Based on experience which one will be lightest as i remember dunlop apex 110 was labelled as 110grams but it felt more heavier than pro beast that is rated as 128g. so among the three options which one be lightest, most powerful and maneuverable.Lastly please compare the string pattern between both prince rackets.which one will be best for me 🙂
    Thankyou all!

      I have old 750, and the new Textreme 750 now. Also I have the new Textreme Airstick 550. I think you would enjoy the Textreme 750, as it feels quite a bit different than the Beast 750. It is balanced differently, a tad more head-heavy and you don’t get that jerk factor. As you game improves I find the 750 Beast easier to use; there are many advantages to this racket for volleys and lobs but you do have to stay focused on your rails. The (2) Textreme rackets a I have now seem to vibrate much much more than the Beast 750. I think I have Ashaway blue? on it and there is very little vibration. I played with Textreme 750 the other night and felt really good doing some long-game practice, but also did not notice anything adverse doing wrist flicks

    I bought a prince racquet a few month ago & it is broken what can I do????

      Hi Rania
      Did you break it at the head/top of the racket and/or by hitting it against the wall? Most brands will not replace the racket if it is broken between 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock; anywhere else is subject to their discretion to replace or not. Best is to take it back to the shop that sold you the racket and ask them.

      Prince rackets have been known to break easily tho….. 🙁

      Hope this helps. Enjoy the game!

    I’ve spotted this racquet with a different cosmetic which is in Red and Black colour that does not have Ramy’s signature.

    I just received these rackets from London, and they are awesome.
    The balance seems more even, but feels heavier than Tecnifibre Carboflex 125s.
    There is more control than what I use currently which is the 2012 Prince EXO3 rebel.
    Overall, to be honest, the Tecnifibre Carboflex 125s has a more generous sweet spot. Nevertheless it’s a well balanced prince and I am enjoying it.
    The textreme material feels more solid than Carboflex 125s.

    Hi All,
    Just a quick heads up that we have started stocking the new Ramy racquet (Prince Pro Warrior 600) Textreme and it is available now in the USA & Canada.

    http://www.squashunlimited.com/products/prince-textreme-pro-warrior-600-ramy

    After a brief hit yesterday initial impressions were:
    – very solid plow through for a light weight rkt (145 grams strung)
    – nice vibration dampening but still had feel on the ball.

    We will be receiving the new Beast 750 and Airstick Lite 550 in TeXtreme material shortly.

    Full reviews will be posted online in the next few weeks.

    Cheers,
    Larry Howes

    This is my current racket choice. It is just great! Power, control it has everything! although, when i was hitting it had a hollow feel but i like that. However, to my surprise the racket, it broke after 2 weeks. I did not bang it on the wall on purpose (i.e. in anger) just the occasional hit on the wall or floor from a drive or recovery. When it broke i ‘dissected’ it and it was actually hollow! even at the corners where ‘textreme’ is added. So its a great racket but not durable at all unfortunately….

      Thank you for you review notes. Good to know that the racket is fragile before forking out such big bucks for it (at least in Canada it is considerably more expensive that any other racket). Please note though that rackets are always hollow…..this is not weird.

    Looks like the Pro Beast 750 he and James Willstrop have been using though with a few more holes added for more crosses and mains. Probably to tighten up the pattern for better control so they can drop the tension some to squeeze out more speed/power? Haven’t grabbed one yet still playing and experimenting with the Pro Beast 750! Enjoy the game!

    what is the racket called? is it on sale anywhere yet? i’d imagine Ramy’s racket will sell a lot!

    personally a friend of mine scoured the internet to find adidas court stabil 10.1s when he heard Ramy wears only those!

    It did not look like Ramy’s new racquet in his hand tonight at Worlds. Looked like a normal paint job.

    The more I look at the pic, the headguard is also difference. I can’t quite tell whether it’s merely reduced in size or possilbly removeable ala Technifibre. Adds another nuance to the weight/balance equation.

    Interesting stringing pattern. looks like 16 cross by 16 mains. Which is like leaving off the last cross on a standard Air Stick/Drive/Sovereign. It’ll make a little more pop than the normal pattern.
