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.
Updates:
- Ramy since switched to the Prince Pro Sovereign 650
- The Prince Pro Warrior 600 (non-Ramy signature) was spotted in 2017
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!

I saw this Pro Warrior 600 for sale at Decathlon for £44.99 https://www.decathlon.co.uk/pro-warrior-600-id_8393268.html
Sounds too good to be true.
Is it the same one as the one being reviewed here? It doesn’t have Ramy Ashour’s name on it but seems to have the same specs.
Could some adivce please?

Hi Leon, I’ve posted some more info about this racket here: https://www.squashsource.com/prince-pro-warrior-600/

Not sure Ramy is using this at the team worlds? it’s a white racket but has the Prince logo on the strings?
Lloyd says
()
I was gonna say the same, unless its just light reflection??
Lloyd says
()
If it looks like any current racket, it will be the pro sovereign which is quite a change!! Clearly its a racket that isn’t out yet??
Ivan says
()
seems a new white one
Lloyd says
()
I sent a tweet in the hope he’ll give us something
Pierre says
()
It does seem like the Pro Sovereign
Lawrence says
()
I’m gonna go out on a limb to say that it is his beloved Airstick 130 reincarnated!
Harish Khanna says

Balance of new prince racket range is not good.
Errol says
()
Could you elaborate? Are you taking about the 650 Ramy version or the 600?
Harish Khanna says
()
No not the 600 or 650 but higher ones in power. they are not manoeuvrable
Ivan says
()
Bad news for fans？
Ramy signed 3 more years with Prince.

He seems to be the last Prince player standing…
Lloyd says

How do you know its 3? Looks to be only 1 so far
Ivan says

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
Lloyd says
()
Sorry, i was questioning how you know its 3 more years
hassan says

alternate of warrior 600 … which racket u recommend…
Rod says
()
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.
b says
()
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.
Errol says
()
It’s a bit weird around Ramy anyways. He is using the old Race (red) shoes instead of the new Salming Ramy branded one (blue) at the China open. Also he was still using the Prince 600 racket instead of the new Ramy branded 650. However, that warrior 650 was supposed to come out in August, but seems to have been delayed until October/November. Now I’m wondering if that racket will come out at all. I have a frame crack in my 600 due to somebody hitting my racket and was waiting for that 650 to come out. But it seems I have to start looking for an alternative. Which is frustrating, because that racket plays really smooth.
Pierre says
()
Nobody seems to know what’s up with Prince these days / whether they’ll come back from the dead

There was on eBay sales Prince Extreme Pro Warrior 650:

az says

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.
az says
()
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
JB says
()
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
Pierre says
()
Hi JB, where are you seeing the two versions of Lightning XX 17g? I can only find this one on the Pricne website: http://shop.princesquash.com/Lightning-XX-17-Black.aspx
I should probably do a page on here for Prince strings. Thanks
JB says
()
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!
Tjeerd says
()
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.
Jason says
()
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!
JB says
()
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…
Jason says
()
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!
Isak says
()
I have four Prince rackets including the Ramy one and they feel pretty similar so I’d say so
zari says
()
Do someone have any any idea about the string ramy ashoure use in his prince prowarrior 600 thankyou!
b says
()
think it’s the green tecnifibre
zari says

ok thanks

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
Rania Khalifa says

I bought a prince racquet a few month ago & it is broken what can I do????
Lawrence says
()
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.
nick says

and you don’t mean this one, right?

David Wong says

No. It’s written Pro Warrior on the racquet. I have a picture of it, not sure how to upload tho.

upload to imgur and post link. what country did you see this in?

Just found another store which also sells this. Bought it from [here](http://www.squash-expert.co.uk/prince-pro-warrior-600-ramy-ashour-signature/235036) yesterday
Bernard says

was Ramy playing with this at the British Open? is he still using the green Tecnifibre strings?
Rodney Foster says
()
i believe so.
i know for sue he was using this racket back in november in seattle.
unsure which strings though..
Pierre Bastien says
()
I believe yes to both
YSK says

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

awesome!!!!
thank you larry!
Jonathan Catuccio says

Larry,
Have you tested out the new Textreme Beast 750 yet, for those of interested and using the older Beast.
Is the balance similar?
thanks,
Jon

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….
nick says
()
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.
Alex says
()
Please review it. There are no reviews anywhere on YouTube
Rod Foster says
()
someone buy one for me and i’ll review it for you.
JB says
()
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!
Alex says
()
It’s on sale now at Pdh sports. It’s called the prince textreme pro warrior 600
Pierre Bastien says
()
Thanks Alex – updated the post
Bernard says
()
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!
lee says

Ramy rackets name is a warrior..
i watch a worldopen day2 pics
Brent says
()
It did not look like Ramy’s new racquet in his hand tonight at Worlds. Looked like a normal paint job.
JR says
()
I just emailed Prince and heres what they said:
“That racquet is due to be released Jan 2016.”
Pierre Bastien says
()
Thanks JR, will keep an eye out for that!
Kark says
()
Its can buy in shop in future? or its only for Ramy ?
Pierre Bastien says
()
I am not sure! Hopefully it will be available to buy.
Brent says
()
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.
Brent says
()
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.
Pierre Bastien says
()
Good catch Brent, I added that to the post.
M says
()
Hmm I beg to differ… it looks mighty like a 16 mains x 17 cross stringing pattern to me… same as the airstick 130
Pierre Bastien says
()
Now I recounted and got 17 this time! This image makes it clear I think.
JB says
()
What is the stock string in it? Bought one like it have to see if it holds up. Thank you

According to the Prince Website it comes with Prince 17-gauge black http://shop.princesquash.com/product.aspx?zpid=15471
