Prince Badminton Rackets

[laivc]

Out of curiousity yesterday, went to search for Prince badminton rackets in the web. Quite nice to see Prince do have some interesting rackets for badminton, they have the 03 Speedport series, O3 series, Triple Threat series, Ti series, Graphite series and a weird looking Commercial series. Anyone here owned any of these series here? Are they good as compared to Yonex's model? Thanks.

I have the O3 series. Very light and nice feeling racquet.

i just bought a 03 speedport tour racket to a friend who gave a nice discount for it and im already excited to try it at the court once i bought a new string for it!!!!tho,the handle is much bigger(G3) than my old racket NXG..but i think i can manage to hold it while playing..will post again here for my review..after the game!

After stringing a O3 speedsport for a friend I got interested and bought one 2 weeks ago. Since I tried it, I think I have quite adopted it.:D Nice feel, well balanced (for me) and on top the price is 1/2 way between an Apax and a Yonex. Affordable.

I've heard some good things about these rackets. One of my fellow player has the old 'tear shapped' TT Warrior and swears by it. I've tried the TT Warrior and it seems ok.

The Prince O3 SpeedPort Tour seems like an interesting racket via spec. Very Stiff (9), BP 287mm & Weight 86.5g (unstrung).

I now have both the O3 Tour and the O3 Black (via Santa Claus;)). Both are basically the same but one balances nearer the head than the other. Making it more head heavy. Both have a good feel. My usual racket was a NS9900. It broke.:crying:

I assume by spec that the 03 Tour (287mm) is slighly head heavier than the O3 Black (285mm). And the 03 Tour is also stiffer. How does the stiffness/performance compare to other Yonex rackets?

This is where I fail. I am not professional player enough to distinguish between the subtle difference in stiffness.:) I'm working on it though but cannot opine for sure on this issue.

Thanks for your honesty, a lot of people would have just guessed :D
