Yeah, they just look really good, and unlike some companies there seems to be some innovation going on rather than just playing around with materials.
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 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. Nice feel, well balanced (for me) and on top the price is 1/2 way between an Apax and a Yonex. Affordable.
what ? Your badminton center is open on the 26th ? Mine opens for the 28,29,30th and then close again to the 3rd Your sooo lucky
Yeah, thanx for the PM. I guess we are lucky. Merry X-mas and happy new year to U and all who read this. I'm looking fwd to comparing the "tour" and the "black".
Tried both yesterday. 1st both look great. The one that suits me best is the O3 SPTour. I usually play with a NS 9900 (or NS8000). My friends who fav AT 800 like the O3 SP Black better. More playing will show more of the rackets.
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.
Prince O3 Speedport Hybrid Blue Prince O3 Speedport Hybrid Blue Hey, I've been searching the net for quite some time and I've also been searching this forum and I can hardly find anything mentioned about this Racket. I've just ordered one, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience of it or if anyone had heard any comments about it? Once I've used it, I'll post my thoughts on it, but I'm not a badminton expert so it won't be a very technical review David
