Product Reviews: �€�I have hit with this racquet for almost 20 years and cannot imagine using anything else. I still have two frames in my closet that are brand new. I have tried several of the newer racquets over the years, mostly for comparison purposes, and for me none of them even come close. This racquet is heavy by today's standards but its control is without comparison. Just because it's new does not necessarily mean it's better. Prince came up with a thoroughbred with this racquet and it still a winner!�€� - Scott, Pensacola, FL
