The technologically advanced Prince O3 Blue oversized tennis racquet packs plenty of power, while offering a dampened and comfortable feel at impact. It's best suited for level 2.5 to level 4.0 players looking for power and comfort. Falling right in between the very powerful, lightweight O3 Silver and the smaller, heavier O3 Red, the O3 Blue offers an excellent combination of a generous sweet spot and lightweight maneuverability. By replacing traditional pin-sized string holes with giant O-Ports--which act as wind channels--a super aerodynamic frame has been created with a more responsive stringbed. This increases the sweet spot, creating a "Sweet Zone," which means you hit your best shots more often. The O-Ports also reduce aerodynamic drag, helping to produce a faster swing speed and enabling players to reach more balls and win more points. The O3 is the first racquet technology to combine a larger sweet spot with a faster, more explosive swing speed without enlarging the racquet head, increasing its length, or adding weight.
