Guide Review - Prince AirLaunch MidPlus 95 Tennis Racquet
Heavier racquets are a diminishing breed, and the AirLaunch is much lighter than advanced players' racquets of a few years ago. It feels quite solid and stable for only 10.3 ounces, and with an even balance, it's highly maneuverable. The fairly open stringing pattern lends itself to good pop on serves, but the string bed still offers excellent control. The frame has a firm flex, and the overall feel of the racquet is a pleasing mix of crispness and softness. Serve-and-volley players who want a light racquet will find the AirLaunch worth a demo.
