Guide Review
An arm-safe racquet for advanced players.
The Triple Threat racquets from Prince are designed for exceptional stability on off-center shots. This enhances control and reduces stress on your arm. With a balance point 5/8" head-light on a 27" frame and a moderate weight of 11.3 ounces (strung), one would expect the high ratings Tennis Warehouse gives for maneuverability, but both Tennis Magazine and Racquet Research disagree. Reviews agree on good spin potential, as expected from 16 mains and 20 crosses on a 97-square-inch head. They also agree that the racquet offers excellent control and moderate power, not surprising from a medium-stiff, straight beam 23 mm wide.
