After a very successful launch of the new Prince Textreme racket collection last spring, rumor has it that Prince might stop making rackets with the famous holes. Read more… [ 
The Prince Textreme racket collection , which was launched in spring 2015 with 4 models (see overview below), was very well received, both in America and in Europe. In Germany, the Textreme Tour 100T became the test winner in the all-round category, a category with stiff competition from the new Babolat Pure Drive, the Head Graphene XT Instinct MP and many other all-round top models from the big brands. In the US, the 'flagship' model, the Prince Textreme Tour 95 scored a top position in the 'Tour' category, where the Textreme Warrior 107 again received rave reviews for its fine playing characteristics for players with a somewhat quieter, compact swing. All in all, a successful launch, we can say.
So successful, that the rumor is now going around that Prince might stop using the rackets with the O3 and Exo3 hole technology altogether. The O3 and Exo3 rackets have scored high in the area of comfort and arm-friendliness for years and offer a great freedom of movement of the strings because they can slide in the 'grooves' of the holes. In addition to comfort, this is also good for a longer ball-string contact and a lot of grip on the ball. However, this is preceded by a rather complex production process, it seems.
The Textreme technology seems to have overtaken the O3/Exo3 technology. Because of a new way of weaving carbon, the Textreme rackets combine an exceptionally high racket stability with comfort. Moreover, Prince has long since ceased to be the brand with 'rackets with only those big blades'. Over the past 2 years, Prince has been releasing more and more 'closed' rackets (i.e. rackets without holes), under the name Pro models. In retrospect, this may seem to have been the prelude to all the great things we have seen expect from Prince in the near future. Mijnracket.nl will keep you informed!
