Prince Textreme Racket Collection: A New Way for Prince?
After a very successful launch of the Prince Textreme racket collection in the spring of 2015, rumors are circulating that Prince might discontinue the well-known rackets with the O3 and Exo3 hole technology. These technologies, which have been praised for years for their comfort and arm-friendliness, seem to make way for the upcoming Textreme technology. Read all about the background and what we can expect from Prince in the future below.
The Prince Textreme collection was launched with four models, which were well received in both Europe and America. In Germany, the Textreme Tour 100T was the test winner in the all-round category, where it competed with the Babolat Pure Drive , the Head Graphene XT Instinct MP , and other top models from well-known brands. In the United States, the 'flagship' model, the Prince Textreme Tour 95 , also scored high in the 'Tour' category. In addition, the T extreme Warrior 107 received rave reviews for its excellent playing characteristics, especially for players with a quieter and more compact swing. This success strengthened Prince's position in the market, with a wide range for different playing styles.
The Rumor: Discontinuing O3 and Exo3 Hole Technology?
The O3 and Exo3 rackets from Prince have been known for years for their unique comfort and arm-friendliness. The holes in these rackets offer greater freedom of movement of the strings, resulting in longer ball contact and more grip on the ball. In addition, these features contribute to a smoother playing experience and are especially popular with players who are prone to injuries to the arm or shoulder.
But rumor has it that Prince is considering discontinuing the production of these rackets. The main reason seems to be the rise of Textreme technology , which according to many experts has surpassed O3 and Exo3 technology. Textreme rackets combine racket stability with comfort through a new way of carbon weaving, which allows them to offer more control and precision without sacrificing comfort.
Textreme: The Future of Prince?
With the launch of the Textreme models , Prince shows that they are no longer dependent on the O3 and Exo3 technology. The Textreme rackets are popular because of their high stability, combined with a surprisingly comfortable playing feel. Moreover, this technology offers advantages for players with different playing styles, from baseliners to all-rounders.
It seems that Prince has been slowly moving away from the O3 and Exo3 models in recent years. Under the Pro models, the brand has been introducing more and more 'closed' rackets without holes in the last two years, which in retrospect may have been a precursor to the shift to the Textreme line.
What can we expect from Prince?
Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, Prince 's focus seems to be shifting from the classic O3 and Exo3 racquets to the innovative Textreme technology . This development offers new possibilities for players looking for a combination of comfort and performance, without having to rely on the older hole technology. Prince continues to innovate and offers a wide range of racquets for different playing styles and levels.
