Rebel is the one used by mainly professional level these days.
If you are basic intermediate level player you better use technifibre or dunlop series.

@Ahmed: I’ve been using the previous O3 Silver model (not speedport, without that o-ring) for about 3 years now and are very very satisfied – strings replaced only three times, and its a really durable racket. Was actually looking to upgrade it to the newer edition, until i found this site stating the o-ring problems.
If anyone has suggestion of an actual upgrade, please reply.

A-I am confused which racket I should buy between below models for Prince. I need racket free from issues and have full options (power, control, balnce, durable,…etc). Which one is common used by professional/best players? Please Ranke it from top to low.
1-EXO3 REBEL or EXO3 IGNITE
2-O3 SPEEDPORT SILVER or BLACK or TOUR
3- O3 HYBRID SPEEDPORT X-TRA LIGHT or X-TRA POWER or X-TRA SPEED
B-Also which is better Prices or tecnifibre (DYNERGY TOUR 125 & CARBOFLEX 130)?

Hello
I wish also I have discovered this site before buying this racket. Played with it since the beginning of december twice a week, so I have played with it around 12 matches.
Strings have break. I have used Wilson and Unsquasable rackets and strings lasted me a lot of months and also years, so obviously this is a Prince’s design’s fault.

Do you know guys how to get a replacement? Does contact Prince work? Thanks.

Hello,
Don’t normally comment on these type of site, but felt compelled to after reading a few comments. I brought the Prince 03 speedport black in October 2010 and already have 2 sets of strings break. I’ve played twice a week with this racket and am currently in the process of trying to get a replacement from where i brought from. Other 03 rackets (oval speedports) rather the the rectangular ones on the speedport black do not break apparently. Hopefully price admit its a design fault.

Hi ,
What a pity I didn’t find this site earlier .
I bought O3 Black 2 days ago. I find it very good racket, I can say it is the best I’ve played. I only hope my strings will last longer then 2 months . Greetings from Gdansk, Poland!

Guys I have the Prince o3 black for 3 years now and I’ve restrung only once (play 3 times a week).
It’s amazing, got plenty of power (compared to a dunlop 4d pro i have, and a 5 year old prince model I had) and a nice swing.

Mine too has chipped the paint at some of the the o-ports but it doesn’t seem to affect the strings (maybe it will get worst with more games). After restringing I used a babolat 17g string (not as soft as technifibre I bet).

Gotta say, it’s a might strong racket too, hit the wall many times and still is fine. It did however develop slowly progressing crack on one of the o-ports (after possibly hitting a friend’s racket when going for the same ball during warm-up, we are both idiots I know!).

all in all, I would buy again for sure!
