A phenomenally stable racquet design is created, with a huge sweet spot for more power and precision than ever. It optimizes the weight distribution for perfect balance and maximum stability while enlarging the sweet spot.  So--you get light, strong, and responsive all at the same time--that's the big deal.  The racquet head is in a teardrop shape with a twist--instead of perpendicular stringing, the strings are set in a power fan.   The strings on the vertical axis all fan out from a concentrated Power Ring area--that fanning allows longer stringing to be used with a more concentrated central area where the majority of your shots are struck--MORE POWER, LARGER SWEETSPOT.    All told, the enlarged sweetspot, particularly at the top of the racquet is ideal for dealing with an opponent who is feeding you balls that leave you glued to the wall or stuck in the corner. This is the latest, greatest thing in stringing technology and becoming the standard in high-end racquets. This racquet also features the trademarked Prince Air Handle.  Simply put, the handle has a hollow chamber with an absorbent elastomer insert to absorb vibration.  It makes the racquet lighter and maximizes your power.  The weight of this racquet is 145 grams unstrung.  Although it is extremely light, there are some slightly lighter racquets in the line, but the balanced feel is one many people are comfortable with and it is ideal for driving the ball tactically, with great force.  The overall accuracy and power make it an unbeatable combination for the right player.  This racquet features a mid-sized head.  At 73 square inches (470 square cm) it is fairly typical and familiar size and allows for an optimal balance of racquet speed, balance, and accuracy. However, the engineering behind it creates a larger sweetspot in a mid-sized head giving you a greater margin of error.  That is crucially important against a highly skilled opponent.  Frequently you have adequate time to set up for and make a nice return but the true test of an excellent player is how you perform under pressure, off-balance, in an awkward stance, pressed for time--a better racquet gives you an edge under conditions like this.  Against a skilled player, they are trying their best to put you in such a position all the time.  Additionally, this racquet features a PowerScoop neck.  It is concave and made to transfer maximum power while being more absorbent on wall and floor impacts (hopefully not too many opponent head impacts--be careful out there...--call a let).   The racquet comes pre-strung with Prince's top of the line synthetic stringing--Super Syn Gut 17.  Finally, the racquet is equipped with a protective absorbent, lightweight, low-friction plastic covering on the exterior, particularly around the topmost part of the racquet.  They call it the Wall Glider (I wonder if it glides off heads...)  After you've broken your first few racquets scraping returns from tight rail shots or digging a well-placed ball out of the corner, you'll appreciate this little feature.  Also included is a full-length complete, padded and ventillated racquet cover--reasonably important to protect your racquet from damage or premature aging. We are offering this racquet at a super-low price with no reserve.  We are proud to be PowerSellers with a 100% positive feedback rating--how many sellers can say that?  We also ship immediately upon payment and are glad to ship internationally anywhere in the world.  I am an experienced squash player and would be glad to answer any questions you may have.  Good luck!!!   Place a Bid!
