The Cortex Technology filters out harmful vibrations that may contribute to tennis elbow without sacrificing the excellent feel and control that has made Babolat a world power in tennis equipment. The Woofer technology adds pistons to the frame that act as suspension to decrease the amount of shock that could potentially hurt the player. Like the earlier version, the AeroPro Drive Cortex features the same AeroModular technology that allows for a more aerodynamic frame to increase headspeed and further increasing the power and control permitted to the user.

The Tecnifibre TFight 320 VO2 Max is a new offering in the player oriented TFight series. The TFight 320 offers outstanding control for the hard hitting baseline player, now with the added performance of VO2 Max technology. Tecnifibre uses VO2 Max to facilitate the "breathability" of the racquet. During ball impact the racquet flexes in a particular pattern which is known as breathing. Tecnifibre uses the VO2 Max Technology to regulate the flex pattern of the racquet through the use of Carbon Stabyl Fibers and Carbon Reflex Fibers in order to achieve the optimal flex pattern.

The Tecnifibre TFight 320 VO2 Max offers a traditional head light balance and thinner 21.5mm beam. The open 16x19 string pattern further lends itself to enhanced spin potential and maneuverability. Endorsed by tennis stars F.Verdasco and J.Tipsarevic, Tecnifibre's TFight 320 VO2 Max delivers maximum power along with stability and maneuverability to the elite player who likes to play from the baseline with a patient tactical approach.

Prince 03 Hybrid Hornet Mid Plus

2011-01-24T07:48:00.000-08:00

Prince 03 Hybrid Hornet MP

The 2006 Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet racquets are designed to be the most versatile frames that Prince will offer this year. True to their purpose, we found the balanced performance of these racquets suits a wide variety of players and playing styles. The O3 Hybrid Hornet is available in MP 100 and OS 110 head sizes.

One year after the introduction of Prince’s O3 racquets, this new Hybrid series debuts a second-generation design. Prince uses a greater number of conventional grommets on the O3 Hybrids. The unmistakable O-Ports are confined to noon and six on the perimeter of the frame. Prince says this extends the sweet spot towards the tip of the racquet where most mis-hits occur.

On the court, these racquets impress in every performance category. Our competitive intermediate play testers began hitting good shots right away thanks to the excellent overall usability of these frames. Both frames swing easy thanks to moderate weight and the favorable aerodynamics of the 0-Ports. The sweet spots are also large and deliver a comfortable shot response. Excellent spin capability combines with nice maneuverability and ready power to put more drive into serves, overheads, and groundstrokes.

The two head sizes play remarkably alike. All of our intermediate play testers felt OS 110 had a consistency advantage over the smaller MP 100 because of its larger sweet spot. We see the MP 100 as a nice fit for advanced players and aggressive hitters who want an O3 frame with performance that falls in between the O3 White and O3 Tours.

Prince EX03 Silver 118 Tennis Racket

-Power, maneuverability and comfort come together in the continued evolution of the Silver racquet line. The EXO3 Silver features the patented Energy Bridge and Energy Channel. The Energy Bridge suspends the string bed from the frame. This technology, according to Prince, enlarges the sweetspot up to 83% and reduces vibrations up to 50%. Meanwhile, the Energy Channel is a sculpted groove within the frame that offers you more control and offers up to 25% more spin, Prince says. Together with the aerodynamic ports, the EXO3 technologies create a racquet that swings fast through the air, offering excellent power, depth and spin without sacrificing comfort. The head heavy balance and 27.5" extended length help generate power off compact swings, making this EXO3 Silver an impressive choice for players at the 2.0-4.0 levels looking for easily tapped power in a comfortable racquet.

Prince O3 White

Prince O3 White
-Prince's O Port technology makes for another comfortable stick in the O3 White. This one offers a maneuverable and spin friendly feel that will favor aggressive all court players. We found racquet head speed easy to generate making this racquet a joy when hitting topspin angles or when taking a rip at short balls. There is ample power for big serves and deep hitting from the backcourt, yet enough feel and control for solid placement on touch and finesse shots. At net the O3 White feels solid and comfortable. The maneuverable feel makes this one a good racquet for fast exchanges and the generous sweetspot helps keep just reached volleys deep. All in all, the O3 White is another solid offering from Prince. Fitting nicely between the O3 Red and the O3 Tour Midplus, the O3 White favors the player looking for some extra pop and mobility without sacrificing control and placement. All court and doubles players at the 3.5-5.5 level should definitely take this one for a demo.

Adidas barricade 5

As with previous Barricades, we found this fifth version to require a brief break-in. Just as we did with the Barricade IV, our testers found the wait during break-in well worth the effort. Once the shoes were ready for play our testers found a light feeling shoe with improved ventilation. All of the usual Barricade support and stability was there, but we found this one to be a faster feeling shoe. Adidas continues to offer a six-month durability guarantee with this version. We put the shoes to the test with a lengthy hard court only test period - doubling our usual 3-weeks of testing. Most testers hardly put a dent in the outsoles and we'll wager not many players will wear these shoes out in a six-month period. Take that impressive durability and add it to all the other performance benefits of this shoe, and there's no doubt in our minds that this latest Barricade replaces its predecessor as the new, ultimate hard court shoe.
A respected tennis legend in its own right, the updated adidas Barricade 5 tennis shoe poses a serious threat to all of your opponents with adiPRENE®+ forefoot propulsion, TORSION® SYSTEM support and a multidirectional, feathered build.
