Prince Pro Hyper 550 – new for this year the Pro Hyper 550 is built with version 2 of Textreme graphite for additional performance and Twaron fibers for increased durability. The Pro Hyper 550 is the lightest of the Pro versions weighing in at 120 grams bare frame with a balance of 345mm. Overall the racquet is light to pick up but the head heavy balance ploughs through the ball. Frame weight:120 grams Balance: 345mm Factory strung Grip: Prince Resipro squash (white) Power Level: 550 Prince has taken the line up and split it into 2 versions: the Pro and the Elite.In each of these versions they have three weight classifications: 120g / 125g / 130g. The Pro versions ( Vortex, Phoenix, & Hyper) are built using V2 of Textreme graphite and Twaron fiber for increased performance. The Elite versions are built using 100% High Modulus Graphite. From the initial hit the Pro versions (Vortex, Phoenix, and Hyper) all hit with a more dampened / solid feel whereas the Elite versions built with 100% HM Graphite have a definite livelier feel when the ball comes off the stringbed. Another feature of the Prince racquets are the Power Level indicators. In essence as a racquet increases in weight or to a more head heavy balance the power level will go up. As the Power level goes down the racquet becomes quicker and more maneuverable. The Prince racquets we carry range in Power Level from 500 – 750.
