Time to Replace Your Prince Tennis Racquet?

PRINCE O3 BEAST 100 (300) TENNIS FRAME
Email our experts with your questions about Prince tennis racquets.
Most Prince ™ fans have been Prince fans for a very long time. Many of them bought their first Prince tennis racquets in the late 80s or early 90s. They have a long term relationship with the brand and aren’t interested in changing.

Eventually, however, the time comes to upgrade. Often, this decision is forced on a customer when either the bumper guard wears through or enough grommets break off that their Prince racquet becomes a string eater that is too costly to maintain.

Sometimes, though, it’s a pride issue. Players love their Prince racquets, but they become self conscious about carrying around a racquet that is older than their adult children. They may not need a new racquet for practical reasons, but they want a new one for appearance’s sake.

Regardless of your reason, our experts can help. Simply drop us an email with the specs of your current Prince tennis racquet. We will look at the specifications of the new frames and tell you which of the current models is most like the one you have.

We can’t recommend a specific racquet for you because have a firm company policy in place that prohibits our experts from recommending specific brands or specific models. However, our experts can answer questions about specifications and other details that will help you make an informed decision.

How to Choose a Prince Tennis Racquet

PRINCE O3 BEAST 100 (300) TENNIS FRAME
If you can’t test drive a Prince tennis racquet, you may want to read online reviews.
There are two ways to figure out which Prince ™ tennis racquet is best for you.

The best way is to actually test drive the racquet. That way you get a sense of how it feels and how it performs when it is in your own hands.

If, however, you can’t test drive a racquet, you may have to rely on reading some online reviews. This is clearly not as good as an actual test drive, but it does give you some information to work from.

Our website contains two kinds of reviews. One set of reviews come from customers who have purchased racquets online and have submitted a product review within 30 days in order to get a discount on a future purchase.

These reviews appear under the customer’s name and are generally fairly descriptive.

The other set of racquet reviews you will see on our website appear under the name “Racquet Network” and look something like this:

★★★★★
“John Doe. Demo Card Feedback. 1 JAN 2018.”

This second set of reviews comes from cards that customers fill out after test driving a racquet in our southwest Calgary store. On each of these cards, customers rate each of the racquets they test drive on a scale of one to five stars.

Racquet Network does not alter reviews nor do we care how many stars customers give these racquets. We simply present the information as it is given to us.

When a Prince tennis racquet consistently gets high ratings from many people, it tells you that it is probably a racquet that is easy to get along with.

When a Prince tennis racquet gets inconsistent results, it means that the racquet appeals to players with particular tastes or needs.

When a Prince tennis racquet gets consistently low ratings, it’s probably best to avoid it.

Racquet Network customers test drive more than a thousand racquets a year. So it doesn’t take long for good racquets to emerge as highly popular demos.

Where to Test Drive a Prince Tennis Racquet in Calgary

PRINCE BEAST 25 JUNIOR TENNIS RACQUET
Which Prince tennis racquet will work best for you?
Figuring out which Prince ™ tennis racquet is best for you can be difficult.

Like every major tennis brand, Prince makes racquets for a wide variety of games and playing styles.

Some racquets are designed for singles, some for doubles, and some for both. There are racquets for hard hitting base-liners and racquets for defensive doubles placers.

Racquet Network picks four to six of the best racquets from each brand, including Prince, and makes them available for players to test drive. In doing this, we make sure that we have at least one racquet to cover every player and playing style.

Our test drive program is called Try One Before You Buy One. It gives customers a month to try a variety of racquets before deciding which racquet they want to buy.

Come into our southwest Calgary store and let our experts set you up with a Prince racquet to test drive. Our staff can help you find a racquet that works well for you.

Where to Buy Prince Tennis Racquets in Calgary

Prince tennis racquets are available in Calgary again.
Prince fans in Calgary have had a hard time finding Prince ™ tennis racquets over the past five years.

This is because Prince’s US parent company has recently passed through multiple bankruptcies and several unsuccessful distribution agreements.

The good news is that this situation appears to have stabilized. Prince now has a reliable distributor in Canada who is able to supply us with a partial range of Prince tennis products.

Not all Prince products available in the US are available in Canada, but Racquet Network has agreed to carry a range of shoes and tennis racquets as well as a small number of bags and accessories.

These products are available in our southwest Calgary store located in Woodbine. Customers who are curious about what Prince has to offer this year can come into our store and consult with one of our tennis experts.
