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 Logo
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.

Where to Get a Tennis Racquet Re-Gripped

WILSON CUSHION AIRE CLASSIC CONTOUR TENNIS GRIP
Bring your racquet in and we will professionally re-grip it for you.
When the grip is shot on your tennis racquet, you will miss some shots you would normally make.

In fact, every time you hit hard shots off center, the racquet will turn in your hand. The more it turns in your hand, the more shots you will miss.

Most recreational tennis players don’t understand the importance of grip. They think it is an unimportant part of the racquet when it is actually more important than the string bed.

A player who has good traction on his racquet handle can play well with new strings or old strings. But a player with no traction on his handle can’t play well with either.

Racquet Network offers free labour for re-gripping tennis racquets in our southwest Calgary store. The whole process only takes a few minutes. We can usually do it right on the spot.

Racquet Network carries a large selection of apparel for men who play tennis and other racquet sports. Bring your racquet into the store and we will professionally re-grip it for you.
