Comments: Great stick for the in between player. Not better than prince EXO3 ignite 95 I would say, but overall it's okay. Some will say it's heavy at serving but it's not - if you throw the ball high enough and swing at the right point you will be find. Good luck.

Comments: I played with this stick for the first time today. Took awhile to get used to, eventually started to hit my forehands solidly. Still need time with it on my backhand. On serve, could not get a good a consistent pop, again, maybe I need more time. Overall, not a bad racquet, but not completely sold on it yet.

Comments: This racquet is a great all-court racquet. The Hybrid 100 feels great from any where on the court. I'm a 4.5 who played with a Wilson K Pro Tour who was looking for a tweener racquet and was drawn in by the price and was not disappointed. I string it with a co-poly at 60 lbs and syn-gut at 63 lbs on the high side. With the racquet strung on the high side, I can bash from any where on the court.

Comments: I had my daughter demo this based on the comments here, the specifications and the price. This turned out to be a disappointment. It was very poor at managing vibration on off-center hits. This combined with a low weight gave her little power and confidence. I decided to hit with it (4.5), and I felt it was more like a T2000 than some of the higher-end EXO3's.
From: Mike, 8/11

Comments: This racquet is very good. I matched specs from another brand since I want to play with a Prince racquet. It took some time to get the string tension right but at 63lbs this thing is great. I can pound the ball with spin when I want it and drives when needed. The racquet is very quick through the ball and sweet spot is more than adequate. On volleys it is very firm and solid. I would not underestimate this racquet and with its specs it can be easily customized.

Comments: I demoed the racket for 3 hours before I bought it, and I thought since they are at great prices I'll just get this over the Head Radical (a fantastic racket). It is the most forgiving racket I have hit with up to date. My groundstrokes weren't very hard with it but I was consistent. Most the shots floated in the air and weren't very heavy. Now this is an incredibly maneuverable racket very easy to use at net, but again feels like most my shots floated. On serve this racket lacks in power and spin, but still very easy to get in. Slices and drop shots were by far my favorite shot thanks to the polys and the larger head size. Overall this racket is good, easily controllable, and seems to get every shot in for you. If your a tennis player on a budget like me you have to look into this.
From: Todd. 5/11

Comments: Still have the previous model but the new string pattern is a great improvement over the previous model (16x19 102 inch), with the holes it was good for spin but little control.

Comments: This racquet is very nice. Having played with racquets in the past that have all had 105 - 110 inch headsizes as well as being either even or head-heavy, I was a bit worried that I may have trouble adapting to this smaller and head-light racquet. I was wrong, very very wrong. This racquet felt perfect from the first swing and serves feel nice and tight. Before, with the larger headsizes, I would hit balls out quite a bit and I felt like I did not have good control at the net. With this racquet, I keep so many serves in as well as keeping them exactly where I want them. I have noticed that you do need to create more power yourself to get it long but that is great if you want accurate hits and placement.
The control at the net is very nice, being able to place the ball wherever I want.
The weight is very nice, feeling solid and sturdy but not heavy at all. Being headlight, it is quick to get swinging fast and really slam those serves.
My biggest surprise is hitting off center shots, which still went where I wanted them to go without a big penalty to power or distance.
Overall I am very pleased with this racquet and it has been a very nice change over from the larger head sized racquets I used in the past.

Comments: Never had a smoother and easier racket to swing with. The power level is in the low mediums. Requires slower swing speed or else you loose control. Serves and volleys are great. The general feel of the racket is very comfortable. You still need a good technique to swing it properly and that is why TW is right to recommend it to 4 + level players.

Comments: Demoed this for one night and I have to say that it's not a bad racquet. This racquet makes it easy to put some power on the serve. Volleys were easy to hit. With such a large sweetspot, mishits were very forgiving. From the baseline the power on this racquet was just too much for me. I currently play with a K Pro Tour, and this thing just launched balls compared to my current racquet. If you don't put a decent amount of topspin on the ball it's hitting the fence. If you're looking for more power in a control-oriented stick this is a nice racquet. If you're only looking for control, but can generate your own power I would stay away from this racquet.

Comments: Amazing racquet!! Allows me to really hit out on the ball. Terrific control and makes my forehand a serious weapon. Serving also has a nice bite and fair power.

Comments: I'm a strong 68-year old that plays baseline, and goes to the net a lot. This racquet has it all, power, spin, & control and it is just a fine racquet. I was playing with Pete Sampras racquet so I thought to try the prince exo3 it really help my game and I'm going to get another one. Thanks to Mark and tennis warehouse personnel for your help.

Comments: Just played for the first time today with this racket! OUTSTANDING!!! Previously played with the Rebel team 95. Serves were by far better than before, excellent feel. Can't say enough good things about this racket. It's awesome. Can't wait for my next tournament!

Comments: This racquet is for the aggressive player looking for a control oriented racquet in a lighter package. The racquet hitting area shape is oval, not like how the EXO3 Black 100 is rounder. If you prefer hitting ball with top spin, sometimes you might hit the frame. Sometimes I think if this hitting area is designed as round shape, it might be a good racquet for top spin player. But since I learned the full swing movement,the Prince Ozone 4 Blue to me became too powerful. So I changed my racquet to the Prince Hybrid 100, my partner said that my tennis skill improved to a higher level.

Comments: I recently switched from a Prince 03 Hybrid Hornet MP to this racket, and I have to say, this racket rocks! Great on serves, forehands, everything! It might need a vibration dampener though, but overall, awesome.

Comments: I have been always a Prince fan, this racquet is very light and can produce powerful topspins, the price is good and the quality is very nice. It is very easy to hit hard flat balls and powerful Nadal style top spins. I recommend it for its price and quality.

Comments: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this racquet. I got a light, well-balanced racquet that I feel has allowed me to raise the quality and consistency of my game for a great price. Best of all, I find that I hit backhands more consistently and aggressively. I like this racquet so much that I'm considering "upgrading" to the Prince EXO3 White for just a few dollars more.

(Joe, the O3 White is not necessarily going to perform better because of the price, the spec's of a racquet have the greatest effect on the feel of the frame. Since the O3 White has different spec's you may find it doesn't perform the way you would expect-- TW Staff)

Comments: I have this racquet and I play High School tennis (varsity). And it's actually a very good racquet. There's a lot better rackets out there but this is good for the price.

Comments: What a fantastic racquet! I have been playing for around a year and me switching to EXO3 Hybrid 100 from K 6.1 Tour has been a great decision. Bigger sweet spot, easy maneuvering and decent amount of spin have helped me to improve my game. The biggest improvement areas are volleys, serves and baseline groundstrokes. This racquet is simply EXCELLENT & COMFORTABLE!!

Comments: This racquet was overall very good. It got me playing a whole lot more aggressive and keeping my balls dead on at the baseline or barely in with ease. Serves are no sweat with it and my net play improved. My Freshman year was good but by getting familiar with this racquet sophomore year..."Hello State"!!!

Comments: Great racquet, when I demoed it, I hardly missed a ball. Didn't put too much topspin on the balls, just flat hard balls, which the racquet was great with. The serve was good also, might need a dampener for the racquet (I recommend a Prince dampener).

Comments: I love this racquet. It's very maneuverable, lightweight, spin-friendly, and control-friendly. Plus, it's also easy on the elbow and the wallet. It reminds me of the Prince racquets I grew up with in the '80s--racquets that allow you to dial up or dampen down your power based on your swing.

Comments: I really enjoyed playing with this racquet. But, I am only twelve and it was WAY too light for me. I think it is better at a slow swing speed, because attempting to swing it faster will result in a lot of difficulty controlling your swing. But it is amazing when it comes to volleying and serving because of its weight distribution. So, overall, it is a good racquet for the player who wants a good stick for a great price.
From: Anonymous, Louisville, KY USA 02/10
Headsize: 100

Comments: I found this to be very maneuverable to accompany my fast swing speed. It is also great for volleying at the net. Since it has an open string pattern, it gave me easy access to a lot of top spin on my forehand (hitting with a semi-western grip). The only downside to this stick is the stiffness. It feels like it took a lot of my drive away since it's at 60 and my old Dunlop was at 64. But overall, it is a great stick for its price.
