Comments: Amazing racquet, a must have racquet. The racquet is light and is great for serves. It is slightly head heavy which helps with serves. This racquet is definitely a player's racquet. I think this racquet is perfect for 4.0 to 5.5 players. The racquet is okay on touch shots but makes up with having a lot of power and able to handle pace easily with this raquet. This racquet raised my level from a 4.0 to a 4.5 with Big Banger ALU Power strings. I am still learning about this racquet after hitting with it two times. This racquet lets you hit off from the baseline and serve a lot harder then with other prince racquets. Once you get the feel of this racquet, you feel like you can almost do anything with the racquet, great control. As the comment from Lorenzo, it is not the racquet but how you play that really makes this racquet stand out. If you know you can be a better player if you had that racquet that empowers you to hit harder and handle pace, then this is your racquet. This racquet also handles vibration very well. I could go on and on about this racquet.

Comments: "It is not the racquet, it is the way you play", some people had said this to me when I was struggling to play with the Head Youtek IG Speed 18/20. But when I changed to this racquet, it was a gigantic game changer for me. It was so comfortable to hit, the spin, the feel, and the comfort. Perfect for someone who has a short swing and relies on the racquet for the power. It is very forgiving and perfect for intermediate level players. It was so good I didn't even demo before I bought the racquet.

Comments: I had my eye on this one for some time but the cost - even at low Tennis Warehouse price - was prohibitive. Found this on Tennis Warehouse's used racquet page with my grip size at a discount and thank you to whoever gave it up. I love this racquet. Very forgiving and like the description says, the sweet spot feels very big - a real plus at my level. Comfortable - as comfortable as some of the Volkl racquets I've tried. Easy to swing. Plenty of power for me on the forehand. Serves and backhand just feel right. Love hate relationship with the cosmetic though.

Comments: I bought this racquet about a month ago, I'm practically beginner but since my uncle is a tennis coach he has taught me a lot. I tried many different racquets because I wanted to make the perfect buy; I tried Babalot aero gt drive and other Babalots. But all in all this racquet was perfect. It gives me great spin and power. Beautiful control and is so good on my arm. I love this nice killing weapon, perfect on serves.

Comments: Head light compared to O3 white, switching back/forth between the two. Serves: I could achieve 100 mph flat, about 55-60% in, low-mid 90s well placed in the corners, top spin slice about low-mid 80's with 0-2' controllable side break, good kick (ball stays shoulder-head high well past baseline) 90% in. Groundstrokes: good spin, could flatten shots out or top spin on demand. Rallying with couple of 4.0-4.5 players, I held form on backhand better with this racquet than with O3 white. Serve returns: very nice feel/placement on blocked backhand returns, could place them regularly in corners against serves up to near 100 mph, shoulder high. Physical: I'm 6'1", elbow with 2" tear in ligament (1HBH), so comfort is important. Both O3 and EXO are "easy" on the elbow, will take up some shock from heavy hitters.

From: Jacob, USA, 07/10

Comments: Awesome racket!! Made my strokes feel very smooth. I always like Babolat but this really produced better shots. I have never felt so good about playing like this. I worked so hard on topspin and this really makes it much easier to hit with than other bulky Babolats. Get this racket!!

Comments: I demoed this racquet recently along with three others (Babolat Aero Pro Drive GT, Dunlop Aerogel 4D 300, Wilson BLX Pro Open). Developed an instant liking for the Babolat in the first two days, but my wrist started hurting from the third day onward due to the high stiffness of that racquet. Switched to using this one and it has been smooth sailing. Ordered this strung with Tecnifibre Black Code 16G at 58lbs. My wrist hasn't complained at all and the shots are deep with a nice spin to them. All in all this is a great racquet.

Comments: I had a Prince O3 Speedport Black, which is stiff and gave me a lot of arms problems. I've only been playing tennis for a couple years and have only tried 4 or 5 different racquets. I've experimented with different string tensions, grip sizes, racquets and so on. I just started with the EXO3 White and WOW! I'm a bigger person (6-1, 220lbs) and for some reason thought the White wasn't for me. But I generate my own power and someone in the other comments made the statement that this racquet is a "smooth ride". And that is it. At least for me. I've never hit shots with the top spin and control and the smoothness as with this racquet. And the bottom line: I can now trust myself to use my OWN power because I KNOW where the ball is going. That is huge! I've had to play it safe to keep the unforced errors down. It does feel a little lighter and I did have some trouble adjusting on my serve. But that was gone after 10 minutes of practice. Definitely my only choice going forward.

Comments: I love this racket! Played a match with it recently and won 6-0, 6-1. I seem to hit every shot better with it. I find it to have the ideal specs for my game: 10.9 oz (heavy enough but not too heavy), medium power (1100 on the Prince scale), 100 head size (for a big sweet spot), and even balance (for all court play). The problem with many of the game improvement rackets is they are just too light (9.5-10.3 oz) for me to feel the racket head and that screws up my timing. This racket on the other hand gives me game improvement features such as a large sweet spot and even balance without the super lightweight. Good job Prince, there is no other racket on the market with specs quite like this one; please keep making it as it fits my all court game perfectly.

Comments: I was hitting in a lesson at my club and my pro recommended I try this racquet. It played quite well for my game because it has so much power and comfort. I do not know too much about the technology but loved the way it worked. It took a while to get used to and I just got mine last week and my pro recommended Prince Premiere string. It made the racquet play super soft and it is strung at 58 lbs I think. I am very pleased with this racquet and will be a Prince supporter for a long time. Thanks! :)

Comments:Prince EXO3 White Playtest Current set-up. Wilson kTour 95 with lead added at 12 o'clock, strung with PSGD16. Hours with playtest. Just over four hours, including both singles and doubles play. Strings in playtest. Mine was also strung with a hybrid of the green poly-spin and multifilament. Forehands. I loved this racquet on my forehand. I was able to swing it quite fast through my strike zone, and I found really nice added great power and spin without sacrificing control. Down the line forehands in particularly shined with this racquet for me. Backhands. I couldn't find the same 'zip' on my 2HBH that I did with my FH. It is my weaker side, overall, though. I hit some solid BHs, but nothing spectacular. I like to mix up things with a BH slice pretty frequently, and while my initial BH slices were high and floaty, but I was able to adjust after some more playing time. Volleys. This light racquet was very maneuverable on volleys. I had fun at the net, and enjoyed the larger sweet spot. I was able to easily use my opponent's pace to hit a solid, deep volley. Serves. I initially had a hard time adjusting to the racquet on serve. This is where I felt I was left wanting some more weight. If I got my toss up a bit higher, it seemed to help. After about 10 minutes though, I was hitting some nice, deep serves with good pace. Spin serves were amazing with this racquet, it was much easier for me to generate spin on my serves than with my kTour. Returns. I really liked this racquet on returns as well. Again, it is very light and maneuverable, and I found I was able to take it back very quickly and take a nice rip on some returns. Returns are not my strong point, so I was happy with the help I felt this racquet gave me. In conclusion. I found the EXO3 White to be a stable, maneuverable racquet that does lots of things well. It was more forgiving than my kTour and I enjoyed the larger head size and sweet spot. While I do find it too light, I think that would easily be remedied by adding some lead tape. It was a lot of fun to play with, and I actually went ahead and bought one. I'm now grappling with whether or not to go ahead and switch (hoping that a bit of added weight will make it perfect for me) or to stick with my old faithful kTours.

Comments: Yonex RDS 001 MP Strings: Prince Poly mains and Prince Syn Gut crosses Hours put on frames: 4 Comment: I compared the weight, balance and frame width to the O3 White and the Speedport White and they are basically the same across all 3 frames. So I think it's safe to assume if you use these older frames, the EXO3 White will be an easy switch.
Groundstrokes: I do not like racquets that have string beds that feel dead or muted. So I struggled to adjust to the EX03 White at first due to this trait and its lighter weight. Removing the vibration dampener helped. Still there was little feedback when hitting the ball, and shots were flying on me at first. Once I shortened up my stroke and let the racquet do the work, I was able to place my shots much better. Topspin is definitely needed to keep balls in the court. The lack of feel also made it hard to feather slice shots, but the EXO3 White does work on slice shots, you just have to use perfect form. The racquet feels surprisingly solid for its weight and I think that is probably due to the almost even balance.
Serve: I reply mainly on power and placement on my serve. I'll add a bit of slice or topspin, but I can't hit kickers anymore due to a back injury. It was hard to get much controllable pace on power serves with EXO3 White. However, its light weight and huge sweetspot made it very easy to add a lot of side spin and topspin to serves.
Volley: The light weight and huge sweetspot will bail you out if you get a bit sloppy at the net. However don't expect much feel or depth on reflex volleys and the same issue of control I noted in the groundstroke section is an issue at the net. The light weight does allow hard hit shots to push the racquet around, so good footwork and form is needed against a hard hitter.
Serve Returns: Serve returns were also a mixed bag. The light weight makes it easy to whip the frame around and catch up to a hard hit serve. But it also means that serve returns tended to fall shorter than I was use too. Blocked returns also fall short, with little weight.
General Comments: In many ways, this racquet reminded of the old Prince TT Tungsten Hornet MP I used in a heavily modded form for a couple of seasons. You can swing them for hours without tiring as long as you remember to let the racquet do the work. The EXO3 White is a comfortable, plush ride that can produce nice shots from any place on the court. Weight of shot suffers, but higher head speed can be produced with less effort. Our pro saw I had it, gave it a spin and absolutely loved it. He currently plays with a Speedport Black and said he will change when he can get the EXO3 White. If you prefer a slightly lighter frame that straddles the line between a player's frame and a tweener, the EXO3 White is good choice.

Comments: Personal Racquet- MG Prestige Mid Strings in test- Polyspin 3D Green/Prince Multifilament Hours playtested- 5
Initial impressions- The frame has very clean lines and a nice design. Green polyspin looks really cool in this one. For some reason, hefting the frame about, I felt like the head size was greater than 100. It reminded me very much of my old Radical OS.
Groundstrokes-Let me preface my review by noting that I'm really not a big fan of multifilament strings. I also am a higher tension stringer. The demo I received felt quite loose and mushy with the combination of strings in it. Hitting forehands and backhands with this frame, while not difficult, was not particularly comfortable. Ball pocketing with this frame is superb, almost too much for me. Every forehand I sought to spin in felt very mushy, like it would stick to the stringbed, sink in and then trampoline out. For flat strokes this was an interesting bonus, for my usual spin strokes it was a disaster. I could only hit a rally ball or a flat, low paced ball. I wasn't ever able to crank up the heat and smoke a winner. Slice is above par here. The action on the string bed bites nicely into the ball and helps attain a nice sitter.
Volleys- Again, huge pocketing here, It feels like volleys are a bit delayed due to the response of the frame. The extra split second did give me a slight sense of control and comfort though. Placement is about average, nothing too crazy
Serve- Serves on this racquet, like groundstrokes, were quite powerful. While the frame felt nice swinging, I had no conception of where the ball was going to land. Flat Serves that normally felt on target were deep and balls I normally would slap long or wide fell in. Very confusing. I think that a nice healthy tweak in strings here would benefit my personal style of play. What I really did appreciate about this frame was the advantage it gave me for kick serves. The pocketing effect of the ball certainly gave a nice extra jump to my kick. Very cool as I haven't seen a ball lift that high in a while.
Overall impressions-- While the frame was a comfortable hit, I would not feel comfortable playing with it in a match. Strings could have been a huge factor here but I did not have the time to cut them out and re-string to my liking. To me, the EXO White is a solid teaching frame, enabling one to feed balls comfortable and play out mid level rally points with a student. It's not an overly demanding frame, light on the arm, and joints. I personally just prefer crisper, less powerful frames. Although I'm a bit new to this whole port concept, I found that I much preferred the feel of the Ignite and 93 Graphite.

Comments: I demoed this racquet on two different occasions on both hard and clay courts, for a total of four days of hitting, in both drills and matchplay. After the fourth day, I ordered two of these from TW with Tecnifibre Blackcode 17 in the mains and Tecnifibre X-One Bi-phase 17 in the Crosses. My first impression was the racquet was too light for my groundstrokes, but I like it for volleys and serving for it's maneuverability.
I have demoed Babolat PureDrive GT, GT Plus, GT Lite, Prince EXOs in the Black, White and Red. Prince Red too much power. Prince EXO Black great for serves, volleys, and groundstrokes, but after hitting three days in a row, my arm was a little sore. Same with the Babolat GT and GT plus. Great racquets, but I can't hit with them for three days in a row without my arm hurting. Unfortunately due to my job, I normally hit Sat-Sun-Mon, then work out of town Tues-Fri. The only other option is to hit on Sat and Mon only. Maybe soon, two days a week will be good enough to maintain my level, but I'm trying to improve for now.
The Prince EXO White is 10.4 oz compared to the EXO Black at 10.9 oz, so I figure I can always add/removed lead tape to tinker with the weight, but after four days of hitting with both the Black EXO and White EXO, I was more comfortable with my two-handed backhand (my favorite shot), and my serves (my weakness) with the EXO White. This racquet has great maneuverability compared to the Babolat GT and GT Plus, and to the Black EXO, yet it is solid enough to put away crisp, clean volleys.
The only drawback is the "muted" feeling that both the EXO Black and White have. It just takes a little getting use to the feeling, but after four days, I adapted and was able to hitting winners both down the lines, and crosscourt taking short balls early when giving the chance. The racquet is solid on return of serves, overheads, and volleys. Three guys on my Men's team commented: "Your backhand is lethal", "You're hitting the ball hard and in", and "You've been practicing a lot" I give this racquet a lot of the credit.

Comments: I bought this racket because the weight and balance seemed to interest me. At first try, I really can't find my depth and control in my shots especially that I am having a hard time adjusting with a heavier racket. But after minutes of hitting, I was able to find my rhythm in my shots. The only thing that gave me a hard time adjusting in this racket is that I really can't find the right feel for my drop shots, it's pretty difficult for me to find my range, my drop shots are flying way too high, and the serves are a little bit shaky, I like the way I'm serving but the vibration it give to my serving arm is crazy. But my groundstrokes are really good with this racket, same with the return of serves, maybe it was because of the stiffness that makes me hit a good cut at returns. Overall very good racket, just needs to be patient to get use to it.

Comments: While I wasn't a huge fan of the feel of the frame, I was really surprised by the performance. I had lots of directional control, and was able to move my opponents around more than usual. Aggressive cuts dropped in nicely, and my slice bit well. The racquet didn't stand out at any one thing, but it did everything in a very satisfactory way. For serve, I rely mostly on spin, rather than power, and I felt there was a little trouble getting the racquet moving. I didn't feel that my placement was as good as I'd liked, but the power was there. I was hitting my serves deeper into the box than usual, but I wasn't getting very much bite. Lots of "touch" with this frame, but not as much "feel" that I'd like, if that makes any sense. I would go for a short, angled volley and make it, but not really know if it was going where I wanted. It performs well for the weight, and in my eyes could be a very versatile frame for just about any style of player, but the feel is the deal killer for me.
