Comments: Have played with the TT scream in league and tourney play (3.5 level) for a about a year now (I own three). My first new rackets in about 20 years. My elbow started to hurt from using this racquet. Not a problem now as I'm using lead at 3 and 9 o'clock to give it some plow, which also beefed up it's serving power. Broke the original syn gut and restrung it several times using Babolat N.vy 16 at 61 lbs (arm friendly). This racquet definitely has power - I am old school eastern FH grip and this thing can rip a flat shot and then some. I also get some good touch off of it. I think for the price, it is not bad.

Comments: This racquet is a great racquet to start out with it takes a little time to get used to but otherwise a great racquet. I had it for awhile and it's still in good shape it's great for serving and also great with returning shots. I love the racquet.
From: Michael, 3/12

Comments: It's a great racquet. I used it since it first launched in 2002, and still can't find any other models to replace. It's the right balance between power and control. Very firmed feeling when hitting the ball. I have 2 of these racquets already, and am ordering for the 3rd one. The current price is 60% cheaper than when I got my first one.

Comments: I've played tennis for a while. I'm 18 and I don't have much money. I got this racquet a while back because it seemed like a cheap, decent racquet. Now I've used it for a year and a half and I'm amazed. It may not be the best racquet, but is great for the price. It beats some $200 racquets with a 20 foot pole. Used the Prince strings it comes with but they break too easily and I'm too impatient to order some. Just broke them for the 4th time and I'm stepping it up to a reel of Babolat Pro Hurricane Tours. Can't wait till they come in.

The Youtek is a whole lot better than the Microgel.

I can hit hard shots with a LOAD of topspin; I've never played tennis as good as I do now with other rackets. Whenever I play with a friend's racket I am not NEARLY as good as when I use The Prince TT Scream OS racket.

Comments: Great racquet to improve your game and can't be beaten for the money. However, if you develop a full, fast swing, the racquet will soon have too much power. I added 1 oz. lead in the handle and some lead tape on the frame to bring it up to about 11.5 oz stung and super-headlight. Now my shots stay in. It really helps to have the extra weight, particularly on serves and volleys. If you weight it properly, this racquet can grow with your game. I agree with the comments here that the cheap synth gut it comes strung with isn't very good. But, once you break it, you can restring it with higher-quality stuff. Definitely needs a vibration dampener as well--I just went cheap and used a rubber band.

Comments: I have been using the TT for a year now and find it to be a great topspin/slice control racket. For the price at Tennis Warehouse, I bought 3 rackets. I'm strong enough to supply any power the racket lacks. For the first 8 months, I had the racket strung at 60lbs. I found myself hitting accurate, hard shots with lots of topspin. Then a friend suggested I try stringing the TT at 55lbs-- big mistake! The ball was popping off the racket with far less control and I could feel the strings and racket head flexing. This is a great racket for players who like to wrist shots, use excess topspin, and want ultra- fast racket head speed. The TT's weight allows for free and fast swings, but as I said, keep the string tension up at 60 or higher for maximum performance.

From: Ellie, WA, USA, 06/08

Comments: Eh, overall a decent racket for mid-level players. The frame was a bit too lightweight for me, and thus created too much racket head speed and launched balls out with surprising regularity. I was able to spin serves in really well, but power serves were a lot more taxing on my arm and shoulder. The strings that the racket comes with are good enough, but replacing them with Babolat Tour or Luxilon Big Banger is a much better bet. Though it is oversized, I tend to believe that the sweetspot is a bit hard to find in the middle of games. Because of the oversize head, it suffers on volleys from a harder hitting opponent, unless you have plenty of strength to hold the head steady. The racket works out on the forehand side if you tend to hit a slower swing, but the faster swings do tend to launch too much. Backhand side is much the same. I thought his racket is very good for slicing. Overall I would say its a good advanced beginner - intermediate racket, but a better one should be bought.

Yep, the TT Scream. Now use it with Head Synthetic Gut PPS 17 strung @ 28kg (2 piece). Still offers great control, touch and enough power to keep me playing better than most. I've put the O3 away in its cover for good - too muted with no touch or feel. The Head I use as a backup stick - not bad with more power than the Scream OS, nice and light but still not the all round control and feel of the Scream.

Comments: I played college tennis 15 years ago and quit afterward. I recently got back into the game and bought the Scream because it was a demo. It was the first light weight racket I had used as the old ones were much heavier. I love it. The weight of the racket and stiffness allow for hard backhand slices and big spinning serves and forehands. The power level is good for those who need to temper hard strokes with control. At the net, it lacked enough power to keep your volleys in when your opponent is a power player. The weight also allows you to "wrist" shots at the last second like topspin lobs or drop shots. I would suggest this racket to players of all levels that have power to spare.

Comments: When I first learned to play tennis, I was just using demos with no real concern as to how they affected my play. Then one Christmas mom got me this one, and I fell in love with it immediately. It let me get a lot of spin and power on the ball. It does vibrate, but that helped me improve my arm strength. Even now in my tennis class, I am the most offensive player with a lot of power. With this racquet I get lots of power along with good spin/control. Also it's extended reach lets me get to balls better, and I can get great spin on serves. I love this racquet and would never use a different one. I highly recommend it.

Comments: Very nice racquet. I tried to move "up" to the Prince O3 Hornet and O3 Scream but the new swing weight does not feel the same. The first racquet put in my hand was a Prince classic, followed by prince pro and then a prince graphite. The O3 line does not have the same feel as the traditional prince racquets and I was hitting a lot of balls wide due to the racquet coming around sooner. The Scream feels great for adding spin and I actually can handle pace a lot easier with this racquet. I also like how it feels at the net. I really hope they do not stop making this racquet.

Comments: Finding the right racquet has always been difficult for me. My forehand is long and fast, but my backhand is compact and moderate-speed. This racquet is so versatile that it works well for me on both sides. The spin-friendly 16x19 string pattern adds great top-spin for my fast forehands, while the oversize head and thick beam has just enough power to propel my compact backhand shots. Although it does vibrate somewhat, this only seems to add a bit more feel to my game (plus, a vibration dampener should be enough to cancel it). On top of all this, the TT Scream is very maneuverable. Impressive racquet for an impressive price.

Comments: I bought this racquet as my first adult-sized racquet four years ago when I was 10 years old because two of my friends had it. At that point, I didn't really care how it performed. I felt that it was the ideal racquet to get the hang of the game. Spin is pretty accessible, and there is a lot of control. However, the racquet lacked the amount of "pop" that I wanted. Because I am still building my strength, I decided that I needed a stronger racquet. I was never really able to master overheads, and my volleys were very weak. The Scream is great for beginners wishing to improve fast, but ever since I started playing three to four times a week, I decided that I needed a new racquet. I got the Babolat Pure Drive Roddick, which has a lot of extra power. The Scream was a great starter for me, but in order for me to advance even more, I needed to buy a stronger racquet.

Comments: This racquet is really easy to spin serves and volley with. And the strings that came with the racquet feel great for topspin. But I'm not crazy about it for groundstrokes. And I do feel a lot of shock in my arm and shoulder too. It could be that I'm not used to such a light racquet, my old racquet was Prince Graphtech DB 90, and it had a built in double bridge to dampen the frame and strings.

I've been playing the game for 30 years, starting out with wood racquets, then to the heavy racquets like the Wilson T2000-T3000, then to graphite/ fiberglass. This racquet offers plenty of control and power. It seems to feel comfortable in your hands at the net for crisp volleys. I recently bought the new Prince 03 Hybrid Hornet thinking I needed to update my "technology", but there was no comparison in the two racquets in terms of keeping the ball in play and the nice clean shots my "old" triple threat delivered. After about 6 weeks of trying out the "new" technology, I went back to my triple threat and tossed the Hybrid Hornet for good.

Then I moved on to Prince Beast and found my shots going deeper. I tried my Scream for some varsity challenge matches last season while my Beast was getting restrung and found myself in marathon matches due to the fact I couldn't get the ball deeper. Good control and very light weight, but not very aggressive at the baseline.

Comments: Without doubt the best racquet I've ever used and I've played competition tennis for 35 years. Needs a vibration dampener to quiet the ping, but there is no vibration transmitted to the arm. With just a touch of topspin on groundies combined with the even balance of this frame is enough to hit controlled, penetrating shots. Good punch at the net and the light weight/even balance of the frame makes this a very maneuverable racquet. I had a good hit with the Prince O3 Red last week, and in all honesty, the TT Scream OS at over 3 years since it was introduced simply feels better to play with.

Comments: I am a 15 year old who is the #1 player from my high school. I got this racquet when I was about 12. Then, I was a lot smaller and weaker and not nearly as good of a tennis player. That was when I really loved this racquet, but now since I'm older, I want a more powerful racquet like a Babolat Pure Drive Plus. Even though I win pretty much all my matches, I want to go farther in my game. My main problem with this racquet is that I don't get enough pop on my serve or power on my groundies. I'm sure this racquet would be great for a younger, intermediate player but if you still own this racquet as an advanced player, I suggest something like Andre Agassi's, Roddick's, or even Coria's racquet.

Comments: I demoed the Midplus and it was way too stiff, but the control and pop were great, so I demoed the Oversize. The Oversize wasn't as stiff, but it still hit a tad too jarringly for my taste. The control was still there and the pop was even better. The demo had Kevlar strings on it, and I know from experience that Kevlar plays 5 times harsher than nylon strings. So I took a chance and invested a few bucks in a used TT OS Scream and strung it with Wilson NXT 16. WOW, what a difference; soft ride, great control, and super pop. I now own three TT OS Screams. One is strung with Prince Original Synthetic Gut 16, one with Wilson NXT 16, and one with Gosen OG Sheep Super Micro 17. These three strings are the best I've found (so far) for the TT OS Scream and I am leaning toward the Gosen 17 as my string of choice.
