Easy power meets luxurious comfort
Prince adds another chapter to O3 Legacy 105. Weighted for intermediate players, this racquet is not only great for singles, but it will supercharge your doubles game. Like previous generations, this racquet not only delivers easy power and high comfort, but it also offers enough spin to bring the ball down hard. With its slightly extended length (27.25"), the Legacy O3 105 offers a little extra momentum and pop than its standard length counterparts. Technologies include an AntiTorque System at 10/2 o'clock in the hoop, which combines TexTreme (a thin carbon layer that enhances feel and stability) with Zylon, a synthetic polymer that further enhances stability without compromising maneuverability. The signature technology remains Prince's time-tested O3 Port System, a grommetless construction that not only allows the strings to absorb and transfer greater energy to the ball, but also provides an extremely plush and low-vibration hitting experience. With subtle tweaks to the feel, the 03 Legacy 105 remains a great option for the intermediate player who craves easy power and spin. Did we mention the comfort?

Prince Legacy 105I have been looking for a new racquet for a long time. I am a 75 year old 4.0 who returned from two years off due to injury. I had been playing with a Wilson ultra 108 for a few years. I wanted a new racquet with similar swing characteristics a bit more power and more comfort. I do not have enough space to list all the racquets I tried. They include some 120's, including the Prince Legacy but they did not work for me because I did not hit the sweet spot consistently despite the size. I focused on 105's +/- and bought this 105. I strung it with my regular multi string Wilson NXT 16 at 53, bottom of the range. I have played 15-20 times with it and am quite happy. A bit more power and spin than my Wilson and definitely more comfort. Very similar swing characteristics at least for me. So far it ticks all the boxes. I think it is a niche racquet and I am glad I found it.
Great racquet!This racquet is not only powerful but also arm-friendly. I am a doubles player, and I love the power and the maneuverability at the net.
Great feel and also easy powerI love this Prince legacy 105! I'm 55, 4.0 player and I love the easy power on serves and also groundstrokes! This is a very comfortable racquet, no shoulder or elbow issues. I can absorb big serves also as the returner and be aggressive from the baseline. Good put away power on volleys and overheads! I highly recommend this prince!
Great racquet. Better than my old O3 red andLifelong Prince player from the Original Synergy DB 26 in the 90s to all the iterations of that style of racquet. When my O3 reds were cracking after years of use, I needed to get something new, so I got a Prince Beast, and that one was okay, but last year I tried one of these Legacy 105. My buddies noticed increased power, and some of them even joked I should go back to my old racquet to make things fair. I now have 3 Legacy 105 racquets because I was afraid they would stop making them (like the Nike Vapor 9.5 and X) and I’d be stuck with something else. I would highly recommend this racquet. I’m a 4.5 player who hits with a lot of spin and control, but I can pop some pace if needed with this racquet. Hope you like it as much as I do. In fact, I gotta go to my doubles match right now!
really like itI don't like demoing racquets so I took a chance on this one. I Like it. It has similar feel to my EXO3 and O3 speed port.
Legacy still has it!I like this racquet a lot — perfect for my game (4.0, 64 y/o). The light weight and larger sweet spot work for me (I add a bit of weight at 3 & 9 for enhanced stability). I also play with a much older version of the Legacy 105… enjoy playing with both of these solid racquets. I’ve been a fan of Prince for decades.
Prince Legacy 105I am a senior player who was rated at 4.5 when the USTA was doing the ratings. I enjoyed a lot of success at the club level, but now at 82, I need a lighter, more powerful racquet. With the Prince 105 I can swing through the ball faster and thus I am meeting the ball a little earlier. This racquet allows me to use my various strokes and spins and provides the power to compete with younger players. Having tested quite a few different racquets, the Prince Legacy 105 meets all my requirements. I heartily recommend it.
ExcellentI'm a senior doubles 3.5 player. This racquet is comfortable and powerful. I string with a 17 guage poly (Kirschbaum evolution or Solinco round) at 44 pounds. I have more "feel" for shots than with any racquet I've used and I've been playing since the 1970's. If you want spin or power, the racket can deliver.

Feels like I’m hitting the ball with my handThis racquet does what the old model didn’t do for me. It feels more comfortable. It’s like butter in my hands it has the power I want at a tension of 58. I used to us the Prince 107 classic graphite original until tore up my shoulder had a Librium tear. I used the Blue O3 110 for a while. Didn’t have the control I like but did what I needed while I was trying to recover. This gives me the power and touch and feels smooth and is so comfortable. I initially only bought one, then I bought three after beating two people that I had not beaten for four years and I mean I did it with confidence and it was not close.
