Vintage Prince Chang OS Longbody Racquet (5/8)
4.0
Overview
The Prince Michael Chang OS Longbody is one of the game's most iconic extended length racquets. At 28" long, it will give you extra momentum for crushing the ball. Players who can swing this stick fast will find dangerous levels of power and spin on groundstrokes and serves. In addition to being a rare collectible, this racquet provides an incredible hitting experience. The model we have has a very manageable swingweight for its length. It features the original factory string.

Customer Reviews
Full length S+V machine with good precisionBack in my third year of playing tennis I had to find a replacement for my broken (they found a production fault that caused it) Kneissl Toms Reach Machine. As you can see, I liked extended length racquets. Back then I was an almost 90% serve and volley player, with an extremely precise and quite spinny serve, but only average on power. The Prince in of itself is NOT a power racquet, more of a classic high control straight strike. A little spin serve and volley tool and GREAT for a fast two-handed backhand, especially full speed in a long line. It was however the first time I got tennis elbow, as I strung it with a Prince polyester at 27/28kg. It looks great and feels lighter than its swingweight, and I will forever be thankful for my uncle for presenting it to me on my birthday in 1998.
