Prince Ripstick 98
Overview
New to the Ripstick family for 2025, the Ripstick 98 offers an irresistible combination of power and precision. Boasting a surgical 98in² head and 16x18 string pattern, this stick will give you the needed spin-potential to target the lines. It also comes with a fairly hefty swingweight, which provides impressive stability against big hitters while also providing massive power on full cuts. This racquet's comfortable feel comes in no small part from the large O-Ports that surround the hitting area, a feature that not only produces a more plush and powerful string bed, but also creates less wind-drag for easier acceleration. It also has Prince's newly updated Anti-Torque System, which combines Textreme and Zylon in key locations to minimize frame wobble and power loss on off-center impact. Ultimately, this is a great option for the player who wants a precise and powerful racquet with a plush feel at impact.
