Introducing the Ripcord 98 XS! With this new addition to the Ripcord family, Prince gives intermediate and advanced players the tools to hit heavy, spin-loaded balls that drop hard and explode off the court. Compared to the Ripcord 100 300g, this stick has a smaller head size, giving it the kind of accuracy that breeds confidence when the set score tightens. It also packs more mass, which helps keep the racquet steady when your opponent's pace goes up. Technologies include 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. The 98 XS also has a CTS Beam, which uses variable beam widths to balance feel and stability. Ultimately, this is a very impressive addition to the Ripcord line. Intermediate and advanced players looking for a powerful and spin-friendly weapon will love this one.
