Product Description The Prince Thunder Rip is the latest in a line of power racquets (original Prince Triple Threat Rip, Prince Viper, Prince Sovereign) from Prince. The Thunder Rip packs quite a wallop in terms of performance and features. Based on the very popular Triple Threat Rip introduced in 1999, the Thunder Rip is a more maneuverable and more comfortable version thanks to the Air Handle technology that absorbs 25% more shock than conventional handle systems. A power level of 1200 insures there will be plenty of punch thanks to a superoversize head, Longbody length and very firm stiffness. The solid feel of the Thunder Rip is better than ever thanks to Princes popular Sweet Spot Suspension System which increases sweet spot size and damps string vibrations.

Customer Reviews:
Great beginner/intermediate racquetMay 22, 2007 Paid ~$86 for the racquet, pre-installed strings, and shipping. Fast ~3day shipping. Love this racquet. Nice large head with good tension. My serve and forehand were instantly better. Grip was nice too...i just had to add more girth to it b/c it was a little too thin. Bottomline: for the price, u just can't beat it.
