Product Description New for 2006, the The Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet Mid Plus makes use of O-Ports at 12:00 and 6:00 only. This still generates a lively response, but with more control than Prince's original O3 racquets (which featured O-Ports at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00.)
With a 100 square inch head size and a Prince Power Level of 925, the O3 Hybrid Hornet Mid Plus is a more-controlled option to the O3 Red, O3 Blue and O3 Silver. Slightly more powerful than the Prince O3 Tour. Nicely damped feel, with a generous sweetspot and very maneuverable at the net as well. Overall, the O3 Hybrid Hornet should prove to be one of the best all-around tweener racquets for an intermediate to advanced player with a moderate to fast swing speed.
Great Tennis RaquetSeptember 23, 2008 Excellent product and received the product quickly. Also the price was really good.
Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet Mid PlusAugust 26, 2008 I haven't used the racket enough yet to know its potential. At times, I get frustrated because it is too easy to swing and this results in errors. However, it is a great racket for defense...I never feel like I'm behind in a point.
best buyAugust 10, 2008 This racquet was a editor's choice from tennis mag so i bought it and love it. I am 50 yrs old, paid almnost $200 strung. saw it for $99 strung and jumped on it for my 10 yr old. 4 1/8 grip is perfect and really makes a huge difference. forget junior racquets for kids. just buy this one for an adult or a kid.
VERY NICE ! ! !July 10, 2008 I used to play with the prince graphite in high school and college and that was a great racquet. This racquet carries on the tradition. Not ultralight... definitely not heavy. Firm groundstrokes... solid racket for beginners on up!
Excellent racquet for beginner/adv beginnerMay 16, 2008 Pros: - This racquet makes my shots more controlled and easy to place - Good for both playing at the baseline or at the net - It has a huge sweet spot - Looks very sleek and futuristic
Cons: - Not as powerful as any head-heavy racquet (because its even balanced)
