How It Tested: With the addition of a longbody model, Prince has got most of its bases covered when it comes to its popular O3 Speedport Black frame. There�s a Team version for players who need a lighter, less demanding option and now this offering for those who prefer a half inch of extra length on their racquet. Indeed, if you�re not use to an extended racquet it does take some adjustment, particularly on ground strokes where some playtesters felt they were late on the ball. Once you dapt to the length control from the baseline does improve, although it�s not pinpoint. Still, the added leverage proved great for adding pop to serves and overheads, and reaching for stretch volleys. The large rectangular holes on the frame � Speedports � cut down on wind drag for enhanced swing speed and, by allowing more reedom for the strings, gives the frame a soft, deadened feel at impact. As with the other O3 Speedport Black racquets, the longbody version comes with String Hole Inserts (grommets, basically) that can be placed in the ports to give the racquet a more traditionally feeling stringbed, with heightened feedback.

Bottom Line: If you like longer racquets, or want to make the switch to one, this longbody offers plenty of pop and comfort
