I just finished my first series of tennis lessons for the summer (hoping to take some more next month). I’m a long ways from pro status (long, looong ways), but I have decided to spend the money to get a new tennis racket anyway. My old racket was purchased… well, it wasn’t in this decade. So, I’m taking a look at what’s out there. The Prince 0^3 Speedport looks really nice.
The racket uses a bit of new technology: it can be strung in two ways. Inserts change the size of the string holes, so you can choose small openings or wide ports. The wide ports dampen the vibration to create a wider sweet spot. The small openings mimc the responsiveness of a traditional racket.
The Speedport will cost ya $220 if you’re interested.

You should be able to find it online for under $200. Shop around and remember to pit these companies against each other as they generally have some sort of “lowest price guarantee”.
