2019 Prince TEXTREME Beast O3 98 98inch 16*20 300g

This racquet sits in the modern control category and is designed around its primary performance strengths. The 98 in² head size prioritizes precision and cleaner contact. A stiffness rating of 71 RA results in a firmer, more responsive feel at impact. With an unstrung weight of 300 g, the frame adds stability through mass. The 16x20 string pattern (semi open) influences spin access and launch angle. Performance-wise, it scores 60/100 for power, 80/100 for spin, and 100/100 for control, outlining its on-court behavior. Its characteristics suggest a higher potential for arm fatigue if paired with stiff strings. It is best suited for intermediate players.

Player discussions around racquets with this profile tend to focus on how it behaves in real match conditions. Users often emphasize control and confidence on full swings, noting that clean contact is rewarded more than defensive play. A recurring theme is the potential for arm discomfort for sensitive players, depending on setup and hitting style. Overall, it is most often recommended by users for intermediate players.
