While it may be impossible to successfully list all the positive changes Prince has made to his own racquets and subsequently to squash racquet development in general, these are some of the most notable milestones;
1988: ‘The Extender’ – Prince designers remove the throat bridge that allows the main strings to be extended with the added bonus of lighter fame leading to lightweight stem.
1995: ‘Thunderlite’ – Sweet spot is widened with Sweet Spot suspension system, which raises the sweet spot and reduces vibration.
2003: More Prince revolution with the introduction of a holeless racquet. This was achieved by molding 2 frames together and forming a structurally superior racquet for unprecedented power, control and strength.
Other highlights from the last 10 years include more proprietary technology that has reduced drag, increased sweet spot, power and control, and improved frame integrity while reducing vibration.
In the modern game, an incredible number of top professional players use Prince squash rackets. These include James Willstrop, Saurav Ghosal, and Peter Nicol (MBE). These players, along with many others, use the Prince EXO3 Rebel, described as a racquet that offers lightweight power, a superior sweet spot, and unique maneuverability for precision shots. In the hands of many of the best professionals it has to be without a doubt one of the best squash rackets in current production.
