Prince Squash Rackets
Buy a Prince squash racket: the Power Ring gives every racket a feel of its own
Looking for a Prince squash racket? At Squashpoint you'll find the current Prince Pro series: the Prince Hyper Pro 550, Prince Vortex Pro 650 and Prince Phoenix Pro 750. Prince has been active in squash for almost forty years and is known for technology you can feel in every shot. The best-known example is the Power Ring, the ring in the throat of the racket that the main strings run into. It makes a Prince squash racket play differently from any other brand: longer strings, a larger sweet spot and a recognisable, powerful feel on the ball. Buying a Prince squash racket means choosing a brand with a character of its own – and you notice that from the very first ball.
Prince squash rackets: the brand of Peter Nicol and Ramy Ashour
Few brands have a player list as impressive as Prince. Peter Nicol, former world number 1 and world champion, played with a Prince squash racket for years and built his accurate, tactical game on the brand's control and stability. Ramy Ashour, three-time world champion and for many the most talented squash player ever, won his biggest titles with Prince. His explosive volleys, inimitable wristwork and attacking game showed just how much speed and power a Prince frame holds. Two completely different playing styles, one shared choice: Prince.
What is the Prince Power Ring?
The Power Ring is the most distinctive technology in Prince squash rackets. It is a ring in the throat of the racket, just above the handle. On a regular squash racket the main strings end at the bottom of the head, each in its own string hole. On a Prince squash racket with Power Ring, the main strings continue down into the ring. That has three benefits:
- Longer main strings of equal length – the strings flex further and the power is spread evenly across the whole string bed. You get more ball speed with less effort.
- Larger sweet spot – even a ball you hit slightly off-centre leaves the strings with power and control.
- Stiffer, more durable frame – the throat needs no grommets and the ring reinforces the frame, so the head deforms less on impact.
The result is the typical Prince feel: a lively string bed that launches the ball like a catapult, combined with a stable frame that gives clear feedback on every shot. Players who have played with the Power Ring once recognise that feel straight away – and it is the main reason so many squash players stay loyal to their Prince squash racket.
TeXtreme Gen Z: the latest material in the Prince Pro series
The Prince Pro series is built with TeXtreme Gen Z, the latest generation of the carbon Prince uses in its top rackets. In TeXtreme, the carbon fibres lie flat and straight next to each other instead of being woven. That means less material is needed for the same stiffness: the frame becomes lighter and more torsionally stable, deforms less on impact and returns its energy to the ball faster. In TeXtreme Gen Z the carbon is reinforced with Zylon fibres, which makes the frame even more responsive. Prince has also made the head sturdier in this generation, so the frame copes better with contact with the wall and the floor. For you that means: a Prince squash racket that feels light and fast, hits accurately and lasts.
Which Prince squash racket suits you?
The Prince Pro series consists of three rackets, all three with the Power Ring. The number in the name is the power level: the higher the number, the more power the racket generates by itself.
- Prince Hyper Pro 550 (120 gram frame, 464.5 cm² head, 16x17 string pattern, head heavy) – the lightest and most control-oriented Prince squash racket. Best suited to the quick, technical player who sets the pace from the T, takes the volley early and brings their own power.
- Prince Vortex Pro 650 (125 gram frame, 16x17 string pattern, even balance) – the all-rounder of the Pro series. The Air Handle with air chambers in the handle dampens vibrations. Best suited to the versatile player who wants power and precision in balance, with plenty of comfort.
- Prince Phoenix Pro 750 (130 gram frame, 484 cm² head, 14x15 string pattern) – the most powerful Prince squash racket. The Power Bite frame with its open string pattern gives extra power and more bite on the ball, while the Air Handle keeps it comfortable. Best suited to the attacking player who puts opponents under pressure from the back corners.
