{"title":"Prince Squash Rackets","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"product\"\u003eBuy a Prince squash racket: the Power Ring gives every racket a feel of its own\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLooking 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003ePrince squash rackets: the brand of Peter Nicol and Ramy Ashour\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFew 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003eWhat is the Prince Power Ring?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe 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:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLonger main strings of equal length\u003c\/strong\u003e – the strings flex further and the power is spread evenly across the whole string bed. You get more ball speed with less effort.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarger sweet spot\u003c\/strong\u003e – even a ball you hit slightly off-centre leaves the strings with power and control.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStiffer, more durable frame\u003c\/strong\u003e – the throat needs no grommets and the ring reinforces the frame, so the head deforms less on impact.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003eTeXtreme Gen Z: the latest material in the Prince Pro series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003eWhich Prince squash racket suits you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Prince Pro series consists of three rackets, all three with the Power Ring.

With a frame weight of 130 grams (150 grams unstrung), a generous 484 cm² head and a balance of 363 mm, this racket sits stable in your hand and gives you an extra dose of speed on every shot. The power level of 750 says it all: this is the model in the Prince range that lets you put your opponent under pressure from the back corner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Power Bite frame is the engine behind the Prince Phoenix Pro 750. The re-engineered frame combines an open 14x15 string pattern with a solid construction, so you get more power from the back of the court while gaining more grip – 'bite' – on the ball. The Power Ring in the throat of the frame creates longer main strings of uniform length, so power is spread evenly across the entire string bed. And because the throat is grommetless, the racket gains extra stiffness and durability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePower is worth nothing if your arm gives up after a long rally. That is why the Prince Phoenix Pro 750 comes with the Air Handle: air chambers in the handle that absorb vibration and shock before they reach your hand. The result is a clean, comfortable feel, even on hard volleys and long drives into the back corner. So you keep hitting just as sharply in the fifth game as in the first.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Prince Phoenix Pro 750 suits advanced and ambitious squash players who play an attacking game and want to pair power with precision. The large head enlarges the sweet spot and forgives a shot that is not timed perfectly, while the 130-gram weight lets the racket swing through freely. If you are looking for a racket that brings power, bite and comfort together in one frame, the Prince Phoenix Pro 750 is the logical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prince","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54058483155272,"sku":"7S637905","price":119.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/2711\/3032\/files\/PrincePhoenixPro750.webp?v=1789381396"},{"product_id":"prince-vortex-pro-650","title":"Prince Vortex Pro 650","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"product\"\u003ePrince Vortex Pro 650\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prince Vortex Pro 650 is the racket for squash players who put speed and feel ahead of raw power.
