The Prince Ripcord is a newer addition to the Prince tennis racquet lineup and is a wonderful frame for intermediate players moving up from a light racquet to something heavier. What really stands out about this racquet is the 61 stiffness/flex rating, uncommonly low for a racquet at this weight. What this means is that it'll be softer and friendlier to your arm. As with Prince's premium performance frames, this stick has ATS Technology, which places Textreme and Twaron at 10 & 2 o’clock in the upper hoop. The upshot is less racquet twisting at impact, resulting in a more powerful and stable hitting experience. Aside from exceptional performance, the Ripcord has a sharp look and the price just can't be beaten.
