Reviews:
In 2013 Prince released one of their best selling squash rackets of all time, the TT Airstick 130 (also used by World No.1 Ramy Ashour). It offers a nice combination of power and control but what users praise the most is its maneuverability. It’s light, very fast and enables quick reactions – an ideal racquet for an attacking player who does a lot of volleying. In this regard it’s quite similar to the Dunlop Biomimetic Evolution 130.
The sweet spot is nice and large, a bit higher because of the fan string pattern, balance and touch are also great.
It’s not as powerful as the Speedport Black or similar racquets but still offers a good power, enough to play from the back of the court effectively. The control and accuracy is on a solid level as well.
The only mentioned disadvantage is that (as most Prince top models) it’s a bit more brittle – but the lower price makes buying a replacement a lot less painful 🙂
