Heavier racket for a slower game, powerful and with a solid control – both accurate drops and powerful strokes from the back of the court are not a problem.
Reviews:
In 2014 Prince upgraded the EXO3 Pro Tour squash racket into their new lineup. It didn’t change much, the EXO3 technology (allowing strings to move more freely and increasing the size of the sweet spot) and power ring (long strings with more uniform length) remained.
Prince introduced a new power rating and the Tour got 850 – so it offers a bit less power than the Rebel 950, it’s also slightly heavier and balanced more toward the center (but still head heavy).
And in 2016 a new color scheme appeared (so just a cosmetic upgrade).
the 2016 version
In their reviews, players mentioned you can feel the larger weight but don’t notice it when playing – and with the head heavy balance it offers a lot of power for deep shots. Plus the hits are nice and smooth. On the other hand, it seems there’s a slight lack of control on the shots where you don’t have much time to prepare.
So like it predecessor, it favors a slower game, aggressive players will probably find it too heavy and cumbersome.
