Gamit ko ngayon is Prince Precision Response Titanium, yung gamit ni P. Rafter before, 97 sq inch at 12oz weight. I have settled to it and use it as my main racket for it suits my playing style though I only had 1 pc. Since medyo luma na at hirap na makahanap ng extra, I'm planning to upgrade for a new racket.

Anyone tried the said racket? Anung model kaya ngaun ang kaparehas nya? thanks..

it's a frame that has been discontinued. can't say much about it. you should check the reviews on TW. since you are looking to upgrade. perhaps the prince Exo ignite or the rebel . also you might want to consider the exo graphite 100. those 3 rackets i have demoed them personally. but i still like the exo graphite. your pro shop should have frames that you can playtest before you buy.

gusto mo bilin mo ung raketa ko,pat. rafter din. pero ung ginamit niya after ma discontinue ung prince precision titanium. mas magaan nga lang to(318g) tsaka 71 ang stiffness. 1k price ko.

thanks junbug for your inputs.
melted.. seems different ang specs nya sa PRTi, any idea or info if they will play the same?

wala nang 97 sq. in. frame. you should move up to a 100. (the graphite) or the 95. (rebel or ignite). string it with multifilament strings. stay away from the hybrid unless you have the arm strength to swing aggressively. but great for control.

This is a 1999 model. As far as specs are concerned, the closest Prince racket to it is the Ozone Tour.  See comparative specs below (strung):

Response Ti:
97 sq in, 330g, 65 RDC flex, 319 kg/cm2 swingweight, 7.2 pts headlight, 16x20

Ozone Tour:
100 sq in, 330g, 62 RDC flex, 326 kg/cm2 swingweight, 6.7 pts headlight, 16x18


Being 10+ yrs old, the Response would have lost a few flex points. My guess is that the current actual flex of the Response will be around 60-62. A 7-pt difference in swingweight should be negligible, and so is the difference in balance. The Ozone will have a bit more power, though, because of the slightly larger head and more open string pattern. However, these differences should not drastically affect your strokes and/or game.

As far as upgrading to other rackets, I suggest you pay special attention to the flex and swingweight of the racket being considered or playtested. Flex communicates feel and swingweight can affect the dynamics of your stroke.

Good luck on your search.

Hi guys, I tried the k six on tour US ver., played w/ it this past 3 weeks and found that it also match my playing style. It is very stable and had served me well on baseline and volley but I didn't quite like it during serves, as compared to the PRTi. Perhaps it is due to the armed poly gut tensioned at 60 lbs. I may have to replace it w/ synthetic and lower to 57 and feel for any difference. Nevertheless, I think I will consider this as the permanent replacement of may racket.

Thanks to all the feedback..

If you need K61 tour just call me. Sorry about the KBlade tour, I did not know that it was sold already.
