The O3 Hybrid Hornet is one of Prince’s most versatile frames. Their second-generation Hybrid series incorporates more conventional grommets to give the racquet a firmer feel. It builds upon the O3 technology, which increases the racquet’s sweet spot and swing speed by drilling O-Ports around the frame.

The O3 Hybrid Hornet’s versatile frame makes it play exceptionally well all over the court. From the baseline, the racquet’s light weight, aerodynamics and oversized head increases your swing speed and control. The larger sweet spot makes this racquet extremely forgiving on miss-hits. Its lightweight gives you the ability to put power into your serves, and its maneuverability, thanks to the O-Port technology, has great capabilities for heavy spin serves. This racquet’s maneuverability comes in handy at the net too, as it makes reacting to hard hit passing shots easier. When hitting overheads, I found that I was able to drive through the ball, getting that extra pop and enough spin to get the ball past my opponent.

The O3 Hybrid Hornet is a great racquet for intermediate players with moderate swing speeds looking for an easier racquet to swing.
