The Hornet is Prince’s most versatile frame; and with the application of O3 Hybrid Technology, the O3 Hybrid Hornet is the perfect tennis racquet for aspiring competitive players. Prince has maintained the incredibly light weight maneuverability of the Hornet; but accentuated the racquet’s forgiveness of off-center shots by expanding the sweet spot with O3 Engineering. The O3 Hybrid Hornet just captured the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture Award for its phenomenal design.

The redefining O3 tennis racquet technology has replaced traditional pin-sized string holes with revolutionary giant O-Port technology, a super aerodynamic frame has been created with a more responsive stringbed. This increases the sweet spot by 54%, creating a Sweet Zone, which means you hit your best shots more often. O-Ports reduce aerodynamic drag, producing a faster swing speed, enabling players to reach more balls and win more points, more often. A faster swing speed means increased power and maximum maneuverability.

O3 Hybrid Hornet

User: nick, michigan

I thought that this racquet was a great racquet for starting tennis players. If you are looking for a racquet that gives the right amount of power and a great feel, this is what youre looking for. It is a little head heavy but that is the type of racquet that I like to play with. When you are using the hornet you will get a great feel when you hit the ball. Serving wise it is also a racquet that I would recomend. Overall I was happy with hornet and I would recomend it to anyone looking for a prince racquet.

Very great racket!

User: Kevin, CA

This racket ranks up as one of the best. Groundstrokes, I would give a 5/5; however, sometimes you can't hit as deep as you would like. For serving, I would give a 4/5 as well because there is not enough power, but very consistent. For volleys, it would be a solid 4/5. Overall 5/5.

Hornet is a good name

User: Mark, texas

Im a 4.0 player and started using this racket 3 months ago.For $99 bucks it's a super racket with great power and control. Great for a baseliner or a serve and net play guy. Head size is perfect, not too big and not too small for all types of play. Try it before you spend twice as much for another racket.

Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet

I like the raquet, but it has its problems. It doesn't seem to be able to reach out to those far volleys and high overheads. But it does great on ground strokes. It also does good at the net as long as the ball is close and not far out. I think it works good though and will keep using it.
