Amazon.com Product Description
The success of Prince's O3 tennis racquets, which were engineered with unique O-ports to provide greater string freedom, led the company to introduce a matching line of squash racquets. The O3 Silver squash model features the same distinctive O-ports, which replace traditional pin-sized string holes to create a super aerodynamic frame with a more responsive stringbed. This in turn generates an extra-large Sweet Zone that's 54 percent bigger than a conventional racquet's sweet spot. As a result, you'll blast more powerful serves and hit more consistent shots, while also returning wide shots with authority. The O-ports also reduce aerodynamic drag to produce a faster swing speed, so players can reach more balls and win more points.

O3 racquets have a larger sweet spot and generate more speed than traditional racquets. O-ports increase the conventional sweet spot by 54 percent. Prince's Triple Threat Tungsten technology creates a phenomenally stable frame.

In addition, the O3 Silver racquet is equipped with a Triple Threat Tungsten frame, which places titanium, copper, carbon, and tungsten in three critical racquet locations: 10 o'clock, 2 o'clock, and at the bottom of the handle. This creates a phenomenally stable racquet design, which merges with the huge Sweet Zone to produce more power and precision than any Prince squash racquet before it. The concave Power Scoop shaft, meanwhile, absorbs more wall and floor impacts, providing greater comfort and durability while producing maximum striking power. Other details include an Air+ Comfort handle, which contains four air-filled quadrants that move independently for more shock absorption and grip ventilation; a red-cross dampener in the handle that quiets frame vibrations and produces more control; and a high-performance Wall Glider bumper, which offers a low-friction polymer to protect the frame.

Sincerely,

great raquet for a stable swing
i've been using this raquet about 1.5-2 years. i recommend replacing the stringing with either technifibre 18 or ashaway supernick xl micro, and also adding a karakal supergrip. you'll find the resulting raquet very stable, producing a very smooth swing with good power and control. i started using it at the recommendation of my squash coach, who thought it would help me with what had been a jerky motion.

Not for a serious player
I used it for like a month and it just broke from the right side. I didn't hit the wall or the floor. i have send the racquet back to prince and let's see if they cover it in warranty or not.
