Prince is a key sponsor of the U.S. Squash Association with a regular presence at many of the national events across the country, Prince is also supported by some of the top players and coaches in the U.S. including:

Product Innovations

Prince’s industry leading R&D department has revolutionized the game of squash by dictating how all racquets are designed and constructed today. Some of the key frame technology introductions are:

1993 - Extender Lite 180, 185, 190: A radical shaped series of Extender racquets with a straight teardrop shape and 10 main strings to achieve the fastest racquet in the game.

1994 - CTS Extender Elite II: Another light weight milestone was achieved becoming one of the most popular Prince models of all time.

1995 - ThunderLite: Sweet spot is expanded and vibration reduced by incorporating the popular Sweet Spot Suspension System.

1996 - Duralite/Wallbanger: Another first for Prince – the first squash racquets with an impact absorbing bumper, enhancing the durability of the frame.

1997 - Power Ring: Prince revolutionizes squash again with this new patented technology. By having the main strings wrap around an inverted ring in the throat, string bed resiliency is maximized resulting in unprecedented power.

1999 - Power Ring Ultralite Ti: Titanium reinforcement is achieved in a super lightweight of 135 grams, and combined with Power Ring technology

2000 - TT Ring: Triple Threat, a unique weight distribution system incorporating carbon-copper-titanium in three strategic locations, improves the stability of the racquet resulting in an expanded sweet spot in all directions.

2003 - More Technology: Prince revolutionizes squash again by introducing a racquet with no drilled holes! This breakthrough achievement includes molding two separate frames together forming the most superior racquet construction ever for unprecedented power, control and frame strength.

2005 - O3 Technology: Large O-ports at 12, 3 and 9 o’clock locations of the frame significantly reduce aerodynamic drag increasing swing speed by 24% and increasing sweet spot size by up to 59%.

2008 - O3 Speedport: Taking O3 technology to a new level with rectangular shaped ports for greater power and racquet maneuverability.

1988 - Extender: By removing the throat bridge from a traditional racquet head design, main strings are extended and frame weight is reduced for unprecedented lightweight power.

1989 - CTS Extender: The Extender concept is improved with the Constant Taper System (CTS), a new beam design with a wider cross section at the tip, tapering to a narrower dimension in the throat. CTS expanded the sweet spot toward the tip, a critical area for squash players since so many balls hit close to the wall

1991 - Extender OS: Prince breaks the headsize barrier again with the maximum headsize allowed in the game, providing players with maximum power and sweet spot size.

Prince is also extremely involved in driving and supporting the youth movement that is occurring in squash. We are a proud supporter of some of the top college programs in the sport.

BIGGERSWEET SPOT,MORE POWER.

IT’S ALL

IN THE

Prince racquets, including the new Rebel

and Ignite, are not like traditional racquets. They’ve been

engineered around a series of unique holes in the frame

that extend the sweet spot and make the racquet more

aerodynamic, generating more power. But you won’t just

see a difference, you’ll feel it too. Because of the advanced

engineering, these racquets are deceptively powerful, with their

own unique feel. All part of our 40-year history of helping you

hit your best shots, more often.
