REVIEW- With main strings that extend down into the throat, the Speedport Platinum caused a stir among players. The configuration is called the O3 Strung-Thru-Stringing system, and its purpose is to enlarge the racquet’s sweet spot. According to Prince, the extended strings, along with the grommet-less Speedport string holes, give the Platinum a 70 percent larger sweet spot than a traditional racquet. It certainly impressed players, as did the ample power. As long as you have a short or slow swing, you get reasonable control and stability. Adult beginners or accomplished seniors may find a lot to like here. And if it’s got too much pop, you can choose not to string the racquet through the throat, which reduces the hitting area from 125 square inches to 118 square inches and tones down the power, a nice customization option not normally found on a game-improvement frame.FEATURES- If they ranked racquets according to value, the Prince SpeedPort Platinum would rate near or at the top. It features Prince's full line of technologies:
SpeedPort Technology-
SpeedPort technology is based on an ingeniously simple idea. By replacing traditional pin-sized string holes with our massive SpeedPorts, Prince created a class of rackets that move through the air faster for increased power and greater control, increasing your sweet spot up to 70%.The bottom line is pretty darn simple too: you will hit your best shots. More often. Even faster.
Triple Threat construction- Triple braid of woven titanium, tungsten and carbon placed in three locations- 10, 2 o'clock and the bottom of handle. This creates a larger sweetspot and maximum stability for perfect power and control.
Longbody Technology- A term meaning any Prince racquet longer than the standard 27 inch length. Stretch racquets provide more power (leverage), extend reach, and provide better angles when serving.

CONDITION- NEW STRINGS Scrapes and scratches to fully intact bumper. Sides are in excellent condition with some scrapes,  scratches as shown. See pics. Overall in very good + condition. 4 3/8" grip size. Newly strung with Luxilon Big Banger polyester mains / Synthetic gut crosses. Grip in great condition.

Its light weight 9.5oz, super oversize head 125 sq in and 1/2 inch of extended length make it a natural choice for serve and volley players and doubles specialists, while the open 16x19 string pattern is ideal for topspin and slice shots. If you're an aggressive 3.0-4.5 all-court or serve and volleyer looking for a new stick with great maneuverability and unlimited power, at an incredible price, the Prince SpeedPort Platinum is hard to beat.
