Strung with Babolat Synthetic Gut 16g with minimal notching, currently at 48 lbs tension.The excitement and buzz about the Prince Tour Diablo racquets started before anyone outside of Prince even knew what these racquets would be called. We first got a glimpse of a Tour Diablo in the more than capable hands of WTA Tour star Jennifer Capriati as she blitzed her way through the draw at the 2003 US Open. Painted all black, and with the simple words "Experimental" emblazoned on the side of the frame, tennis fans and racquet gurus were freeze-framing their TV screens, trying to get a closer look at this mysterious racquet. Questions about the all black racquets quickly started to brew throughout the tennis community. Within days, the phones at Tennis Warehouse started to ring and our Talk Tennis message board started to receive more and more questions about the Experimental racquets. Die-hard Prince fans wanted to know things like: What is the frame composition? What are the specs? What will the racquets finally look like? When will the racquets be released? When can we get demos?On January 16th, just three days before the start of the 2004 Australian Open, Prince provided its final answer. On the Prince Web site, the final look and specifications for the Tour Diablo racquets were revealed. What we learned was that the Prince Tour Diablo is available in two head sizes. The Tour Diablo Mid features a 93 sq. inch head and is 27" long, while the Midplus has a 100 sq. inch head and is 27.25" long.Capriati, currently using the Tour Diablo Mid, was quoted on the Prince Web site as saying, "from its performance to its looks and name, I absolutely love the Diablo. The racquet feels great in your hands and gives groundstrokes an incredibly smooth feel. Also, I love knowing that I can direct the ball where I want and can also put enough pace on it to end the point with a clean winner."Technical Specifications Length 27 inches 69 centimeters Head Size 93 square inches 600 square centimeters Weight 12.2 ounces 346 grams Balance Point 12.375 inches
