The Park Tennis Take
Prince has been around long enough that somebody on the next court either played with one, owned one, or still has one in the basement with a grip slowly turning to dust. The Ripstick is Prince doing what Prince does best: making a racquet that looks a little unusual and makes tennis feel a little easier. It helps the ball get deep, gives you plenty of spin, and moves quickly when the rally gets hectic. The feel from those big port holes will not be everyone's cup of Gatorade, but if you want something lively, comfortable, and genuinely fun, this is a terrific racquet to take for a spin.
