If you have enough hitting time in your game, you might not want to change. For those of you with less than 10,000 hour< read the book Outliers for my choice of that number, it might be too hard to go to something that increases swing speed.
Pay no attention to the "unless it's a 15 to 25 year old frame it sucks" cult around here. They are wannabe pro's. As far as I know not too many real touring pro's post on these boards.

If he really wanted tpo know why the holes exist in the prince frames he can go to their website.

couldnt agree more meaghan - there are still haters out there who are just scared of any real, unique change in a racket - same type of person who probably hated on the move from wood to aluminum or aluminum to graphite! ha! then years later go, oh yeah, i was always for it! its leaders (visionaries)vs. followers! Exo Rebel=trampoline? um, yeah, right.

I agree completely. Sure the technology might be disliked but in my opinion its one of the best technology's introduced by a company. Also, funnily enough, the technology works unlike most other racket companys.

I used to play with the o3 sp pro white mp it felt way to dead for me. I also tried my friends rebel and it also had this dead feeling. I recently switched to the diablo mid and IMHO it is amazing!!!

I'm not dissing the ports i just didn't notice a difference between the swingspeed of a racquet with and without ports... plus like i said, ports make the string bed feel dead.

I like some of the Speedport/Oport frames, but I always wonder why Prince can't make both the port frames and traditional frames.

Speedsport holes are not going to be a novel idea forever (like OS heads).
