Im loyal to EXO ports I dont see any advantage for Prince to sell traditional frames, as EXO port with "traditional string hole insert" is same!

Not exactly the same, but a nice compromise between ports/traditional.

Traditional frames could bring a larger audience to the brand, as many refused to like the ports.

Triple Threat was stopped due a lawsuit by Wilson saying it was too close to their Perimeter Weighting System. Doubt we'll see that again.

Really? I hadn't heard that. The new Wilson Steam S racquets totally copied Prince's racquet/marketing plan for this cycle. All is fair in love and war (tennis) I guess.

I doubt any company would "re-use" old marketing/technology strategies in terms of racquet design. They might include the idea, but they wouldn't base a whole line of technology that has come and gone.

Odd that these racquets are still for sale that use Triple Threat technology:

Prince Triple Threat Warrior

and here:
Prince Tour Diablo - which says it at on the racquet at those positions.

Seems like if there was a lawsuit they wouldn't still be selling these.
