Is Maria Sharapova using the Speedport Black?
Does anyone Know if its the speedport or just another paintjob?

It looked like a new Prince racquet. I think it could have been an exo3 with a paintjob.

 This doesn't look like a speedport. Look at the outside of the racket. There are no big holes and no 'insets' either. It is not the White for sure. It doesn't look like the EXO neither. |

May or may not be an SP Black. I'd probably say yes though... she switched about the time she got injured.
You can see lead tape at 3X9 though. |

It's most likely her prince 03 white with a paint job. look at how wide the frame is...
I used the prince 03 white before and that picture looks about it. The speedport black is a lot thinner in the beam.

Yeah that's her prince 03 white.
It would be dumb to switch, since that racquet is really arm friendly already, she's used to it, and has had phenomenal results with it.

^^^Yes, they look very similar. She is using different strings now? Is it a full gut job?

Sharapova has definitely switched to the Speedport Black.

Maria's new racket.
The racket she is using is a new experimental frame. Prince is going to phase out the o series and go back to the standard grommets. This frame she is using is one of those frames. I have already seen the version of the new frames.

^^^Yup. Agreed. I was watching one of her matches the other day on one of those sick 55 inch led TV's and you could clearly see the Head Butt Cap.
As always, you the man!!
