Because I think she is trying to help her shoulder and elbow. She had not played any tournament from when she lost in Indian Wells until the Italian Open because of a injured elbow.

Prince Tennis: We've answered this in a few other posts too. Maria has actually agreed to engage in pioneering a new product development program with us that will have her playtesting some frames over the next few months in practice and actual matches, to help us develop potential future offerings. This may even include some frames not currently in the Prince line. That is all part of our program with her and we are excited to see the data it provides.
================================================
So Sharapova can play whatever she wants til she finds what she likes and then Prince will retro-engineer it...???

Seems like there are a few possible scenarios playing out here. ... 1) maria doesn't like the prince rackets, 2) maybe they cause her the arm/elbow/shoulder problems, 3) prince hasn't been paying her and is just saying that

If the resulting Prince racquet is relatively flexible, around 100 sq in, and has normal grommets, count me in!

They don't need to pay her millions, i'd test racquets for them for a modest salary. Plus i could lose in the first round of tournaments too. All without a bloodcurdling scream.

I am totally behind Sharapova's move here. Since the o3 white came out and was dropped too quickly for the classic it was, I haven't come across ANY of the speedports or exo's that swing the same. Prince messed up her arm with their moneygrabs and dropped a beautiful frame that was working VERY well. I hope she does switch companies and go on to win TONS of majors.

Prince didn't mess up her arm...she did. In case you didn't notice, she swings as hard as she can at every single ball.

She's played with a stiff racquet her whole careeer...why would a stiff racquet bother her now?

I hope that her "testing" is truly just testing...
