All... just got my EXO3s a few weeks back and right now I'm loving Big Hitter Blue at 55#. Since all of the "Tours" have similar playability... what's your string and tension??

Weisscannon Scorpion 1.22 @ 52lbs, it plays great, the best setup that I have ever used.
Prince Natural Gut 16 (mains) @ 63 lbs, Prince Syn Gut Multi 16 (crosses) @ 63 lbs using string hole grommets.
Apple... do you need to use tubing in the top ports to prevent premature breakage?
i will probably get scorched for saying this but i feel big banger original is awesome in the exo tour, o3 tour, and exo graphite. these racquets are flexy and plush feeling and the BBO is a good contrast. Lately Beast has been my choice because of tension maintenance.
Nope, no tubing. Ironically, the syn gut mult crosses frays and breaks before the nat gut mains. Are you finding sharp edges/corners in your top ports? I noticed that the EXO3 Tour hole/port inserts are more flexible than other Prince hole/port inserts. This may be due to Prince claiming that the EXO3 Tour hole/port inserts are some new thermo material.
I would agree that the EXO3 top ports look like they're easier on the string.. though I haven't had problems with poly or nylon breaking at the top with any O port frame.
Never have tried gut in the Prince racquets so I was curious. How many hours do you get with each gut hybrid string job?
Any sort of poly in the low to mid 50s is good for the tour series of 03, EXO3 and Ozone (as well as Speedport) frames. I've used all kinds of poly strings, and I prefer those, since the frames were designed for people who swing fast and like to hit the crap out of the ball.
EXO3 Tour 16x18. Mains - Recoil @ 46#, Crosses - Beast @ 43#. 4.5 heavy spin player.
EXO3 Tour 16x18, hole grommets except top piece, strung with Weiss Cannon B5E @ 60lbs. Tension lost around 5-6 hours of used then broke at 8-10 hours.
Yes sir. +1
Recoil is a very underrated string and feels great with the exo3 series. Great spin and string movement... but no string re-shifting.
Port holes up top, string-hole inserts at 3&9, that's what I've decided feels best as well.
Any poly at low tensions will feel good in these soft frames. I loved LuxM2Pro(50lbs.) and currently BBO @ 48lbs.
