Anyone heard of this racket? If you google it, it comes up on a european website. Apparently it's a lighter version of the Ozone Pro Tour with the same balance, flex, and string pattern. I figure people in Europe might have a better idea, but anyone with info would be much appreciated.

Not really. Actually what I did notice is that Prince has changed their grip shape. The Prince grip on my Diablo is more rounded, whereas the Prince grip on the Speedport Tour (which I tried to play with briefly), Speedport Black, and the Ozones (both the Tour and Pro Tour) is slightly more ovaled, similar to a Wilson grip.

I'm actually considering changing the butt caps on the Ozone Pro Tours from the new version to the old version, that is when my racquets show up.

I can't believe she ordered me Ozone Tours...damn!

I don't know why the did that with the grip shape. Just when I was getting used to the squared Prince shape on my POG, I find that the Ozone Tour grip is different. That cushy Durapro+ is awful, too. I wish they put the calfskin on these tour frames.

310gr, 18*20, same balance and swing of the model 16*18. available in some european shop.
the data of the stiffness is unknown.

I'm looking for the value of stiffness, the tour and tour pros are different for this data.
The pro tour team will be like the tour (about 60rdc) or the pro tour (about 65/66 rdc)?
This version is available in some european sites, in theory should be like tje tour version with a different string pattern and this will increase slightly inertia and the balance (because of the strings more than the tour). Once weighed up with the lead I think it is a great frame, without going to 328gr pro tour.
Anyone with information write.

Variations of the Prince Ozone Tour

There are four variants of the Prince Ozone Tour and we in Malaysia are lucky enough to get all four!

Here's the specs (which I took off the actual racquets cos' I can't seem to find them online):

1) Ozone Pro Tour MP - 100 sq inch, 328g (unstrung), 18x20 string pattern

2) Ozone Pro Tour Team MP - 100 sq inch, 310g (unstrung), 18x20 string pattern

3) Ozone Tour MS - 95 sq inch, 325g (unstrung), 16x20 string pattern

4) Ozone Tour OS - 100 sq inch, 300g (unstrung), 16x19 string pattern

Hope that helps!

Are you sure that you didn't type it wrong? The Ozone Tour MS is the same weight 310g unstrung as the OPTT and the string pattern is 16x18, not 16x20.

i think the os is 107inch, not 100.
there is also the lite version, 16*19 and 280gr, 100inch.

the stiffness?

Sorry my mistake. The OS is 107 (typo but don't know why TW doesn't allow for editing)...

There is a 95 version though, that I am certain of... Ozone Tour MS 95.

That's why I asked in another thread just how many Ozone (Pro) Tour's there were? :)

the data of el guapo is all ok!

If the ozone team is stiffer than o3tour/ozone tour standard, with a 18*20 string pattern is perfect!!!

I have asked to measure the flex value of the tour team to different sources, but I believe that it is as the standard tour. just know I will write.

Boy, I really think that I would like the Pro Tour Team. I love the 18x20 string pattern, and in a bit lighter weight...

Until they are made available in the US, or I find a supplier, I'm sticking to my Pro Tours.

resume:
Ozone Tour Lite, 645 cm2, 68,6 cm, 280 gr. 16 x 18 string
Ozone Tour OS, 690 cm2, 69,8 cm, 300 gr. 16 x 19 string
Ozone Pro Tour Team, 645 cm2, 68,6 cm, 310 gr. 18 x 20 string
Ozone Pro Tour MP, 645 cm2, 68,6 cm, 328 gr. 18 x 20 string

flex:
The stiffness of the original O3 Tour, 16x18 is 61,
the stiffness of the Pro Tour MP 18 x 20 is 65
the stiffness of the Pro Tour Team 18*20 is 60
This data i think are correct.

Too bad the Pro Team Tour doesn't have the 65 stiffness rating as well. I think the flex on the Ozone Tour was a tad too low for it's weight.

310gr with 18*20, imho,should have more stiffness, but think that the pro tour and pro tour team are the same frame with only different sring pattern.
can the superior holes can do the frame more stiff?

There is no Ozone Tour MP Lite. I've checked and there IS an Ozone Tour MS (95 sq inch, 325g, 16x20) and I have the pictures to prove it...

If it's the same stiffness as the Pro Tour, I got the wrong racket in my hands. If it's the same weight and stiffness as the Ozone Tour, but with the Pro Tour's dense pattern. Then I have the right racket in my hands.

if you you have real photo put it, it's useful.

Doc Hollidae what do you want to say?

the team version could be as the standard version, with low rigidity and only with dense sting pattern, or to be the tour version with less weight.
when there is a different distributions of the weights, can also change the rigidity of the frame.

perhaps the stiffness version is the lite version (280gr)l, that could be a good platform for customizzation.
what do you say with 15gr of lead tape on oval and 15grs on the handle, could it be very stable?

Got me confused there, but if the Pro Team Tour was the same as the Pro Tour, but 11.5 oz instead of 12.1 oz. I'd probably want that instead. Probably be able to hit the ball just a little bit harder since I'd be able to swing a bit faster. Also it'd tire me out less when serving. I don't mind the Pro Tour's weight, but the lighter racket would just be a little easier.

Demoed the Ozone Pro Tour for two hours today. I'm a 4.0 who generally uses POG OS, and occasionally mixes in an O3 White or 03 Tour OS. I really loved what I felt today, at least from the ground. I want something a tad heavy with good plow through, and this is certainly it. What I liked most is that I could really flatten out and rip with this stick. I can't do that with my O3 White, I tend to hit spin balls with that. The thin beam also allowed me to easily carve out slices on defense.

The only X factor with my demo is the shop I borrowed this from strung it up with Prince Recoil. I am pretty much a traditional synthetic gut guy, so it is possible I was actually in love with the string as much as the racquet. Only downside is I really needed picture perfect technique to stick my volleys, whereas I can dig them out a little better with the White. My practice session didn't afford me the opportunity for many serves. That will be the deciding factor if I buy this. If you are a POG fan, this is a great new alternative.

I'm still very pleased with my Pro Tours, and it's quite possible that a lighter version may not be to my liking, but then again...

for you what the most probable thing is, that the version "pro tour team" (310gr,18*20, 31cm baqlance point) is:
1- the "pro tour" version (328gr) with less weight but same stiffness and string pattern or
2- "tour" version (310gr) with same weight and rigidity, but with different string pattern?

according to you it is more probable for prince to produce the first version or the second?

I would also like it.
I have asked to various European distributors but I have not had answered.
I concern the construction I said that perhaps, because of the structure of the racket is possible that industrially prince suit it to produce both the "pro tour" that the "pro tour team" from the same model and then to add or remove weight (as it happens with the models fischer sl and ul).

sin, has had a confirmation (it is the second even if then it depends on the measurement), stiffness is 61!!

the tour team is available in EU (but not in all country). with google is very simple to find a shop.
another shop tell me that the stiffness is 65 for tour team and 70 for pro tour.
Although I think the data are without strings and measured with a different machine, it confirmed the difference in stiffness and it is important.

I love the flexy feel of the ozone tour, but the open string pattern combined with the huge string bed movement in the holes sometimes gives the feel of shady directional control. seems to me that an 18x20 would have more control and still plenty of topspin from the holes
