I’ve played with Prince my entire life and probably will for a long time in the future, but its honestly getting harder. The Warrior/Beast/Ripstick, Tour, and Phantom lines are all fantastic but they do a very poor job with sales and marketing. They have separate products for Japan that aren’t available elsewhere, they do not interact with their fan base very well, they don’t endorse many pros, and the racquets they sell at ***** Sporting Goods give the impression they primarily make low quality racquets for casual players. When they do come out with new racquets, they go to extremes like the Vortex and Twistpower. And of course there’s the bankruptcy that weighs on customers minds for future products.
Then I look at all the new racquets regularly being introduced, released, and promoted from Head. So many of their racquet lines appeal to the 3.0 and above players, but with overlaps in specs between the tour, pro, MP, etc versions that will appeal to both casuals and die hard tennis players and gear heads. Most players can find multiple Head racquets that have the specs they’re looking for. Head does major marketing pushes and pro endorsements and special edition colorways. They interact with their customers. They have an updated website that you can order from. It just shows they care about their products, sales, and customers.
