Prince Ozone tour vs. O3 tour help!

[uabucks]

I can buy a new O3 Tour mp for 120$ and the Ozone is
170$. I reviewed the spec's and want to know if there is much of
a difference between the 2--they look so similar.
Can someone comment on the differences?
Which do you like better and why--I need to place my order
soon to get the O3.

There are some slight differences...the Ozone Tour is slightly thicker beamed. It feels more crisp than the regular O3 Tour, and therefore has more pop. I would demo both before buying. Differences are there, although subtle.

thanks, but---
the spec's say the ozone is 18-20-18, and the
O3 tour mp is 18-20
so how does the ozone have a thicker beam?
Also, the ozone by spec's is more flexy--yet more crisp?
interesting, Spec's are hard to rely on!
Do you find the O3 tour mp more of a player's stick--little heavier
and a little lower powered?
thanks for any reply??

Sorry, I guess it just looked like the beam was slightly thicker. I didn't actually compare specs, but just hit with both, so those are my opinions.

The Ozone Tour feels firmer in the head, could be due to the carbon matrix blah blah in there. But basically, volleys & serves felt crisper, groundstrokes had a little more pop. I liked volleying w/ the Ozone Tour better, which could have been a combination of the pop, plus a little better manueverability. I thought the O3 Tour had a little less pop and a more dampened feel.`

The Ozone Tour is by no means a tweener though...both are players sticks w/ heavy emphasis on control IMO. Like I mentioned before, both racquets are pretty similar w/ just subtle differences.

Anyway, I saw a friend's Ozone Pro Tour. This raket is sometinhg like 1mm wider than the Ozone Tour. Maybe Ferrero's influence? Because I'm no shure, but I think, for what I saw in television, he was playing with a 18x20 string bed in Indian Wells, different string bed from POG that he liked.

I have an O3 Tour MS and if you want feedback on that stick (as it is no the MP) I'll gladly share it.

Does the 95 sq inch version have a big sweet spot?
heavy? If you compared it to the MP model, I would
be quite interested in what you like about the midsize.
thanks
