It usually takes me a couple of weeks to figure out how to make a racquet sing. I mean I can hit ok with them right away but to figure out exactly how to put maximum mojo on the ball takes some feeling around.
Yes. Same. I am still figuring out how I want to shape the ball. Natural instinct at first was to hit through it and very linear, but I am finding I am able to easily use extreme SW and hit the same way I do with the Babolats, except I can still come through the ball a bit more, add sting to it and it stays in the court.
Then you know something both TW and TWE
Both TW and TWE stated many times it wont be available in Europe..
No, I wonder if the 600 number is correct.
Ok, I misunderstood that question.
I posted a pic of both in the other 93p thread if you want to check that out.
Fairly sure.. just feeling it?
I agree, the 93P grip feels slightly bigger, but it works for me. I think it may be more flair on the buttcap, tough to tell. Regardless, it still feels like a 1/4 and not like a Babolat 1/4, which I have to swap out a skin feel for to get right.

It was a little less chunky. I just went and swung my PA+ that I thinned down with a skin feel to a true 1/4. The P93 is a tiny bit thicker but not enough to where it bothers me at all. I can switch between the 2 rather easily.
I'm pretty fussy about grip sizes, and this is my experience as well. I've measured quite a few grips, even one of my old Prince Graphite Pro 90s which felt so much bigger but they all measured more or less the same. The flare/taper of the butt cap and the grip material (soft, paddy synthetic material vs. tight and firm leather), as well as the handle shape (head/wilson/prince, rectangular vs octangular) gives me at least the impression of grip size diffs.
I think the 93P's leather grip is thicker and compresses less than the PP100P's synthetic grip and that accounts for the 93P's grip feeling slightly larger. Plus if you through on an overgrip, that just adds to it.
It’s extremely stable on off center hits. No flutter at all
Wow, no. That's way too much. I just use my grip size of 1/4 and it's fine. I do use an overgrip as well. It's not that noticeable unless you are hyper sensitive.
Barely..I mean, it's super subtle. I always regrip babolats with skinfeels because they feel too big, but I have not even thought about it with the Prince.
Got it. I never think about the PL numbers. They almost seem made up to me. For example, I don' t think the power difference between the PT280 and PC600 is much different.You understood correctly. PL is Power Level, not head size.
Prince just wanted an excuse to put a big fat 600 on the frame...legal team was against slapping a
on there too.

93P project was in the works for a while.
Wow 1/4 with a skin feel overgrip. My fingernails would be digging into my palms. I usually use a 3/8 with 2-3 overgrips depending on how much cushioning, weight or bevel feel I want. Of course I used to use 1/2 and occ 5/8 back in the day when all grips were man size.
ok? I guess my point is that Babolat base grips are thick and bulky which make people feel that the Babolat grip is too big. It's actually the base grip that causes that.
Yes I've always felt a Bab 3/8 were bigger than wilson and prince. Only used to need one overgrip with my Pure Drive and Aeropro.
Tons of men use 1/4, plenty on the pro tour. A lot of us use SW grips, so maybe that is why. But regardless, this is not uncommon or really shocking at all.
@Power Player - i'd avoid taking the bait on this one!
Can I? I'd like to learn more about this "man's sized" grip.
Yeah, I think our friend sees the need to validate himself a little eh? I think it's funny.
Idk, I know people with smaller hands than me who use bigger grips and people with bigger hands that use smaller grips. It's just preference I guess.
Yes they do. Don't drive yourself nuts with these details..lol. It's an endless rabbit hole. Hopefully you can get the frame in your hands and have a nice pleasant hit with it soon.
No, Dartangan's man grip certified racquets probably weigh in at 20 lbs each. 400 points headlight though.
This is exactly my experience Ported Phantom and 93p feel exactly the same it’s the other that were smaller
How'd you guess?
that is NOT slacking!
I hate that. I bought a PCG 100 in 4 3/8 and it's tiny. Feels more like 1/4, or even inbetween 1/4 and 1/8. I put leather on it, and need two overgrips, and it still feels a little small. I considered a shrink sleeve, but didn't want to add weight and change the balance. It also feels more rectangular (like Head) rather than round like it's supposed to be.
thats what she said
