Prince Ripcord 100 300g - Full Technical Overview

The Prince Ripcord 100 (300g) is a 100 in² racquet targeted at intermediate players seeking a modern all-round frame with ease of use. With a strung weight around 318 g and an open 16x19 string bed, it offers good access to power and spin while maintaining solid stability for its class.

The beam width of 27/25/22 mm and a stiffness rating of ~68 RA contribute to a responsive hit, while the updated ATS with Textreme/Zylon helps reduce frame torsion on off-center strikes. This makes it a good option for players transitioning into more aggressive play.
