Question by dan h: What is the Prince tennis racquet “power level”?
What does this parameter ranging from 6xx to 1300(?) mean? Does it compare to any other racquet parameter (from different producer,let’s say Babolat?)

Answer by Ziel
Prince’s “power level” rating is just a thing prince does to give a comparison between its own racquets. Basically, lower power number means more control (less built-in power), higher number means more powerful. Generally, the more experienced a player is, the lower the power number they will want. BTW, lowest number is 600, on the Graphite Classic MP, and the highest is 1600, found on a couple models.
Unfortunately, it can’t be used as any sort of comparison with other brands. It would be nice if Prince were to evaluate all the other racquets on the market and give them a value, but they don’t. This is probably because the numbers themselves are arbitrary, they are just used to compare within the brand. I doubt they actually have a complex formula to find the number, they just know about how powerful it will be in relation to their other racquets.
There is a standard measure that can give you some feel for how a racquet will be, and that is swing weight. It has something to do with the balance, weight, and headsize. Higher swingweights will feel heavier, and generally have more control (if you are looking at racquets with similar balances). However, a light, head-heavy racquet might have the same swingweight as a heavy, head-light racquet, and they won’t play the same at all.

Dan, if you want to compare power between Prince racquets as well as other racquets, use this site:
http://www.tennis.com/yourgame/gear/racquetfinder/index.html
It gives power ratings in an objective way, using the USRSA index.
Power ratings differ based on size of the head, stiffness of the racquet, weight of the racquet & tightness of the strings.
Prince uses the 600 to 1600 system to compare within the Prince family. A 1000 Prince rating is equivalent to about 2,300 -2,400 USRSA. You can use the site to compare any Prince racquet to any Babolat.
The Pure Drive has a rating of 2,300+ which is similar to the O3 Speedport Red, for example.
Comparing racquets based on just USRSA is not a perfect basis for comparison, however. The two racquets I named above are very different in terms of feel and weight and would not be considered “interchangeable.”
Have a look at the site to compare racquets with similar power ratings as well as flex, balance, swingweight or price.
the prince racket that i have the power is 1000 becuase it is sharapova there is other level prince rackets u may need to ask ur coach for that
