The best Racket ever madeSep 03, 2009
By C. M. Rogers
I've been using this model racket for around 15 years and it's still one of the best rackets ever made by Prince. The Prince Graphite Mid Plus is still one of the stiffest rackets you can get and it also has excellence weight and balance.
This racket is more suited to the higher standard player. It provides exceptional control especially with volleys. I have these rackets strung at between 62-64 pounds for hard court and grass court play.
It will be a sad day when there are no more of these rackets available.
 Great control racquetApr 27, 2012
By Mariamosis
A great racquet for anyone, although it is better suited for the more advanced player. For years, I played with the OS version of this racquet which is noticeably more powerful and is a little more forgiving than the MS version. At this point, I prefer the MS version more just because of the better control and feel.
Even now, the Prince Graphite (OS or MS) is still a great racquet, and IMO, one of the best control racquets ever made.
Fantastic racquet / easy on the armSep 18, 2010
By Spittle
After overdoing it, having shoulder surgery, and going through many months of physical therapy, I was finally ready to dive back into tennis. My original racquet was one of those 8oz extremely-light jobbies with the super-stiff string. It was great to volley with, but absolute murder on the arm! After a season using one of those, I had some odd issue with my hand, something called golfer's elbow, and then labrum issues in my shoulder. All the vibration and shock from striking the ball would transfer directly into my hand/elbow/shoulder and rattle me into surgery.
Back to this racquet. It was recommended to me by many folks and I figured I would give it a shot. I have been using it for a little over a year now. No arm pain at all anymore! I string it around 60lbs with Prince ProBlend and use a dampener. It does a great job on groundstrokes and gives you plenty of pace on the ball. This being a heavier racquet than my last, I figured my volleys would suffer. However, the Prince Graphite is slightly head-light and makes it easier to maneuver for volleying.
All-in-all, I highly recommend it and plan on getting another 1-2 once I finally get a job again!

 Not a prestrung racquet!Jul 21, 2010
By Cren Sullivan
There was nothing in the description to say it was not strung. Came to the house and SURPRISE ... no strings. So I sent it back. Otherwise, I have owned this racquet (strung) in the past and it is a great racquet.
