The Prince Tour Diablo racquet is one of the most unique racquets that I have had hands on. Right off the bat, you will notice how sleak and slender the frame is. This racquet feels really solid, unlike many other racquets on the market which uses hollow frames. As for its performance, I was very please as it permits me keep a consistent "feel" during a game. Though, I found that the Prince Tour Diablo does not generate enough power. Moreover, weighting in at 12.2oz,  it is a bit on the heavy side, but with heavy weight comes great stability. Spins are and pops are executed easily. I also found that serves are very controllable and consistent. As for groudstrokes, deep shots are efficient especially at the base line. Another noticeable feature that I like about this racquet is it is great at the net. If you know how to transfer your weight onto the racquet, blocking and returning are effortless. The Prince Tour Diablo only has a head size of 93 square inch, so I bet many beginners cannot use this tennis racquet to its fullest potential. With that being said, I really like this racquet although it does require a bit of getting used to. Overall I give this racquet a 4/5.
