Prince badminton rackets have been around for quite a while now, offering slightly quirky designs along the way. The early racquets had the x-axis design that looked something like a diamond head shape. The latest models are the 03 rackets, and have proved to be very popular.
Prince are more well known for their tennis and squash rackets, as they are one of the biggest manufacturers in the world, sponsoring many of the world's top players. They have a good reputation for producing quality products in these fields, but have struggled to gain a foothold in the badminton market.
I have used the older Prince models with the x-axis design, and they were prone to string breakage due to the string bed design, which caused the strings to be spaced out more than conventional designs. Another problem with this extra string spacing was a lack of control when the shuttle hit the strings.
Prince still use this head shape in some of their lower priced rackets, but the more expensive rackets now use an isometric head shape, or as Prince call it, the quadraform head shape. The benefit of the quadraform shape is that it creates an enlargened sweet spot, helping you to hit more consistent shots, more of the time.
The new 03 range has a new technology which is different from any other manufacturer. Prince have created open ports at the 12, 3, and 9 o'clock positions on the racket head. This basically means they have made the grommet holes much larger at these points. The effect is to improve the speed and aerodynamics of the racket.
There are two choices in the 03 range, the 03 Red, and the 03 Silver. The Red has a flexible rating, and is designed for more power. The 03 Silver has a slightly stiffer rating, and is designed for more control.
This new technology appears to be in total contrast to the Prince M+ badminton rackets, which focused on creating tiny grommet holes to give extra control. This u-turn from Prince is pretty drastic to say the least. Perhaps they have seen the error in their ways.
The new 03 range has proved to be a hit amongst badminton players, with many retailers out of stock, however the prices do vary quite a lot, so it would be wise to shop around for the best deal.
Prince are putting more of their resources into badminton these days, and hopefully more new badminton rackets will be available soon, offering something a little bit different to the others.

Tips For Tomboy Brides
Have you always been the type of woman who is more comfortable playing sports than shopping for shoes and handbags? You are not alone - there are plenty of women whose style is athletic and sporty rather than frilly and girly. When a sportier woman becomes engaged, it can be like being suddenly asked to take on a very unfamiliar role, that of the traditional gal who loves things like ribbon and lace and monogrammed napkins. The trick is to plan a wedding that feels like you and reflects your own style and interests. Here are some tips for tomboy brides to get you started on the right foot.
The biggest issue for many sporty women is the wedding gown. If you are unaccustomed to wearing dresses or even skirts, donning a floor length formal gown is likely to feel very much like putting on a costume. No matter how beautiful the gown, if you feel like a fake, you will not be happy. There are many styles of bridal gowns, though, that can feel very comfortable to a more athletic or tomboyish bride. The key is to shop for the one that makes you feel the best, rather than worrying about what your mother or guests would like to see in you in!
Stay away from strapless styles if you are not used to wearing tightly fitted or formal clothing. A tank style or halter gown will be just as beautiful, but you will not have to worry about keeping it in place all night. There are many wedding dresses which have clean and simple lines without a lot of frills or embellishments, which is often more pleasing to a bride who dislikes frou-frou styles. Simple wedding jewelry like a classic pair of pearl studs is a good option, or choose wedding jewelry which is a bit chunkier and more modern like a heavy silver necklace.
Your wedding decorations should feel like you, not some other bride. Do not feel like your wedding has to be traditional or lacy if that does not appeal to you. Clean and fresh may be more to your liking. Informal flowers like daisies are a nice option for the bridal bouquet, as they have that great fresh-picked feeling. Wildflowers are another great idea for the wedding flowers for a tomboy bride, thanks to their natural outdoorsy flavor.
It can be really fun to design your wedding with details which showcase your interests, so let your sporty side shine on your wedding day. Choose a motif which speaks of your favorite pursuits and carry it throughout the wedding. This can be especially nice if your fiance shares your interests. For instance, if you love to play tennis or sail, emboss the top of your wedding invitation with a small motif in the shape of a pair of crossed racquets or a sailboat. If you and your fiance bonded over football, instead of a groom's cake shaped like a football, have a bride's cake in the shape of a football. Let the traditional cake be the groom's cake, or simply have the special cake with a sheet cake in the the kitchen for additional slices.
Your wedding will be the most enjoyable for everyone if it feels like you. When you are a tomboy, there is no reason to try to hide your sporty side on the wedding day. You want to plan a wedding about which your guests will say, "Oh yes, this looks exactly like the woman we know and love!".

Strange strings which are IMPOSSIBLE to break..?
Recently I purchased another tennis racquet, the kfactor six, and my tennis stringer advised me to get these special strings.. This was about 2 months ago. Normally I break nylon, cow gut strings, and synthetic strings within about 2 weeks max. I've been playing with the strings I've gotten on and they've lost feel, the sweet spot is getting screwed up, and I'm getting pretty pissed off. The strings have what seems like to be something synthetic with metal inside? I've never seen this before. It can't be kevlar because kevlar is yellowish, hate those btw. The strings I got on are white/clear colored with silver/metal/idk what the heck it is but I REALLY want to know. Please and thanks before hand. Also, I'm requiring a detailed explanation for the ten points :]
i think this is polyester strings. if possible next time you have it strung pls ask the stringer what kind of strings he put into your racquet.
while poly strings are long-lasting, they feel really "dead" after a while. that's why some stringers recommend to use it in combination with synthetic/natural gut for adding some "feel". this combination is know as "Hybrid Stinging".
below i quoted some description from www.stringforum.net:
Polyester strings show a fairly simple structure: they consist of a single polyester fiber with a thin coating. This type of construction is termed "monofilament". They come in different gauges (1.10-1.35mm) which enables you to choose among different elasticity/durability levels. Polyester strings are little elastic and feel quite stiff compared to nylon or multifilament strings, but on the other hand they provide significantly better durability, allowing for thinner gauges. Pure polyester strings like the Polystar Classic or the Kirschbaum Super Smash have one main downside: They tend to lose their tension quite quickly, so control decreases and the string feels dead after a short time of play. Thus polyester strings are only recommendable for players with high string consumption. For these players, polyester strings offer a great price/performance ratio.
During the past few years, tremendous effort has been put into the advancement of monofilament strings and the elimination of their major weaknesses (tension loss and lack of elasticity). Luxilon has specialized in this string category. More and more polyester blends (co-polyester), mixed with a number of other materials like PEEK, carbon or metallic fibers, are being developed to modify the playing characteristics. Almost every manufacturer carries such strings in their program today.
Examples: Luxilon Big Banger Alu Power, Kirschbaum Touch Turbo, Signum Pro Poly-Plasma, Polyfibre Poly-Hightec, Head Ultra Tour.
