Editorial Review:
New for 2006, the The Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet Mid Plus makes use of O-Ports at 12:00 and 6:00 only. This still generates a lively response, but with more control than Prince's original O3 racquets (which featured O-Ports at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00.)
With a 100 square inch head size and a Prince Power Level of 925, the O3 Hybrid Hornet Mid Plus is a more-controlled option to the O3 Red, O3 Blue and O3 Silver. Slightly more powerful than the Prince O3 Tour. Nicely damped feel, with a generous sweetspot and very maneuverable at the net as well. Overall, the O3 Hybrid Hornet should prove to be one of the best all-around tweener racquets for an intermediate to advanced player with a moderate to fast swing speed.

Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Tennis Raquet Comment: Excellent product and received the product quickly. Also the price was really good. Customer Rating: Summary: Prince O3 Hybrid Hornet Mid Plus Comment: I haven't used the racket enough yet to know its potential. At times, I get frustrated because it is too easy to swing and this results in errors. However, it is a great racket for defense...I never feel like I'm behind in a point. Customer Rating: Summary: best buy Comment: This racquet was a editor's choice from tennis mag so i bought it and love it. I am 50 yrs old, paid almnost $200 strung. saw it for $99 strung and jumped on it for my 10 yr old. 4 1/8 grip is perfect and really makes a huge difference. forget junior racquets for kids. just buy this one for an adult or a kid. Customer Rating: Summary: VERY NICE ! ! ! Comment: I used to play with the prince graphite in high school and college and that was a great racquet. This racquet carries on the tradition. Not ultralight... definitely not heavy. Firm groundstrokes... solid racket for beginners on up! Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent racquet for beginner/adv beginner Comment: Pros:
- This racquet makes my shots more controlled and easy to place
- Good for both playing at the baseline or at the net
- It has a huge sweet spot
- Looks very sleek and futuristic
Cons:
- Not as powerful as any head-heavy racquet (because its even balanced)
