Prince OC-1 Tennis Shoes

The OC-1 is the first line of shoes in Prince's O-Series where the "O" stands for Optimum comfort. This shoe builds on the Prince's previous M-Series by incorporating the small tubes in the heel. This shoe has a lighter gauge in the Precision Tubes, allowing for increased shock absorption and response. While other comfortable shoes lack in support, this shoe excels in stability and arch support. Internal forefoot support and a hard plastic bridge in the arch price excellent stability while maintaining this shoe's specialized comfort. Overall, Prince designed shoes for those who want cushioning and comfort.

Wilson K Five Tennis Racquets

K Five MP


Wilson created the K Five 98 to give the player the best of both worlds, power and control. The lightweight 10.1 oz. frame provides an excellent amount of swing speed to create pace on all shots. The 98 in. head size condenses the sweet spot and allows for more precision than other light racquets on the market. This combination is unique for most midplus racquets and enhances various aspects of the players game. The responsive 16x20 stringbed is arm friendly and creates a substantial amount of pop without the lingering physical effects. Wilson added its latest [K] Factor Technology into this frame, resulting in enhanced feel, stability and comfort, without sacrificing weight. This racquet is intended for intermediate players looking to improve on all aspects of their game.

K Five OS


The oversized version of the K Five is very similar to the midplus but possesses a greater amount of power. The 108 in. headsize has a larger sweetspot, which generates more pop and allows for more room for error. This frame contains the [K] Factor Technology as well, providing excellent control and stability for such a light racquet. The K Five 108 is best for beginning level players who aren't ready to make the jump to the midplus but still seek the benefits the [K] Factor Racquets are known for.

Nike Air Zoom Vapor V Tennis Shoes

Nike designed such a terrific shoe in the Air Zoom Vapor V that the number one player in the world, Roger Federer, makes this his shoe of choice. Nike increased the durability of its predecessor without sacrificing weight (this shoe is almost a full ounce lighter than the Vapor IV). The regionalized material placed in the upper of the shoe adds to the durability and stability of the shoe. Nike's Zoom Air material is a super-response cushioning material that brings the players foot closer to the ground creating an optimal amount of feel and maneuverability for aggressive players. The durability of the outsole has been improved from the Vapor IV series, and the herringbone tread pattern provides excellent traction on all surfaces. Overall, this shoe is built for speed, comfort and maneuverability. But unlike other shoes in its class, these shoes offer durability and support that is unmatched for a shoe its weight.
