I like prince. What you really need to go after is what it feels like to you. The prince grip fits my hand better than a wilson. The weight is lighter for me. Some people prefer a heavier feel. I like mine not so tightly strung for control. You might like it tightly strung for power. Try some and go with what you like. Head also has a good one.

The pro at my club recommends a lot of Wilson raquets... and a few others, but I just demoed a few & I ended up w/ a Wilson Ncode6.2 & I love it.... I haven't played in 20 yrs & even tho I"m sort of a beginner again, this has a ton of control...
dont just buy a raquet because someone else uses it... or because it's pretty...that is just silly.
try a few & see how they feel. one of the raquets I tried a few weeks ago was so sloppy in my hand that I had no control at all, I hated it. ( grip size, weight of the raquet etc)
I'm certainly no pro, but dont just randomly purchase one, no matter what brand it is.

Maria Sharapova currently uses the Prince O3 White.
Wilson is a very common name, so they range from selling really cheap cheap racquets to some that are over $200... I dont know anyone who uses those, except the william sisters. but im not a big fan of watching them play.
Prince has a great line called the O3, as you know... I've tried the O3 silver and its a BEAST... You dont really have to swing at all, compared to my HEAD FXP Radical mp.
If you are deciding between Prince and Wilson, I'd go with Prince. because I get tired of Wilson and their general sports products... Prince is exclusive to Tennis so they are putting 100% of their efforts into it.
If you are a real pro at tennis, try the O3 Tour. I was going to get that but the price led me to buy the Head flexpoint radical. I'm enjoying the HEAD. Maybe you should consider a HEAD too.

This might sound like a dumb answer... but I'll give it anyway.
Prince demoed very well for me, but whenever I used one in a match I lost (I think that for some reason the guy that used to string my rackets didn't know what he was doing because I broke a lot of strings or they'd losed tension within a few games). Wilson gives me more predicatable hitting day in and out.
Actually, I prefer Dunlop over either of the others.

I use and know a lot of other people that use the Prince Shark, everyone loves them and thinks that they are great racquet's. The Prince give's a great performance, is good quality, and has excellent power, but offers a little more safety for big hitters.

You have to buy a tennis r. accordint to many things:
your age,
your complexion
your tennis level
your heating power
your grip
yuor swing etc.
You have to find the ideal or closeis to your playing
characteristics, and follor the advice of your coach or trainer.
you are no like some tennis stars, so you do not have her game, choose the one for you. Buy a racquet is not only a matter of fashion or brands

I don't know anything about tennis, but I would get a Wilson so I could be like Tom Hanks in the movie Cast Away, except I would draw a face on the racket and when I would screw up I would yell... WILSON!

I think by price Prince is cheaper and not bad. But when it comes to playing hardball Wilson, No doubt is the best........
