Wii Prince Tennis Racquet

I just received my Prince Tennis Racquet and I love it! I enjoy playing tennis on Wii Sports and Racquet Sports and had previously purchased the Nerf accessories. Unfortunately, the Nerf accessories along with another bundle kit (included golf club, baseball bat, & racecar wheel) proved to be pretty flimsy. After playing just a few sets I immediately noticed a difference and improvement in game accuracy and proficiency. I will admit, I am about 5'3 or 5'4 so I didn't experience problems with ceiling issues encountered by other users. The only caveat is I found in attempting to remove the Wiimote there was a bit of difficulty. Therefore, I decided against doing so and will leave that Wiimote in the racquet and use my other Wiimote for other games. I chose this option because I didn't want to damage the Wiimote or the racquet. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase!

I ordered this product along with Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii, based largely in part on the 5 star review by "J. M. Manson". After receiving the item, I realized that the aforementioned review is so inaccurate that it must have been written deliberately to mislead buyers. Probably by someone with some financial stake in this product.1. Let's start with the most important issue first: the product doesn't work as described. When you play tennis on the Wii, the controller is held so that the buttons face the ceiling and the left and right edges represent the forehand and backhand. Well when you do that with this device, guess what? The racquet faces the ceiling also. Anyone play real tennis with the racquet facing the sky? Didn't think so.2. It is not the same size or weight as a real tennis racquet, unless you play tennis with a racquet 16" long that weighs 4 ounces.3. You can't use the Wii jacket with it at all.4. It holds the remote very loosely, using only a few flimsy plastic tabs.5. The product is made of cheap, thin plastic that I have no doubt would have cracked within a month had I bothered to use it more than once or twice.Take the money you were going to spend on this and use it to light a fire in your fireplace and it would be a better use of the funds.

This racquet is really cool looking, period. It has two design flaws 1) remote does not fit snug and has the tendency of slipping out. 2) The handle could use a better grip. I made adjustments to this racquet by adding "no slip" dots to the inside top of the racquet so the remote would fit more snug and I took tennis grip which I cut in half and added to the outside handle. This is one of my favorite racquets.

I enjoy playing Tennis on my Wii; I thought having an actual tennis racket would enhance the experience. The design of this racquet, with the Wii remote inside the handle seemed like just the ticket.Using the racquet certainly did enhance the playing experience, however the plastic handle of the racquet was anything but comfortable. After playing for a short period of time it was obvious that any long term use of this racquet was out of the question.The other annoying aspect of the design is that it blocks communication from the wii remote.

These rackets look good and work well. The only problem is that all the adult males, like over 5' 8' or so end up hitting the ceiling with them on accident. My girls, who are both 5' 4' come close, but don't hit it. My father, my husband, etc can not use these though because they always hit the ceiling with them. This of course is not a product problem, but if you have 8 foot ceilings where you play Wii you might want to reconsider this purchase.

Good buy

If you play tennis and want to play it on your Wii U, it feels much more authentic to hold a racquet than to hold a remote control. It feels much more like playing tennis. I do find that the remote can sometimes lose accuracy, but I think it's more an issue of the sensor than of the racquet. The feel of swinging the racquet increases the work-out aspect of playing video tennis. Low ceilings are a hazard, but with enough room, tennis players should really enjoy this accessory.

This racket is very cool. It has the weight of a real tennis racket and really makes you feel that you are playing tennis. I have played hours of Wii Tennis and have had no problems. Buy it! I just bought a second one for when I playing doubles with a "real" person.

perfect
