Prince paddles will be designed and manufactured by Paddletek and assembled in the United States. The first five models to launch are the Spectrum, Spectrum Pro, Response, Response Pro and the Quantum ranging from $99 to $140 available at Paddletek.com.

“As an internationally recognized brand in racquet sports, Prince has always been a leader of design and innovation,” said Tyler Herring, vice president of Prince at Authentic Brands Group. “Paddletek, like Prince, has been a pioneer in leading edge technology for player success. We look forward to a great partnership.”
