SQUASH HISTORY & MILESTONES ___________________________________ Prince Sports, Inc. is an established leader in the sport of squash. Since its inception in 1984, the success of Prince Squash includes a long history of successful grass roots promotions, game changing product innovations and top players giving the brand tremendous exposure on tour worldwide.

PRODUCT INNOVATIONS I Prince’s industry leading R&D department has revolutionized the game of squash by dictating how all racquets are designed and constructed today. Some of the key frame technology introductions are:

SQUASH CHAMPIONS I 1988 - Extender: By removing the throat bridge from a traditional racquet head design, main strings are extended and frame weight is reduced for unprecedented lightweight power.

Prince has one of the greatest portfolios of top players in the history of professional squash including former World #1 ranked: Peter Nicol – Scotland, 1998-2004 Michelle Martin – Australia, 1993 - 96 and 1998 - 1999 Cassie Jackman – England, 2000 and 2004 John White – Scotland, 2004 Nicol David – Malaysia, 2006 - 2010 In addition, top players such as: Rodney Eyles, Ahmed Barada, Rodney Martin, Simon Parke, David Evans, Paul Johnson, Amr Shabana, Ramy Ashour, Chris Walker, Lisa Opie, Martine Le Moignan, Jenny Duncalf, Suzanne Horner, Liz Irving, Fiona Geaves and Sue Wright among many others have also played with Prince. Today, Prince is well represented at the top of the rankings charts with James Willstrop - #5 (England) and Saurev Ghosal- #29 (India) on the PSA tour while Nicol David (Malaysia) is setting records for being ranked #1 in the world for more than 4 years.

1989 - CTS Extender: The Extender concept is improved with the Constant Taper System (CTS), a new beam design with a wider cross section at the tip, tapering to a narrower dimension in the throat. CTS expanded the sweet spot toward the tip, a critical area for squash players since so many balls hit close to the wall.

1991 - Extender OS: Prince breaks the headsize barrier again with EXTENDER

1993 - Extender Lite 180, 185, 190: A radical shaped series of Extender racquets with a straight teardrop shape and 10 main strings to achieve the fastest racquet in the game. 1994 - CTS Extender Elite II: Another lightweight milestone was

GRASS ROOTS I

achieved becoming one of the most popular Prince models of all time.

Prince provides sponsorship support of squash events, organizations and players nationwide. The program is managed by squash guru, Damon Leedale-Brown, who is a renowned trainer and clinician in the sport. Prince is a key sponsor of the U.S. Squash Association with a regular presence at many of the national events across the country, Prince is also supported by some of the top players and coaches in the U.S.

TOP PLAYERS/ADVISORS I Chris Gordon – World #77 and US #3 Wade Johnstone – World #94 Mike Riley – PSA Certified Referee Joe Russell – US Men’s 2010 6.0 Champion, Director of Squash Episcopal Academy Paul Assiante – Head Squash Coach, Trinity College Dave Talbott – Head Squash Coach, Yale University Bob Callahan – Head Squash Coach, Princeton University Mark Devoy – Head Men’s Squash Coach, Cornell University Miranda Ranieri – World #48 Wendy Bartlett – Head Women’s Squash Coach, Trinity College Julie Devoy – Head Women’s Squash Coach, Cornell University

the maximum headsize allowed in the game, providing players with maximum power and sweet spot size.

1995 - ThunderLite: Sweet spot is expanded and vibration reduced

by incorporating the popular Sweet Spot Suspension System.

1996 - Duralite/Wallbanger: Another first for Prince – the first squash racquets with an impact absorbing bumper, enhancing the durability of the frame. EXTENDER OS

1997 - Power Ring: Prince revolutionizes squash again with this new patented technology. By having the main strings wrap around an inverted ring in the throat, string bed resiliency is maximized resulting in unprecedented power. 1999 - Power Ring Ultralite Ti: Titanium reinforcement is achieved in a super lightweight of 135 grams, and combined with Power Ring technology 2000 - TT Ring: Triple Threat, a unique weight distribution system incorporating carbon-copper-titanium in three strategic locations, improves the stability of the racquet resulting in an expanded sweet spot in all directions.

WALL BANGER POWER RING

2003 - More Technology: Prince revolutionizes squash again by introducing a racquet with no drilled holes! This breakthrough achievement includes molding two separate frames together forming the most superior racquet construction ever for unprecedented power, control and frame strength. 2005 -

Technology: Large -ports at 12, 3 and 9 o’clock locations of the frame significantly reduce aerodynamic drag increasing swing speed by 24% and increasing sweet spot size by up to 59%.

2008 - Speedport: Taking technology to a new level with rectangular shaped ports for greater power and racquet maneuverability. 2010 Technology: Large holes or string suspension let the strings respond more freely for enhanced response even at the outer edges of the frame.

Prince is also extremely involved in driving and supporting the youth movement that is occurring in squash. We are a proud supporter of some of the top college programs in the sport. In addition, Prince is extremely proud of the support they are providing to junior players and programs of all ages and ability levels including: 2011 National Champions from ages 13-17 and the Urban Youth program from San Diego, California - Access Youth Academy Squash.

2 HISTORY & MILESTONES

______________________________________________________________________________ Every player, whether amateur or pro

knows what it feels like to be in the zone. When everything clicks and you can’t miss. The sweet spot seems huge. Unlimited power, crisp feel and more winners. You are hitting better shots on every ball—taking your game to the next level.

What is

EXO3 racquet design utilizes large holes and string suspension to deliver racquets with the largest hitting area on the market.

T E C H N O L O G Y What does it provide?

How does it do this?

Strings are liberated from conventional, restrictive grommet holes, allowing the strings to respond more freely—even at the outer edges of the frame.

A larger, more functional hitting zone giving all players the opportunity to hit better shots, more often. Now, even off-center hits feel and respond more like dead-center.

Large holes and string suspension let the strings respond more freely for enhanced response even at the outer edges of the frame.
