Prince EXO3 Tour 100 (18X20) Racquet Review

Prince EXO3 Tour 18x20

Precision. Comfort. Results.

The Prince EXO3 Tour delivers.

In this racquet, EXO3 technology goes to the next level. Complimenting a dense 18x20 string pattern -- for more precision and control -- the EXO3 String Suspension Inserts expand the sweetspot. The result is simple: better shots, more often. With the ability to provide the forgiveness needed by intermediate players and the precision and performance expected from advanced players, this racquet proved to be very versatile for our testers.

Read on for their insights.

Groundstrokes - Score: 85

Prince Exo

Though the EXO3 technology offers a unique feel off the stringbed, our playtesters all felt the control from the baseline was excellent. Chris found this racquet to mesh well with his game. He said, "This is one of my favorite racquets from the baseline in a long time. I found a perfect blend of power and control with this one. I felt very confident off both wings with this racquet and was attacking the ball well. On both topspin and slice shots I was getting all the spin I wanted. I could accelerate this racquet through contact better than just about anything else I've hit, and that gave me lots of spin. The spin allowed me to hit hard, yet still find my targets on a consistent basis. I felt a tad disconnected on the feel front. When rallying or going for power it was a non-issue. I didn't get as much feel as I wanted with my regular full poly set up, so I tried a bunch of different strings in this racquet. Feel was greatly improved with a poly/natural gut hybrid or a full bed of multifilament or natural gut string."

Finding improved control from the baseline was Troy . He said, "There was a dampened feel and I found it to have little to no shock on the arm. I noticed the dense string pattern improved my control from the baseline. During baseline exchanges I wasn't afraid to pull the trigger on shots when in an offensive position. I found it easy to put the ball near the corner and come in behind it. With the denser string pattern the racquet provided a little less pop compared to the 16x18 version of this racquet. It allowed me to swing faster, hitting a heavier ball. I found that I generate more spin and sharper angles from this string pattern from the sheer fact that I can generate more racquet head speed and still maintain control on my groundstrokes. I thought this racquet could use a little added weight at the 3 and 9 o'clock position to give it more stability and plow through. With some added weight this could be a real weapon."

Spencer adapted to the feel and enjoyed the results on his groundstrokes. He said, "As I experienced with the 16/18 version, it took some time to get used to the feel of this racquet. The feel of the ball coming off the strings of the EXO3 Tour 18x20 wasn't my favorite, however, I can't argue with the performance. I found this stick to offer great precision. I was very happy with the directional control off both wings. The denser string pattern provided less liveliness than the 16/18 EXO3 Tour. Though it didn't jump off the stringbed, there was enough put away power when needed. I didn't care for the feel, but there was good response on the more delicate shots, when a bit of touch was called for. "

Volleys - Score: 82

The dense string pattern helped offer our testers a lot of precision and control on volleys. Pleasantly surprised with the response at net was Spencer , who said, "This player's racquet offered the forgiveness of a larger headsize, and it worked well for me when coming to the net, as the large sweetspot most likely masked some otherwise off kilter volleys. What I was most impressed with was how the EXO3 Tour 18x20 responded to touch shots. It handled the more delicate shots with excellent results. Between the two string patterns of this stick, I'd prefer this one at net due to the muted power and more controlled feel."

Chris felt at ease when coming to the net. He said, "At net was my favorite place to be with this racquet. The response was just spot on for me. I was able to punch volleys aggressively, without fear of over-hitting. The comfort was fantastic even when I could only get the tip of the stringbed on the ball. This racquet felt very light and easy to maneuver, which further increased my confidence at net. I was playing a lot of doubles during this playtest period and the EXO3 Tour 18x20 quickly became my go to racquet."

Finding confidence with his volleys was Troy . He said, "I found a more firm response with this version. There was a good blend of ball pocketing, but without the catapult effect that the open pattern possessed. I was able to place my volleys in the corners and go for sharper angles more confidently with this racquet. The firmer feel was similar to what I'm used to with my KBlades, and I found a fair amount of control at the net, even with the 100 sq. in head size. I felt this stick lacked a bit of mass, which I feel would add some stability and make it feel like a solid player's frame."

Serves - Score: 81

What the EXO3 Tour 100 18x20 lacked in power, it made up for with control and consistency. Troy was thrilled with his control, and the variety of serves he could hit. He said, "It may seem odd to most people that adding two main and two cross strings could make a big difference, but it did for me. I found a lot more consistency in my serve with this version compared to the 16x18 version. I wasn't worrying so much about just getting my serve in, and I was able to be more aggressive. I was able to hit my bread and butter slice serve with good control. I also found the kick serve out wide or down the T to be relatively consistent, helping me to mix it up. I was able to generate a lot of racquet head speed since this racquet is a bit lighter than what I'm used to. I felt I could add some weight to this stick to give me a little more pop, thus adding some MPH's and making it into a weight that is more similar to what I actually use."

Able to effectively mix up his serves was Chris . He said, "I served well with this racquet. I'm not the kind of server who is going to blow opponents off the court with power, so I tend to like racquets that help me serve with variety, and this one fit the bill. I was able to get the bite I needed on the ball to find my angles and control the direction and pace of my serves. I got enough pace to occasionally catch my opponents off-guard with a flatter/faster delivery, but for the most part I used spin and direction with this racquet. Comfort was second to none on serves and I found the EXO3 Tour 18x20 to be a very forgiving racquet."

Spencer had similar sentiments concerning control, saying, "What I felt the EXO3 Tour 18x20 lacked in power, it made up for with control and consistency. Though I didn't feel the racquet was adding any pace, I made do with mixing up placement, spin and pace. One thing I was clearly happy with was the comfort of this stick. If I suffer any arm issues, it's usually from serving. The low rated flex and soft feel allowed me to have pain free sets."

Serve returns - Score: 83

prince exo3 tour lite 100

This racquet provided an excellent blend of maneuverability, stability and control, resulting in effective, consistent returns. Chris relished the control and comfort he found when returning. He said, "I could really take a good cut at returns with this stick. I found a ton of control, and that enabled me to stay aggressive. If I wanted to knife a backhand slice or rip a topspin return, the response from this racquet was spot on. Again, I was very impressed by the comfort from the racquet. No matter what string I used, I always found the feel to be very dampened."

Finding excellent control was Troy , who said, "I found good maneuverability, which allowed me to flick my wrist on returns where I was stretched out-wide. I didn't find as much power as I did with the open string pattern, but much better control on returns, where I could take a full cut at the ball. I was placing my returns well in my opponents side of the court, whether going for topspin or slice. I found the control of this racquet most noticeable in doubles, where I had to play keep-away from the net man. I was able to hit returns down the line and cross-court with confidence."

Spencer experienced a lot of success when returning serve. He said, "I really enjoyed returning with this stick. It carries enough heft to handle hard serves or off center hits, yet it was plenty maneuverable to get a good swing on the ball. I liked the tight string pattern more when returning, as I felt it offered more consistency. Whether I was chipping, blocking or trying to put my opponent on the defensive, I fared pretty well with this racquet."

Overall - Score: 83

The EXO3 Tour 100 18x20 proved to be an effective racquet for our playtesters. Though the feel took some getting used to, the control and performance were undeniable. The two areas where this stick shined were from the baseline and at net. Shot control, both directional and depth-wise were excellent with groundstrokes, while volleys offered solid punch and ample touch when needed. The tighter string bed provided impressive consistency. From most court positions there was enough put away power to end points, but that same power didn't resonate on serve with our crew. They all raved about the consistent control when serving, but couldn't muster any extra power when going for more velocity. All in all, the EXO3 Tour 100 18x20 impressed our team with its performance from all areas of the court, and can benefit intermediate through advanced level players.

Chris - "I loved the power, control, spin, maneuverability and comfort of this racquet. The spec and on court performance were an excellent fit for me. The best racquet I've tested since I first hit with my current racquet, and I'm thinking about switching to it."

Troy - "I experienced good control from all areas of the court, as well as a comfortable feel. I was able to generate a lot of topspin, while still maintaining good control."

Spencer - "The control and comfort."

Chris - "It took me longer than expected to find feel on touch shots, but I found the groove as I got used to the racquet and from using different string choices (Natural Gut main / Poly cross hybrid). I also added some weight to boost power on serves and add some plow through."

Troy - "The lack of plow through. I would add some weight to the 3&9 o'clock positions, as well as a leather grip."

Spencer - "Adapting to the unique feel."

Prince EXO3 Tour Lite 100 Tennis Racquet

Prince EXO3 Tour Lite 100 Tennis Racquet Unstrung

You may think that the Prince EXO3 Tour Lite 100 tennis racquet doesn’t look impressive at first, but you’ll change your mind the very first time you use it. Prince is a brand we all know very well already, so don’t be surprised if you hear people recommending it.

The EXO3 is different than the original EXO3 Tour in many ways. It’s adapted to a broader audience and brought to be a little more convenient. Why should you give it a chance?

Well, it fits most skill levels, although it may not look like that at first sight. Its features and specifications are somewhat different than the original EXO3 Tour, so if you didn’t think that racquet is for you, you should give this one a chance. ​​​​ ​

It’s lightweight but powerful. For this reason, it works for both beginners and intermediate players. The EXO3 Tour Lite 100 is excellent for beginners who are looking to upgrade their skills a little. It’s a racquet of choice for many advanced and recreational tennis players.

I just had to test the racquet myself and see what exactly makes it as good. Also, I talked to other people who swear by it, so I can figure out what it delivers and how it performs.

Prince EXO3 Tour Lite 100 Tennis Racquet

  • This racquet ships unstrung
  • This racquet does NOT include a cover
  • All Around Series provides all playing styles with a balance of comfort, durability, and playability
  • The power of Lightning XX combined with the spin produced from the tornado shaped outer wrap for players on the attack.

Continue reading to learn all the most important information, its features, specifications, what’s good, bad, and how it feels on the arm.

Features and specifications:

First and foremost, it’s important to mention that it comes unstrung, which may or may not be a plus, really only depending on your preference. In my opinion, buying an unstrung racquet gives you the chance of stringing it yourself with any material and in any pattern you like. Also, EXO3 comes with a cover, which is a plus, especially if you’re often on the go and looking to bring your racquet with you.

String pattern I 16 mains with 19 crosses. An interesting difference between the EXO3 Tour Lite and EXO3 Travel is that the Lite version has portholes positioned on the side of the head. EXO3 Tour has its portholes at the top and bottom. It’s interesting because this newly made change means main strings won’t float all that much at contact with the ball. The bottom of the hoop has a double bridge reduces vibration and shock. Of course, this means a more classical and comfortable feel.

Its head size is 100 square inches, while the total length of the racquet is around 27 inches. No doubt, it’s a classic racquet that’s comfortable and easy to control. Its balance is 2 points head heavy when unstrung, with 5 points head heavy when its strung. Its beam width is 23mm/24mm/22mm.

Prince-EXO3-Tour-Lite-100-Racquet

What I liked about the racquet is its weight. EXO3 Tour Lite weights 9.0 oz. when it’s unstrung. Its total weight is 9.6 oz. once you string it. This is relatively lightweight, but don’t let that fool you. Its weight is ideal for people who often enjoy extended hour training and extended games. EXO3 Tour Lite is one of the best arm-friendly tennis rackets . Even though it’s light in weight, it’s not flimsy. It’s easy to grip, and comfortable to hold for hours as it won’t hurt your arm, elbow or wrist. At best, if you enjoy medium to a long swing, this might be the best racquet for you.

Since the EXO3 Tour Lite 100  is great for beginners, it’s also widely present among older players. Most people like its weight, and the overall Prince EXO technology. The racquet is maneuverable, provides substantial spin and stable performance. Undoubtedly, other Prince models are much more massive and more suitable for off-center hits, only because of their weight.

Its larger string grommets give you better aerodynamics, and a stringbed that’s a bit more forgiving than what we’re used to with other Prince racquets. Also, you get more energy return, more spin, and accuracy. It offers control and power, while still being quite comfortable on your arm.Prince EXO3 Tour Lite has increased aerodynamics that delivers more spin, power and quick reaction.

Also, its accuracy is much improved compared to many other best arm-friendly tennis rackets. Overall, its features and specifications make it as popular amongst players with different skill sets. It’s no secret that many already experienced players often recommend Tour Lite and for a reason.

The good: ​

  • Arm-friendly
  • Comfortable
  • Stable, accurate and lightweight
  • Comes with a cover
  • Not very forgiving with off-center hits

Final verdict:

Overall, the EXO3 Tour Lite 100  works on many different skill levels. If you’re a beginner who wants to upgrade your game from your first racquet, this one will help you achieve that easily and quickly. Also, for advanced players, the racquet brings some change that’s refreshing and easy to adapt to. If you’re bored with your racquet and would like to try a new model that’s different from what you’ve used before, definitely give it a try.

It’s lightweight, which is one of its best specifications. Its weight makes it very easy to travel with, but it also dramatically impacts the quality of your game. You’ll notice power, spin, and control, all in the very few first minutes after you hit the ball. It’s easy to get used to it, as it’s so versatile.

Many people know about EXO technology and how well Prince’s racquets perform thanks to it. Now, imagine all that, but improved to fit more people and different skill levels. If you never experienced a Prince racquet, this might be the best model to start with until you’re ready to move on to a heavier and more advanced model.

If you’ve already experienced EXO technology and know what I’m talking about, I recommend you to test this model out. It works great for recreational and even more serious tennis players, all while being incredibly comfortable and one of the best arm-friendly tennis rackets on the market today.

After talking to many experienced tennis players, and testing the EXO3 Tour Lite myself, I must say that it’s definitely worth the attention. Make sure to give it a try the next time you’re looking for a new tennis racquet.

Prince EXO3 Tour 100 Lite Tennis Racquet Review 

June 16th, 2011

filed in Tennis Product Reviews, Tennis Racquet Reviews

I really don’t understand the racquet companies sometimes. So basically they make a ‘lite’ version of a racquet, and instead of just making the same frame and making it lighter, they change the name of strings located in the crosses by one. Is this marketing strategy? A way to help stringers? A shot at making life easier for people in the sports superstores who usually are not that informed about what is in their section? I don’t get it. But it is more than a little confusing on the face of things. This racquet is much different than the other frames it is associated with in the Prince marketing materials. It is the standard length and weighs 9.0 ounces unstrung (9. 7/8 strung with dampener on my own scale). It has a 100 square inch head, but it is 1” inch thick, compared to the standard  ¾” inch width of Prince “player frames\racquets”. This is a not insignificant difference. This racquet just feels different on contact than the other Prince frames that I have hit with and reviewed lately. The truth is that the Prince EXO3 Tour 100 Lite just doesn’t feel like a ‘tour’ or high performance racquet to me. It is too light by some amount, and as soon as I started hitting with it I was launching balls to unexplored areas of the club parking lot. Prince may say that the power rating is 875, which is low by their definition, but I thought the racquet simply was overpowered. It wasn’t quite to the trampoline stage, but is was simply too loose and blocky with regard to feel, to consistently produce enough spin to harness the power. A player review I read somewhere online said that this racquet is a good platform, since it requires serious retro-fitting with lead tape. Maybe that is a good point. But if you have to add a lot of lead tape under the grip and on the head, to make the frame useful for baseline play, why bother. Wouldn’t you just want to buy a heavier frame that is balanced in a way that is suitable for your game. It is one thing to use lead tape to adjust and\or fine-tune a racquet to meet the specific needs of your game, it is another thing to have to use lead tape to make the racquet suitable for use. I didn’t like the feel of this racquet for groundstrokes, serves or volleys. It was just overpowered to the nth degree. I do think that 3.0/3.5 players who are looking for added pop might like this frame, also junior players who are starting to use adult frames. A small sized junior player who has semi-western or western grips on the forehand side and a good spring serve, might find this racquet perfect for playing against larger kids where they need to produce some cheap and easy pace. I do think that there is a market for this racquet, it just isn’t among players who typically use a racquet with the phrase ‘tour’ painted on the frame.

tried everything, chose Prince Exo3 Tour 100

  • Thread starter beeveewee
  • Start date Sep 1, 2011
  • Sep 1, 2011

context: After 18 years away from the game I'm a 3.5 tuning up to 4.0. Still playing my Wilson Sting, 12.5oz, 88". Big Hitter Blue Rough 17 mains / Gosen 17 crosses. The choice: Prince Exo3 Tour 100 18x20. I will order a couple of leather replacement grips from TW. When everything comes in I will bum some lead off a very close friend of mine and spend some time matching them up. The TW reviews on the 16x18 vs 18x20 underlined my own opinion. The 18x20 was better on groundstrokes, slices, volleys and returns and at least as good on everything else. I was getting a bit more spin with the 16x18 but only by a little. In fact, I think ultimately the 18x20 gave me a better combination of control and spin so that I felt I could spin it more. It maybe had a bit more pop but not in a good way. How I chose: I weighted my decision towards what I think is the best 'medicine' for me right now. Tried to shut out how brilliantly each racquet shined in its' own way. The Dunlop just feels like butter on volleys, slices and returns My final order: 1. Prince Exo3 Tour 100 18x20 - confidence inspiring, helps me slow things down and play a loopier topspin (consistent) ball which is what I need to focus on right now. Kind of has the effect of taking both the net and baseline out of play. Or at least keeps them from haunting me. First serves clicked into place instantly with pace and direction. Second serves spun in reliably with good kick. Lightest of the bunch but same swingweight, never felt like the racquet did anything wonky. The softness lets me swing hard against weak shots and not send them long every time. The best "fits my game for now" choice. 2. Pacific x-feel 95 - predictable power, never felt like the racquet did anything wonky. Very good control when you need it and very good power on tap when called upon. Clicked great on serve. String sensitive but that's just a sign of a good solid basic, no frills frame. This may be the most versatile of the lot. It could play up or down. 3. Dunlop Bio 200 - The most beautiful and rewarding of the bunch. Volley machine, solid groundstrokes, great angles. The sound from this thing when you make perfect contact almost makes you want to lick the racket. But in the end not forgiving enough for me. It never clicked for me on first serve. Second serves were OK. Every so often I felt like the racquet did something I didn't ask it to do (even though I know it is my fault). I desperately wanted to choose this racquet but I'm not ready. Like the line from As Good As It Gets, "You make me want to be a better man." 4. Yonex v-core 95D - I was about to be carried away by the Yonex for serving, volleying and ripping forehand winners so brilliantly. Power and spin were abundant and the racquet is still plenty soft for my sensitive elbow. But if I do something wrong it is in the fence. When I am ready to enter open tournaments I may take another look. Along the way I also demoed (stand-out features noted); Volkl Power Bridge 10 Mid / very solid, very heavy Volkl Organix 10 325g Volkl Organix 10 295g / spinny, very crisp yet soft Volkl Power Bridge 9 Volkl Power Bridge 10 Mid+ / great ball pocketing Dunlop Aerogel 4D 100 Mid+ / classic Dunlop Biomimetic 300 ProKennex Ionic Ki 5 / sounds like an african rain stick ProKennex Black Ace 98 / classic Gamma G330X Mid+ Donnay X-Dual Core Silver 99 Mid+ Donnay X-Dual Core Platinum 94 Mid+ Yonex RDiS 200 Mid+ Babolat Pure Storm GT / served bombs Babolat Roddick GT plus / served missiles and liquified my elbow Wilson BLX 6.1 95 16x18 / groundstroke machine, elbow liquidizer Wilson BLX Blade 98 / great racket with a Mizzou paintjob, too high SW Prince Exo3 Rebel / paintjob made me want to play worse or quit tennis Boris Becker Delta Core London / crazy kick serve machine Head YT Speed Head YT Speed Pro Head YT Prestige Head YT Prestige Pro Head YT Extreme / taught me that tech can make a difference It was a long journey.

Nice write up. Kept me wanting to read more. I chose the exo3 tour 18x20 also. I also have the TW leather grip which I love.  

thanks! I hope the TW grip works out for me too. Have always played with leather under Wilson Pro.

Great choice. When TW sent me one of these to test I was very sad to send it back. If these were the same price as the Ozone tours I would have these in my signature instead. Great frames.

Thank you for the write up. This point you make above is very important to keep in mind and I have a lot of respect for you for being able to stay focussed on this. I've hit with a few 'wow' factor frames and it can really distract you from what you need vs what you think you want. Good luck with the Princes. I'm very interested in them myself.

I just picked up two of the 18x20s and two of the 16x18s. Some youngster was selling them on craigslist. His dad had given them to him and he was asking $50 each. Three were new, unstrung and one of the 16x18s was strung. When I demoed them from TW I liked the 18x20 better, but once I strung mine up fresh I'm not sure.  

cknobman

I always go 16x18 for the spin as every 18x20 just has not been the same for me. To compensate for control I just increase the tension on my 16x18 and it is enough to make me a happy person.

Bee, Don't be afraid to add that extra weight on this 'sweat stick'. I switched after believing that I'd never give up my PresMids, which I swung for close to 4years. The two I own come out to 363gr. with a 361sw (360 for the other) and 5pts.HL, and they still play so comfortable. Even with these specs and full poly (very low tension) I have no wrist,elbow or shoulder problems. I've been playing with the exo3T100 for over a month and am really getting settled in. Plus, the weather and work schedule has helped in clocking-in many court hours. I have 14gr. of silicone injected 8inches up the handle, 5gr. of lead at 12, and 5grams total at 3&9. (all under the bumper and port/string hole inserts). I also have added string-hole inserts at 3&9 but have kept the port-hole inserts at 12. The string ( BBO@48 ) and the string hole inserts (added ~1gram) account for the extra 3grams. The way this frame handles defensive and offensive shots is enjoyable. Return of serves are effortless and volleying is controlled and solid. At my spec range, I'm getting so much pace off the serve, I thought my old MGPresMids had some 'omph' on serve, but these exceed them. No guess-work on ground-strokes either, effort and technique are handsomely rewarded. It really inspires confidence from all over the court... base-line... net-play... and in between. All around A++ from me. Have tried (thus far) LuxM2Pro (52lbs), Signum Pro Poly-Plasma 16L(54lbs.), PrinceBeastXP 17 (50lbs.) and currently BigBanger Original(48lbs.). By far my favs are LuxM2Pro and BBO in this stick (low tensions) but am curious to trying out a decent multi at high tensions (60+) to see how they fit. If anyone has tried a multi in these frames, please leave some feedback. Best of luck, -Klem  

Nice write-up and review. I hope you enjoy your new racket!

klem, thanks for the encouragement to mod! Room for customization was one of the secondary reasons I chose this racquet. The plan I'm formulating is shaping up like this: 1. try both thicknesses of TW leather grips. 2. racket 1: BHBR @ 50lbs; racket 2: BHBR mains @ 54 / Gosen 17 @ 54 3. tinker with tension and determine whether I like full bed or hybrid best. 4. expirament with minor weight at 3 & 9 5. try Weiss CANNON Scorpion 1.22 6. try BBO on the strength of your recommendation. And I've got to do all that in about two weeks before USTA play starts up! How would you guys modify that plan?

Does the exo 3 feel at all too soft, or lacking in weight at the tip of the racquet?

UWBTennis said: Well since you put up such a good offer, I will now shamelessly take an inhuman amount of advantage of it. I would like to know how the EXO3 compares to Volkl Organix 10 325g, ProKennex Ionic Ki 5, Donnay X-Dual Core Platinum 94, Head YT Speed Pro, Wilson BLX 6.1 95 16x18, and then the Babolat Pure Storm GT (only if it is the tour version) and Head Youtek Extreme (only if it's the Pro version). I only found some information on the Prokenex Ionic Ki 5 from that list but I would like some more, please and thank you . Click to expand...
beeveewee said: The YTPP seemed to play lower powered even though it is considerably stiffer. This could be because the sweetspot is smaller. Probably has more to do with my lack of ability to find the sweetspot every time. I bet if you're an advanced player with great footwork looking for a low-powered control stick that lets you really swing out you'd be all over that racquet. A secondary issue with the YTPP is that I string my own racquets and have heard many curses about the deep pinch channel in the grommet. Click to expand...

Racket Review: Prince EX03 Tour 100

Originally published on: 29/03/13 00:00

This Prince racket is aimed at "a player who prefers a weapon loaded for attack", warns the accompanying literature and that description is spot on.

From all areas of the court, this delivers huge, effortless power – the only challenge is controlling it. This allows players to dominate from the back of the court and its easy power generation helps on serve and at the net too. Volleys fizz out of the sweetspot.

SERVE-VOLLEY STAR

The noticeable difference about this racket are the gigantic grommets around the edge of the frame – the holes the strings pass through – which are the basis of the EXO3 technology. Prince says that the extra large holes allow the strings to move more freely which results in more power on every shot – even those that are struck from outside the sweetspot. Basically, we can't argue with that assessment since this frame offers incredible power that can enable players to do damage regardless of their position on the court. The EXO3 Tour delivers massive groundstrokes, penetrating volleys and big serves. Perfect for the attack-minded player.

Specs — Prince EX03 Tour 100

RRP: £175 Head size: 100 sq.in Unstrung Weight: 310g Length: 27 inches String Pattern: 16×18 Balance: 31 cm Beam: 18-20mm

Groundstrokes

I thought this racquet was very solid and carried a moderate amount of power. It seems like it is right in-between a high powered racquet and a low-powered one. For someone who likes a little pop on their groundies, this one will be in your wheelhouse. The stiffness of this racquet allowed me to handle off-center hits with ease and the racquet resisted twisting. It was a nice, solid feeling racquet. No arm issues at all. Spin was good and I felt comfortable on both topspin and slice. Even at 100 sq in, I didn’t feel like I lost control of the tennis ball . However, if you take a big rip on the ball, you’ll need to back off some as the ball will tend to fly a little bit. Stringing it towards the top end of the recommendations will help, too.

Serves/Returns

I could generate good speed on serves but it shined in placement. I was able to hit the outside corner of the ad side better with this racquet than with most any other due to the control it possesses. Frankly, no matter where I aimed the ball, it seemed to go there! Surprisingly, I didn’t get as much power on serves as I thought would. Since groundstrokes seemed to be more powerful, I thought it would translate to the serve. Not so. Still, no complaints as it was certainly adequate. Returns were a dream due in large part to the extra sq in. Whether I took a full rip or just blocked them back, returns were very effective.

Volleys/Overheads

This EXO3 White 100 Racquet felt at home near the net. The extra size gave me confidence that I could volley anything that came my way. Volleys were solid and I had to only slightly adjust to make sure I didn’t hit long. There is nice mobility and since the overall weight is low, the even balance didn’t hamper the quickness at the net. Overheads were smooth and easy.

This was a nice play test for me and I really enjoyed the racquet. Personally, it felt a tad light but a little well placed lead tape could fix that problem. The 100 sq in felt great and I didn’t feel like I was hitting with a trampoline. However, this racquet will provide more pop and I would consider it more towards the power side than the control side. If you’re a 4.0+ player looking for a larger racquet with a nice amount of pop, this may be the ticket.

Top 10 Moscow Attractions – Things To Do In Moscow

1. all around the kremlin.

St. Basil’s Cathedral

Start from the Alexandrovsky Sad (Alexander Garden), a highlight of Moscow center. The garden is famous for its architectural monuments, incredibly beautiful flowerbeds and history. The Eternal Flame in the memory of the fallen heroes in the World War II glows in front of the Kremlin Kutafya Tower. Alexandrovsky Sad is a place that is impossible to miss, if you are going to the Kremlin , a symbol of the Russian State, one of the greatest architectural ensembles in the world, a treasury of amazing relics and monuments of art. The famous  Armory Chamber and the Diamond Fund are real treasure houses. The Kremlin is the official President’s residence and remains a gorgeous political landmark. On the way from the Kremlin to the Red Square , you will find the State History Muzeum , with a wonderful collection of artworks, depicting Russian history. Red Square remains, as it has been for centuries, the heart and soul of Russia. Few places in the world bear the weight of history to the extent that Moscow’s central square does. From the 16th Century St. Basil’s Cathedral – one of the most famous pieces of architecture in the world – to the constructivist pyramid of  Lenin’s Mausoleum , Red Square is rich in symbols of Russia’s turbulent and intriguing past. Right at the Square there is one of the oldest and most remarkable shopping centers in Moscow – the GUM . Just several trading passages in Russia were created over a century ago and successfully operate until nowadays. GUM always was, and remains the greatest country’s store. To have some rest you can go to recently opened Zaryadye Park and enjoy breathtaking views of The Moscow Kremlin from the floating bridge, listen to some classic concerts or try local food from different regions of Russia.

2. NEAR THE BOLSHOI THEATRE

-> Read our main article about Moscow theatres

Not far from the Kremlin and the main street of Moscow – Tverskaya street you will find the Theater Square. The square is situated over the river Neglinka that was enclosed in an underground pipe in 1819. Now it is a green square with two beautiful fountains. The area owes its name because of t three theaters located there: a world-famous Bolshoi Theatre , Maly Theatre and Russian Academic Youth Theatre (RAMT). The Bolshoi Theatre is a symbol of Russia for all time. It was awarded this honor due to the major contribution to the history of the Russian performing arts. This history is on-going and today Bolshoi Theatre artists continue to contribute to it many bright pages. Visit the theatre to watch the magnificent Russian operas and ballets. Despite high ticket’s price, you will never be disappointed; it is a real pearl of the world’s theatrical life. The TsUM is a luxurious shopping mall with recognizable designer labels and expensive goods is also located at the Theatre Square. A good place to visit in this area is a place called «Denis Simachev Bar», a two-story house in Stoleshnikov Lane. The music and menu are diverse, as well as the audience. A special drink of the bar is cider «Sidor Simachev».

3. AROUND CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR

Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

Start from Ostozhenka St. , and lanes around it, to see the charming old Moscow. Despite that Ostozhenka became one of the most expensive streets in the world, with lots of new houses, it preserved unique examples of the 18 and 19 centuries architecture, which you may find in the numerous bystreets. Moreover, Multimedia Art Museum , one of the most interesting art spots in Moscow is located at Ostozhenka, 16. Follow the street to the city center and you will see the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour . It is one of the largest Orthodox church in the world. The building is magnificent, but not as old as it looks, it was rebuilt in 2000 (the original was demolished by the order of Stalin). One of the highlights of the Cathedral is the panoramic view from the 40-meter-high observation platform. Use the footbridge from Christ the Savior Cathedral to get to the former area of confectionary factory Krasniy Octyabr (the Red October) with lots of stores, bars and cultural spots. The Strelka Bar is a good place to have some rest. It is a comfortable urban space for informal and having a cocktail. In summertime, the bar opens a terrace overlooking the Moscow River.

4. THE GORKY PARK

Gorky Park

-> Read our main article about Moscow Parks

After visiting the previous attraction, you can follow the footbridge and enter the long pedestrian zone at the borders of the Moskva River. At first, the Krimskaya embankment will lead you to the Museon Art Park , that has a unique collection of 700 sculptures. Nowadays Museon, together with the Gorky Park and Neskuchniy Sad are much reconstructed. The space of the Museon Park of Arts is perfectly landscaped for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Follow the River Bank and you will come to the main leisure and cultural spot of nowadays Moscow – the  Gorky Park . It opened in 1928. In 2011, Gorky Park underwent a major restructuring and now has a fresh, vibrant appearance. The park’s recently upgraded design makes it one of the most interesting places to spend your leisure time. About 20,000 visitors visit the 109-hectare park each day. The park features bike rental stations, a comfortable business area with Wi-Fi, an outdoor movie theatre and a greenhouse where you can buy fresh greens such as basil and lettuce, numerous open-air cafes, yoga classes, film festivals in the summer cinema and classical music concerts. To contemplate the sky and the stars, you can go to the observatory and look through the telescope while listening to fascinating stories from astronomers. You can enjoy many sports in the park such as volleyball, handball, football or a peaceful jog around the beautiful surroundings If you go further by the riverbank you will reach Neskuchniy Sad , a wonderful place in the Moscow center, one of Moscow’s oldest parks, highly renovated for the past few years. Once an area filled with the summer palaces of Moscow’s wealthiest nobles, it is now a charming slice of wildlife with many activities and places of rest.

5. THE METRO

The Moscow Metro has its own unforgettable charm. It was opened in 1935 and became one of the USSR’s most extravagant architectural projects. That is why most of the central underground stations look like a museum. Every station has its own mood, different decorations and fascinating story. Take a journey in Moscow underground to get an unforgettable impression of the city.

6. THE NOVODEVICHY CONVENT

The Novodevichy Convent

The Novodevichy Convent , built in the 16th and 17th centuries in the so-called Moscow Baroque style, was part of a chain of monastic ensembles that were integrated into the defence system of the city. The convent was directly associated with the political, cultural and religious history of Russia, and closely linked to the Moscow Kremlin. It was used by women of the Tsar’s family and the aristocracy. Members of the Tsar’s family and entourage were also buried in its cemetery. The convent provides an example of the highest accomplishments of Russian architecture with rich interiors and an important collection of paintings and artefacts. The convent was closed in 1917, and in 1926, it became a branch of the State Historical Museum. The museum`s collection now consist of about 12,000 items, including old Russian paintings, fabrics from the 16th—20th centuries, items from precious metals and stones, liturgical items, and vestments, made by the best artists, jewelers and embroiderers. The necropolis is one of the convent`s special attractions. The Novodevichy cemetery is divided into «new» and «old» sections. The old cemetery lies within the convent’s walls, and since the early 18th century it was the burial place for eminent and rich people, above all, the tsar’s family. In the 19th century, many prominent Russians were laid to rest here. The new cemetery was had been used from 1898 to 1904. During the Soviet era, the Novodevichy cemetery was second in prestige only to the Kremlin wall necropolis.

7. ZOO AND PLANETARIUM

prince exo3 tour lite 100

The Moscow Zoo is one of the oldest zoos in Europe. Its first name has been Zoological Park and it was opened in 1864. Through 140 years of its history, during times of peace, war, revolution the Zoo was open. Nowadays it is located right in the middle of the big city. The main entrance to the zoo, built in 1997, stands opposite Krasnopresnenskaya metro station. It looks like a fairytale castle with towers and a waterfall. This enter leads to the old part of the zoo, where the highlights include the big cats, a neat underground viewing space below the penguin pool, a dolphinarium, as well as the sea lion enclosure that lets you watch them swim from below. A pedestrian bridge takes you across the street to the New Territory, the most interesting parts of which are probably the primate house and fun children’s zoo. Near the second enter to the Zoo at the Garden ring The Moscow Planetarium is located. It was first opened on November 5, 1929. After a global reconstruction, it was reopened in 2011. Now it is a multifunctional complex that combines scientific and educational resources: the interactive museum «Lunarium», the Museum of Urania, the Big Star Hall and the Sky Park, family recreation center that is focused on different age groups. The Moscow Planetarium is one of the biggest planetariums in the world.

9. THE VDNKH AND MUSEUM OF COSMONAUTICS

Rotonda near Uzbekistan Pavillon at VDNKh

-> We also have great  SOVIET MOSCOW TOUR , available for you

The VDNKh – the Exhibition of National Economic Achievements – and it remains a fascinating monument to Russia’s transitional period, a mixture of faded Soviet pomp and unregulated capitalism. Its story began in 1939 as the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition, a monumental paean to the achievements of collectivization. Nowadays the VDNKh is a bizarre juxtaposition: part agricultural fair, part trade expo, part shopping center and part street market, with amusements as diverse as paint-balling and camel rides. The park itself is an intriguing example of 20th century landscaping. The VDNKh buildings, still preposterously magnificent are wonderful example of Soviet architecture. The VDNKh is truly unique, and worth visiting, especially as there is much more to be seen nearby, including the wonderful Cosmonautics Museum . It was opened in 1981, to the 20th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin space flight. The idea of creating this museum belongs to famous Russian scientist S.P. Korolev, one of the major figures in rocketry and space ship building of the XX century. Nowadays a large exposition demonstrates a full-size rocket and space technology. You can try interactive exhibits, such as the one, identical to the Cosmonaut Training Center simulator, virtual international space station and more.

10. KOLOMENSKOE MUSEUM-RESERVE

Kolomenskoe Museum-Reserve

A unique historic place – Kolomenskoe – is situated in the picturesque surrounding over the Moscow River banks. These lands are full of legends. Archeological discoveries state that the first settlements appeared here in the 8th century. It is an ancient and uniquely formed place. Today this is an exceptional complex of cultural monuments of a great historical value. The chief attraction of the park is undoubtedly the stone Church of the Ascension of the Lord . It was constructed in 1529-1532 by order of Tsar Vasily III to commemorate the birth of his son and heir, Ivan the Terrible. However, there is a lot more to see in the park: the pretty Church of the Icon of Our Lady of Kazan – with its bright azure domes and plenty of gold. Further into the park there is a charming Church of the Beheading of St John the Baptist , built by Ivan the Terrible to mark his coronation. If you visit this place, you can fully enjoy nature, picturesque views over the Moskva River and learn about Russian medieval architecture. Moreover, many cultural events are held here.

And clearly one of the coolest things to do in Moscow!

  • Good to know! Park Zaryadye is also a place to visit in Moscow in winter. Find out more here: What to do in Moscow in winter?

Visit the Moscow Kremlin

Visit Kremlin is on top of things to do in Moscow. A place of power for centuries, the Kremlin then shows us a whole different image when viewed from the inside. If you want to visit Moscow in 2 days, the Kremlin is certainly one of the must-see places in Moscow.

  • Opening hours : Daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except Thursday.
  • See our blog post about visiting the Moscow Kremlin

Moscow Kremlin: skip-the-line tickets and 8 things not to miss

Visit the Cathedral of Christ the Savior

This impressive Moscow Cathedral is the seat of the Russian Orthodox Church. It is a must see if you visit Moscow in 2 days and clearly one of the things to do in Moscow. The Cathedral of Christ the Savior was first built in 1883 in memory of Russia’s victory over Napoleon’s Grand Army. Then in 1931 Stalin ordered its destruction. It was then rebuilt again (identically) only in 2000.

  • Where? Ulitsa Volkhonka 15. At the foot of the Kropotkinskaya metro station.
  • Opening hours . Daily: 10: 00-17: 00, except Monday: 13: 00-17: 00
  • Free entry (some closing restrictions, for example a short)

Good to know! In orthodox religious places, one must avoid excessively uncovered clothing. Women should cover their heads. After visiting the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, you can explore Bolotny Island and Gorky Park. This is one of the routes our guide to Moscow.

Cathedral of Christ the Savior

The old Krasny Oktyabr factory: one of the coolest things to do in Moscow

If you cross the Moskva River by a pedestrian bridge which is located just in front of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, you will enjoy a beautiful view of the city and at the same time you can discover Balchug Island. Furthermore, if you want to visit Moscow in 2 days, you can include this island in your itinerary between the cathedral and Gorky park. Here is the old confectionery factory Krasny Oktyabr, which has gradually turned into a fashionable micro-district. There are then some elements of street art, cafes and restaurants and some Moscow bohemian side. At the end of the island you can see a gigantic 98-meter-high monument dedicated to the Russian reforming tsar Pierre The Great.

Good to know! You can find on this island are the trendiest nightclubs in Moscow. On weekends, there are taxi caps after midnight so there are so many people. On the other hand, if you go there in winter and during the day, the island is quite empty and less interesting to see.

Gorky Park is one of the TOP places to visit in Moscow, because it allows you to better understand the life of the locals and their rhythm. In fact, it’s a huge entertainment park. For example, in winter there is a giant ice rink and in summer – free dance or yoga lessons, sandy beaches for playing volleyball, an outdoor cinema. So, like the locals, have a Stakantchik (ice cream or cooked corn), and enjoy the atmosphere of the place: that’s one of the interesting things to do in Moscow to discover the city.

  • Where? Krymsky Val 9. 20 minutes’ walk from Krasny Oktyabr, along the quays.

Sparrow Hill and Moscow State University

The Sparrow Hill, Vorobiovy Gori in Russian, is the highest point in Moscow. It is rather known to Russians, but less to travelers. A nice view on Moscow opens from the hill, and in particular on the Luzhniki Stadium. In addition, on the hill itself is the Moscow State University: an impressive skyscraper from the Soviet era.

  • How to get there? By bus T7 (35 min) from Oktyaborskaya station, near Gorki Park. By metro (Vorobiovy Gorki station) + climb the hill on foot. On foot along the Moskva along the Gorky Park (1h30) + climb in funiculars.

Good to know! It is possible to cross the Moskva river by funicular. We actually tested it and it was pretty cool! That is one of our favorite things to do in Moscow!

What to do in Moscow

What to do in Moscow in 3 days?

If you are going to visit Moscow in 3 days, it would be interesting to dive into the Soviet era which strongly marked the country and the city. After the Bolshevik Revolution, the capital was transferred from Saint Petersburg to Moscow, in order to mark the change of power. Moscow then became the world showcase for communist ideology. Here are the best things to do in Moscow for 3-day-trip!

VDNKh, visit Moscow of the Soviet era

VDNKh is a large exhibition center in the north of Moscow, where there are still several striking witnesses of the USSR. The most interesting are the Museum of Cosmonauts and the Statue of the Worker and the Kolkhozian , which will certainly impress you with its size!

Visit

GULAG History Museum

The explanations of the museum are very well done. We really have the feeling of going back in time. If you are going to visit Moscow in 3 days and you are interested in history and this subject in particular, I recommend this museum. Visit the GULAG History Museum is one of the most interesting things to do in Moscow.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

Discover the Patriarche Pounds district

It’s a nice neighborhood in Moscow where you can come across rather affluent locals, but not necessarily very bling-bling. Take a walk in this area is really a cool thing to do in Moscow! In addition, the Ponds of Patriarch is one of the places of Bulgakov’s novel “Master and Margarita”. As this is an interesting area to see, we have included it in a walking tour of Moscow. The route ends at the Moscow Kremlin, which is very convenient, because you will be able to visit Moscow in 3 days by optimizing your trips.

What to visit in Moscow in 4 days: TOP things to do in Moscow in 4 days

If you want to visit Moscow in 3 days, you will already see a lot of things. On the other hand, if you stay one more day, you have plenty to do! The Novodevichy Convent, the Tchistie Proudy district and the Izmaylovo Kremlin are very good candidates for you, if you are going to visit Moscow in 4 days.

Visiting Novodevichy Convent in Moscow

The Novodevichy Convent is one of the most brilliant examples of Russian architecture, according to UNESCO. This beautiful complex was built in 1524 and today consists of the convent, but also of a cemetery whose status could be compared to that of Père-Lachaise in Paris. Visiting Novodevichy Convent is one of the great things to do in Moscow, if you want to go a little bit outside of the center!

What to see in Moscow in one day

Discovering Tchistye Proudy district

It’s one of the most popular areas of Moscow, with many cafes, restaurants and bars nearby. It is therefore a place to discover if you want to visit Moscow in 4 days. It is just as pleasant for a stroll as for the discovery of local life. For example, in winter the pond turns into an ice rink.

Visiting the Izmaylovo Kremlin, one of the coolest things to do in Moscow!

The Izmaylovo Kremlin is more of a tourist than a historic place. On the other hand, it is a pretty impressive place to discover, especially on weekends. Inside the Kremlin, there is a flea market where you can find a little bit of everything, but mostly good souvenirs to bring from Moscow. For example, chapka, traditional Russian scarves or matryoshka (Russian dolls). Add the Kremlin and the Izmaïlovo market to your itinerary if you are going to visit Moscow in 4 days, because it is a nice and very colorful place! Visiting the Izmailovo Kremlin is one of the things to do in Moscow, if you want to put colors in your Instagram account! 😉

Admiring Russian art at Tretyakov Gallery

Founded in 1856 by an industrialist and great lover of art, the gallery has grown over the decades, and then bequeathed to the state. Today the collection includes more than 140,000 pieces, 15,000 of which are paintings. Visiting the Tretyakov Gallery is one of the things to do in Moscow if you want to discover Russian art!

Walking on Arbat Street

All Russians know Rue Arbat. So, walking on Arbat street is one of the things to do in Moscow. However, after the years, little by little it became very touristy. This is a pedestrian street only. There are souvenir shops, restaurants and cafes there, but it is no longer the most authentic neighborhood in the city.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

Seeing the buildings of Moskva-City (Moscow City)

Moskva-City is Moscow’s business center, much like Paris’s Defense district. The skyscrapers of Moskva-City are among the tallest in Europe: 373 meters high! Very nice place to see at dusk.

Good to know! You can admire a nice view of Moscow City from the docks of Tarasa Shevchenko. It’s especially beautiful in the evening with all the lights on.

Bunker 42, one of the most unusual things to do in Moscow

Bunker 42 is a secret military complex which was to be used by the Soviets in the event of a nuclear attack: a space of 7000 m² 65 meters underground!

  • Prices. 2200 RUB per person
  • Opening hours. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

What to visit in Moscow in 6 days or more?

There are still so many places to see, because Moscow is a big megalopolis and there is always something exciting to do there. For example: the ancient Kolomenskoye village or the WINZAVOD contemporary art center .

If you are interested in history and want to see Russian cities on a rather “human scale”, it would certainly be interesting for you to discover the cities of the Golden Ring . For example, it is very easy to get to Sergey Posad from Moscow (less than 2 hours in train). Visiting the Golden Ring is one of the best things to do in Moscow if you are staying more than a 5-6 days.

There are still plenty of places to see in Moscow, however I did my best to list here the best things to do in Moscow, what to see in Moscow in one day, but also in 2, 3, 4 or 5 days in Moscow!

In Transit: Notes from the Underground

Jun 06 2018.

Spend some time in one of Moscow’s finest museums.

Subterranean commuting might not be anyone’s idea of a good time, but even in a city packing the war-games treasures and priceless bejeweled eggs of the Kremlin Armoury and the colossal Soviet pavilions of the VDNKh , the Metro holds up as one of Moscow’s finest museums. Just avoid rush hour.

The Metro is stunning and provides an unrivaled insight into the city’s psyche, past and present, but it also happens to be the best way to get around. Moscow has Uber, and the Russian version called Yandex Taxi , but also some nasty traffic. Metro trains come around every 90 seconds or so, at a more than 99 percent on-time rate. It’s also reasonably priced, with a single ride at 55 cents (and cheaper in bulk). From history to tickets to rules — official and not — here’s what you need to know to get started.

A Brief Introduction Buying Tickets Know Before You Go (Down) Rules An Easy Tour

A Brief Introduction

Moscow’s Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city’s beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. The first lines and tunnels were constructed with help from engineers from the London Underground, although Stalin’s secret police decided that they had learned too much about Moscow’s layout and had them arrested on espionage charges and deported.

The beauty of its stations (if not its trains) is well-documented, and certainly no accident. In its illustrious first phases and particularly after the Second World War, the greatest architects of Soviet era were recruited to create gleaming temples celebrating the Revolution, the USSR, and the war triumph. No two stations are exactly alike, and each of the classic showpieces has a theme. There are world-famous shrines to Futurist architecture, a celebration of electricity, tributes to individuals and regions of the former Soviet Union. Each marble slab, mosaic tile, or light fixture was placed with intent, all in service to a station’s aesthetic; each element, f rom the smallest brass ear of corn to a large blood-spattered sword on a World War II mural, is an essential part of the whole.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

The Metro is a monument to the Soviet propaganda project it was intended to be when it opened in 1935 with the slogan “Building a Palace for the People”. It brought the grand interiors of Imperial Russia to ordinary Muscovites, celebrated the Soviet Union’s past achievements while promising its citizens a bright Soviet future, and of course, it was a show-piece for the world to witness the might and sophistication of life in the Soviet Union.

It may be a museum, but it’s no relic. U p to nine million people use it daily, more than the London Underground and New York Subway combined. (Along with, at one time, about 20 stray dogs that learned to commute on the Metro.)

In its 80+ year history, the Metro has expanded in phases and fits and starts, in step with the fortunes of Moscow and Russia. Now, partly in preparation for the World Cup 2018, it’s also modernizing. New trains allow passengers to walk the entire length of the train without having to change carriages. The system is becoming more visitor-friendly. (There are helpful stickers on the floor marking out the best selfie spots .) But there’s a price to modernity: it’s phasing out one of its beloved institutions, the escalator attendants. Often they are middle-aged or elderly women—“ escalator grandmas ” in news accounts—who have held the post for decades, sitting in their tiny kiosks, scolding commuters for bad escalator etiquette or even bad posture, or telling jokes . They are slated to be replaced, when at all, by members of the escalator maintenance staff.

For all its achievements, the Metro lags behind Moscow’s above-ground growth, as Russia’s capital sprawls ever outwards, generating some of the world’s worst traffic jams . But since 2011, the Metro has been in the middle of an ambitious and long-overdue enlargement; 60 new stations are opening by 2020. If all goes to plan, the 2011-2020 period will have brought 125 miles of new tracks and over 100 new stations — a 40 percent increase — the fastest and largest expansion phase in any period in the Metro’s history.

Buying Tickets

  • Ticket machines have a button to switch to English.
  • You can buy specific numbers of rides: 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, or 60. Hold up fingers to show how many rides you want to buy.
  • There is also a 90-minute ticket , which gets you 1 trip on the metro plus an unlimited number of transfers on other transport (bus, tram, etc) within 90 minutes.
  • Or, you can buy day tickets with unlimited rides: one day (218₽/ US$4), three days (415₽/US$7) or seven days (830₽/US$15). Check the rates here to stay up-to-date.
  • If you’re going to be using the Metro regularly over a few days, it’s worth getting a Troika card , a contactless, refillable card you can use on all public transport. Using the Metro is cheaper with one of these: a single ride is 36₽, not 55₽. Buy them and refill them in the Metro stations, and they’re valid for 5 years, so you can keep it for next time. Or, if you have a lot of cash left on it when you leave, you can get it refunded at the Metro Service Centers at Ulitsa 1905 Goda, 25 or at Staraya Basmannaya 20, Building 1.
  • You can also buy silicone bracelets and keychains with built-in transport chips that you can use as a Troika card. (A Moscow Metro Fitbit!) So far, you can only get these at the Pushkinskaya metro station Live Helpdesk and souvenir shops in the Mayakovskaya and Trubnaya metro stations. The fare is the same as for the Troika card.
  • You can also use Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Rules, spoken and unspoken

No smoking, no drinking, no filming, no littering. Photography is allowed, although it used to be banned.

Stand to the right on the escalator. Break this rule and you risk the wrath of the legendary escalator attendants. (No shenanigans on the escalators in general.)

Get out of the way. Find an empty corner to hide in when you get off a train and need to stare at your phone. Watch out getting out of the train in general; when your train doors open, people tend to appear from nowhere or from behind ornate marble columns, walking full-speed.

Always offer your seat to elderly ladies (what are you, a monster?).

An Easy Tour

This is no Metro Marathon ( 199 stations in 20 hours ). It’s an easy tour, taking in most—though not all—of the notable stations, the bulk of it going clockwise along the Circle line, with a couple of short detours. These stations are within minutes of one another, and the whole tour should take about 1-2 hours.

Start at Mayakovskaya Metro station , at the corner of Tverskaya and Garden Ring,  Triumfalnaya Square, Moskva, Russia, 125047.

1. Mayakovskaya.  Named for Russian Futurist Movement poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and an attempt to bring to life the future he imagined in his poems. (The Futurist Movement, natch, was all about a rejecting the past and celebrating all things speed, industry, modern machines, youth, modernity.) The result: an Art Deco masterpiece that won the National Grand Prix for architecture at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. It’s all smooth, rounded shine and light, and gentle arches supported by columns of dark pink marble and stainless aircraft steel. Each of its 34 ceiling niches has a mosaic. During World War II, the station was used as an air-raid shelter and, at one point, a bunker for Stalin. He gave a subdued but rousing speech here in Nov. 6, 1941 as the Nazis bombed the city above.

Take the 3/Green line one station to:

2. Belorusskaya. Opened in 1952, named after the connected Belarussky Rail Terminal, which runs trains between Moscow and Belarus. This is a light marble affair with a white, cake-like ceiling, lined with Belorussian patterns and 12 Florentine ceiling mosaics depicting life in Belarussia when it was built.

Transfer onto the 1/Brown line. Then, one stop (clockwise) t o:

3. Novoslobodskaya.  This station was designed around the stained-glass panels, which were made in Latvia, because Alexey Dushkin, the Soviet starchitect who dreamed it up (and also designed Mayakovskaya station) couldn’t find the glass and craft locally. The stained glass is the same used for Riga’s Cathedral, and the panels feature plants, flowers, members of the Soviet intelligentsia (musician, artist, architect) and geometric shapes.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

Go two stops east on the 1/Circle line to:

4. Komsomolskaya. Named after the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, this might just be peak Stalin Metro style. Underneath the hub for three regional railways, it was intended to be a grand gateway to Moscow and is today its busiest station. It has chandeliers; a yellow ceiling with Baroque embellishments; and in the main hall, a colossal red star overlaid on golden, shimmering tiles. Designer Alexey Shchusev designed it as an homage to the speech Stalin gave at Red Square on Nov. 7, 1941, in which he invoked Russia’s illustrious military leaders as a pep talk to Soviet soldiers through the first catastrophic year of the war.   The station’s eight large mosaics are of the leaders referenced in the speech, such as Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century prince and military commander who bested German and Swedish invading armies.

One more stop clockwise to Kurskaya station,  and change onto the 3/Blue  line, and go one stop to:

5. Baumanskaya.   Opened in 1944. Named for the Bolshevik Revolutionary Nikolai Bauman , whose monument and namesake district are aboveground here. Though he seemed like a nasty piece of work (he apparently once publicly mocked a woman he had impregnated, who later hung herself), he became a Revolutionary martyr when he was killed in 1905 in a skirmish with a monarchist, who hit him on the head with part of a steel pipe. The station is in Art Deco style with atmospherically dim lighting, and a series of bronze sculptures of soldiers and homefront heroes during the War. At one end, there is a large mosaic portrait of Lenin.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

Stay on that train direction one more east to:

6. Elektrozavodskaya. As you may have guessed from the name, this station is the Metro’s tribute to all thing electrical, built in 1944 and named after a nearby lightbulb factory. It has marble bas-relief sculptures of important figures in electrical engineering, and others illustrating the Soviet Union’s war-time struggles at home. The ceiling’s recurring rows of circular lamps give the station’s main tunnel a comforting glow, and a pleasing visual effect.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

Double back two stops to Kurskaya station , and change back to the 1/Circle line. Sit tight for six stations to:

7. Kiyevskaya. This was the last station on the Circle line to be built, in 1954, completed under Nikita Khrushchev’ s guidance, as a tribute to his homeland, Ukraine. Its three large station halls feature images celebrating Ukraine’s contributions to the Soviet Union and Russo-Ukrainian unity, depicting musicians, textile-working, soldiers, farmers. (One hall has frescoes, one mosaics, and the third murals.) Shortly after it was completed, Khrushchev condemned the architectural excesses and unnecessary luxury of the Stalin era, which ushered in an epoch of more austere Metro stations. According to the legend at least, he timed the policy in part to ensure no Metro station built after could outshine Kiyevskaya.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

Change to the 3/Blue line and go one stop west.

8. Park Pobedy. This is the deepest station on the Metro, with one of the world’s longest escalators, at 413 feet. If you stand still, the escalator ride to the surface takes about three minutes .) Opened in 2003 at Victory Park, the station celebrates two of Russia’s great military victories. Each end has a mural by Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, who also designed the “ Good Defeats Evil ” statue at the UN headquarters in New York. One mural depicts the Russian generals’ victory over the French in 1812 and the other, the German surrender of 1945. The latter is particularly striking; equal parts dramatic, triumphant, and gruesome. To the side, Red Army soldiers trample Nazi flags, and if you look closely there’s some blood spatter among the detail. Still, the biggest impressions here are the marble shine of the chessboard floor pattern and the pleasingly geometric effect if you view from one end to the other.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

Keep going one more stop west to:

9. Slavyansky Bulvar.  One of the Metro’s youngest stations, it opened in 2008. With far higher ceilings than many other stations—which tend to have covered central tunnels on the platforms—it has an “open-air” feel (or as close to it as you can get, one hundred feet under). It’s an homage to French architect Hector Guimard, he of the Art Nouveau entrances for the Paris M é tro, and that’s precisely what this looks like: A Moscow homage to the Paris M é tro, with an additional forest theme. A Cyrillic twist on Guimard’s Metro-style lettering over the benches, furnished with t rees and branch motifs, including creeping vines as towering lamp-posts.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

Stay on the 3/Blue line and double back four stations to:

10. Arbatskaya. Its first iteration, Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya station, was damaged by German bombs in 1941. It was rebuilt in 1953, and designed to double as a bomb shelter in the event of nuclear war, although unusually for stations built in the post-war phase, this one doesn’t have a war theme. It may also be one of the system’s most elegant: Baroque, but toned down a little, with red marble floors and white ceilings with gilded bronze c handeliers.

prince exo3 tour lite 100

Jump back on the 3/Blue line  in the same direction and take it one more stop:

11. Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). Opened in 1938, and serving Red Square and the Kremlin . Its renowned central hall has marble columns flanked by 76 bronze statues of Soviet heroes: soldiers, students, farmers, athletes, writers, parents. Some of these statues’ appendages have a yellow sheen from decades of Moscow’s commuters rubbing them for good luck. Among the most popular for a superstitious walk-by rub: the snout of a frontier guard’s dog, a soldier’s gun (where the touch of millions of human hands have tapered the gun barrel into a fine, pointy blade), a baby’s foot, and a woman’s knee. (A brass rooster also sports the telltale gold sheen, though I am told that rubbing the rooster is thought to bring bad luck. )

Now take the escalator up, and get some fresh air.

    The EXO3 Tour 16x18 offered a very soft, comfortable feel from the baseline. Chris found the soft feel promoted spin. He said, "I was amazed at the incredibly soft feel of this racquet from the baseline. It felt very, very flexible. The response was extremely dampened, with a major emphasis on comfort.

    Prince EXO3 Tour 100 Lite Racquet Review. When I first saw the racquet marked "Lite", I figured it was going to be a racquet that has little to no pop and that the tennis ball will die on the strings.

    The truth is that the Prince EXO3 Tour 100 Lite just doesn't feel like a 'tour' or high performance racquet to me.

    An Easy Tour. A Brief Introduction. Moscow's Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city's beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s.
