You made a great job in the past …. but didn’t hear anything new recently from you

Have a good one …

First impressions:
An excellent racket. The racket feels solid without vibration annoyances when you hit the ball, and it is very very powerful. I can hit a ball at such high speeds with ease with good control. The ball comes off the racket quite quickly and you can still control your shots rather nicely. There really is a good balance of power and control in this racket. There is no hollow feeling when you strike the ball on your racket unlike the Dunlop or Wilson, so that you can generate plenty of power without having to swing much quicker. I sometimes find it hard to maintain my speed in the game near the end of matches and power is usually sacrificed and the game pace slows with the Dunlops.

The racket feels a little bit head heavy (slightly off centre from even balance) whereas the Dunlops I own feel a little bit head light. From holding the rackets of Dunlop vs Basaltax, the Basaltax though rated at 130g, feels heavier than the Max and the Pro-GT. Although the Wilson n120 is also head heavy, the weight to balance doesn’t feel right as the racket is way too head heavy to compensate for its light frame. The Wilson nTour feels the most even balanced.

The grip is a little wider/bigger than the Dunlops and Wilsons, and a little smaller than the Head square grips.

I used to dislike the older technifibre rackets due to its low manoeuvrability, but the new ones have a much improved weight to balance ratio. Although I have yet played any games with the racket, the Technifibre feels almost unbreakable compared to the Dunlops or Wilsons (even though they are also very sturdy in their own rights).

I have to say I am very impressed so far with the racket. The pre strung TF fibres is a very welcomed bonus.

So far my preference with the range of rackets I have is: TF Basaltax 130 > Dunlop Pro-GT > Wilson nTour > Head liquid metal 120 > Dunlop Biomimetic Max > Wilson nTeam > Head liquid metal 140

I was wondering, are you still updating it? I’ve seen some new reviews of the latest Head rackets, but have seen an overhaul of many brands lines recently – Prince have this strange Exo3 thing that James Willstrop is using. Dunlop are now “inspired by nature” and have a compete new line up, Wilson have some very funky colored things hitting the market. Technifibre have released new models, including a slightly ghastly metallic green replacement for the Suprem NG130, and look to have expanded their range some. I’ve also become aware of other somewhat lesser known brands (at least where I’m from in York) – a UK brand called Mantis, Black Knight based in Canada (rumored to make near bullet proof rackets), and Harrow who are bigger in the US than here. I’d be very interested to know how these match up against the better known brands featured on this site.

This site has been wonderful for satisfying my curiosity about how the various squash rackets in the world play, will there be more coming?

Thanks for doing such a great job!
