Camille Serme posted on her Facebook page that she will be partnering with Artengo Squash Rackets to launch a new series of high-end rackets. Evidently she’ll be ditching her Prince Pro Rebel 950.

Here’s a weird promo video announcing the partnership, which appears to feature a left-handed Camille Serme look-alike:
Here’s a closer shot of Camille with her Artengo racket. I think the model is called SR990.

I’ve never heard of Artengo squash rackets before this. Here’s a site with a few of their rackets, all under £40.
Artengo contacted me recently and is sending me a few rackets to review, so I should know more soon!
Thanks to Bernard and Lloyd for the tips.

I’ve heard Prince are in dire financial situation. In tennis they’ve lost big name like Ferrer to babolat

Serme has started playing with this racket as of the world series finals

Tarek is signed to Harrow. I believe a new racket is being developed for him but I don’t know which frame it is based on.

It’s called the Harrow Reflex but I’m not sure which frame it’s based on

I gave Tarek several Reflexes to try at the British Open over a year ago. We had one weighted and balanced to match his Prince (all done by Nick Down) but he still doesn’t use it.

Looks like prince have lost all their big names again, along with Willstrop leaving for unsquashable. I notice Momen is playing with a unbranded exo-red, Abouelghar and David with unbranded rebels. Looks like the 2017 range doesn’t even include the tour or rebel models. Seems Ashour is the only player still playing a branded racket.
Any idea what the issue is? I think I read they’ve moved production to a new factory or is it a repeat of the financial issue of a few years back.

I read somewhere that Willstrop and Ghosal were filing a law suit against Prince for ‘misuse of imagery’ i think? I believe they’re probably going through the same financial struggles as before.

Thanks for that. It’s a shame. I do like Prince rackets and one shouldn’t be swayed by which pro’s are using what gear, but I think quality control suffered the last time they went through this sort of thing.
