The racket’s name makes it sound like an extension of the Black Knight Ion Element PSX, but as you’ll read below, it may actually be a newer version of the Magnum Corona 6.
I first heard about this one from Essex Junior Squash:

Fred Chin also wrote in to let me know about this racket. Here’s Fred’s breakdown of the difference between the original PSX and the Selby signature version.
The PSX Selby is 5 grams heavier than the standard PSX, and sports the same frame weight and dynamic weight as the Magnum Corona 6. It is also slightly more powerful than the standard PSX. String-wise, the standard PSX comes with PowerNick 19 (black, 1.05mm), whereas the PSX Selby comes with UltraNick 18 (light blue, 1.15mm), which was seen strung on his Corona 6 at the 2014 British Open and at subsequent games onwards.
Thanks to both!

I’m a little confused by this post. Isn’t this a new raquet for 2016? The blog post is dated 2014, comments range in dates as well. Also, the standard ION Element is same weight 135g, not 5 grams lighter.

Anyone knows what’s the stock tension on this racket? Or what’s the tension Daryl Selby uses when he restrings?

Hi Harold,
Do you get a lot of vibration on this racket or is it just mine? Hitting the strings with my palm already generates much vibration, trying to determine if mine’s damaged/cracked somewhere within the frame.
Thanks.
