The signature one costs more. That’s the only difference.

Just curious where you saw this for $35? I’d like to try one out and for $35 I’d definitely grab one.

In the Middle East, where I’m not sure the shop knew what it was selling!

Got the 2013 version in the sales recently for a bargain $35. Enjoyed it so much I went back and got another before the sale ended.
I’d say the racket is evenly balanced and generates good power for the control it offers. It’s a bit like Nick Matthew himself – not much spare weight but feel the force!

If you were looking for a replacement which is most similar out of all other racquets ?
I have the 2012 and 2013 but will need new racquets 2015

Im lucky enough to have had a hit with both racquets recently and the 2013 version feels a bit nicer to me for some reason however that may be because i like an even balance. Great power on the volleys and great control aswell!

I love this racket. it has incredible power while still offering outstanding control. I personally like the 2013 version better, but they’re both incredible. 10/10
