   Giles – no the Pro Supex does not have that. It has only single stringing in the bottom. The frame of the Eye V.lite is the same as the pro supex and I also know a brand here in Holland is using that, Saxon. I think both Saxon and Eye is buying the frame from pro supex and using just a different stringing pattern?!

         Also the Eye xlite control 120 has the same frame as the Pro Supex CNT and Xamsa CNT / Xamsa PNT rackets. I read in another thread that a bunch of lesser known racket brands are using these same frames.

      @ Van Gals – that is true. Eye is just buying the frames and putting their name on them. They are not having any engineering or development department.

      The same with the squash balls. They are basically just a standard product they put a name on. Only Dunlop is developing balls and have their own production.

      There is a bunch that are using the same stuff. I don’t know the Pro Supex, but I am sure that this frame is also used by Black Knight for a model called Mercury. That is exactly the same. I think they are all just different colors and new names ?! So none of these are actually developing anything????

   I actually had the Control version, and it gave a lot of power already! I can’t imagine how much power the Power version would generate! If you can afford two different rackets, then go for it, otherwise I would agree with Carlos’ recommendation to string a Control racket with ‘power’ strings.

   Has anyone used this racket? Is it similar to the control version? do you recommend that i get both the power and control?

      The only difference is in the stringing pattern.

      I haven’t tried the V.Lite rackets (neither Power nor Control version) but if I were going to pick one it’d be the Control version.

      I tried both the X.Lite Power and Control versions and the spaces between the strings on the Power version were just too wide for me. That’s a personal preference but hope it helps.

      As Pierre said, I would choose the control version. I already have a X.Lite 120 Control, and before this racket I had a X.Lite 120 Pro Power. The difference between these rackets are huge, the power version was to much for me dealing with the power of the shots. Try with the Control version and if you want more power, change the strings using an Ashaway Powernick or other similar.

         The difference is huge, sorry for the grammatical mistake (I hope that this is the only one…)

            Thanks guys for your reply. I currently have the vlite 125 control but on the Eye website they recommend to get both the control and power versions so you can interchange the rackets depending on the court (temp etc) and opponent. That’s why k was wondering whether it was worth getting the power version. It seems strange to me that they play completely differently. Do you agree with what Eye says?

      I don’t agree with Eye in this concept anyway, if you like this racket and want more power, simply buy the same racket and strung it with a string and tension that increase the power. Doing that you could play with more options and you will have two rackets that you love for sure. As I said before I had a 120 X.Lite Pro Power and I sold it because it was too much power for me.

         I have the power and control in the 115 v lite. Unfortunately the rackets are not just different in string pattern but weight. Both strung with Dnamx 18g and Black Knight Supergrips the control is slightly head light, the power, head heavy to even. The control weighs in at 142 grams the power 160 grams yes 160 grams. Maybe they mistakenly painted a 125 power the 115 paint scheme? Got me but they are totally different rackets. Eye is thinking about my question to them so see what they say. The power control thing using different string spacing isn’t new I recently had a Prince Pro Beast 750 with the same concept and it works as advertised great spin and power. The two Eyes I have play incredibly different the control that and has plenty of power with the Dnamx in it. The power well at 160 grams it should have more power then the 142 gram control and it does. The powers spin and touch are great but rails are tighter with the control….So do I have an anomaly a one of with the115 160 gram power? Something doesn’t seem correct….. So which one do I prefer….the control feels better great for attacking and cutting off to dominate the t but the power slows the game down more full sweeping swings more of a length game just very different rackets.
         Enjoy the game!

         True, also the original Pro Supex racket has a different pattern. Not sure if the frame has exact the same balance, but for sure that feels better.
