This is the Eye X.Lite 110 Power — part of the Eye squash rackets lineup. This is the same frame weight as the Eye X.Lite 110 Control.
Here’s the 2017 version. Interestingly, this has a 14 x 18 stringing pattern, which is different from the original version below. So, I’m no longer sure what the difference is between the Power and Control versions.

I bought this racket few months ago, after buy the X Lite 120. I liked the 120 Shabana model, but I felt it a bit heavy. So I decided to try the X lite 110 model and, for my surprise, it was even heavier then the 120 model. I can’t believe that yet!
In the first moment, I felt it in my hand. After that, I used a precision scale to be sure about this difference. The 110 model was about 175 grams and the 120 model was about 155 grams.
I tried to contact by e-mail with Eye Rackets support and, only after my insistence, they answered me. I had sent pictures of the rackets in the scale for them, but they contested the pictures and send me anothers, whit differents weights. In their pictures the 110 was 152 grams and the 120 was 153. I believe more in my pictures of the rackets in the scale then their pictures. And, come on!! 1 g of difference? What?
I’m sorry Eye, but you are tricking the costumers. I’m very disappointed with Eye rackets. I’m a amateur but very enthusiastic player and I was expecting a very nice product and now I’m feeling like I got tricked or cheated. I’m gonna come back to my Prince Rackets.
Eye Rackets? NEVER MORE!

Try weighing any racquet that you’ve ever owned and the weight will be wrong. I used to work in a racquet shop and we weighed every racquet in the the store with the strings and grip taken off. The only brand of racquets that came close to their advertised weight was Harrow, which advertise their lightest racquets to be 130 grams. The rest all lie about their weight, and in some cases, racquets that were supposed to be lighter were actually heavier than their counterparts (we had one instance of a Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 weighing more that the 130)
This is not a problem exclusive to Eye racquets. This is an issue that racquet companies want to offer the lightest racquet because consumers believe that is best. Trust me, you would not want to play with a racquet that actually weighed 110 grams. It would crack the first time you bumped it into the wall.
