I had this racket and was very disappointed that the frame weight did not even resemble 115g. My racket weighed 170g total!! That’s heavier than my 135g dunlop aerogel ultimate (132g advertised frame weight) which weighs 160g with string and grip. Sold it on and moved to an Ashaway Pro 110sl which weighs about 140 strung.

I have just bought the 2019 version of this racket. Until now I only had one session with it but I love it. Evenly balanced, a head-light, overall very light, good touch and control with the original strings.
Honestly, I went to the store with the intention of buying the 120 Shabana version – that was out of stock, I picked up the 110 Barrington that was labeled also as a head-light racket, but is was way more head-heavy than the 115 pro series (2019) that I finally chose.
I believe this is a good choice for an advanced amateur. The head size is a bit smaller than that of the closed-throat rackets from Eye’s signature series, but I had no issues with this smaller but traditional head shape.

It looks like Moverley is using the pink 115 in Nantes against Louw?

Thanks Lloyd. I think it might be the 120 Control (at least it looks like it in this photo)

I had a recent email exchange with eye rackets, as an avid user of the X Lite 110 Pro Control, I was looking to see if I could get some more/if they were continuing to make this. However they confirmed that this is being replaced by the X Lite 115 Control. It seems like the smaller head size rackets will now be named the same way but with different weights (would be interesting to see how different they actually end up being).
On another note, I also asked about the Eye shoes. They have confirmed that these will be available for sale in July/August.
