Product Notes
Marwan has been using the Harrow Silk for years. This new racket, the Harrow Response, is also teardrop-shaped but from the picture appears to be a slightly different frame.
Harrow says the racket has a “new trap door end cap”. I guess that means if there’s a bit of graphite rattling around inside the frame (which is rare but super annoying) you can open the trap door and shake it out.
Check out Marwan’s signature on the side of the frame:

I won one of these rackets in an online competition. I love my Head Youtek IG Tour 120. I think it feels great and is excellent value for money, but I will definitely be starting to use the Harrow Response as my main racket. It feels quite similar weightwise, but I seem to just hit a lot tighter with it, perhaps it’s the denser string pattern, or perhaps it’s just psychological since it costs twice as much as my other racket, but it’s lovely.

I am wondering if this is an entirely new racquet or a rebranded Harrow Renegade as the specs are the same. I question why he didn’t utilize a silk for a signature edition, however the string tension is high for a Harrow at 30lbs tension.
I’d like to overlay this racquet to a Silk and Renegade to see how the frames line up.
