Harrow Vapor

56 Comments

This is the Harrow Vapor. Why is this called the Vapor? It’s because when you slice this racket through the air, it leaves behind a trail of water vapor. Not from the racket itself, but from the eyes of your opponent, as they weep, softly.

Here’s my review. I like it.

The product description on this racket makes me cringe a little bit:

It’s time to get irie with the newest design of Harrow’s best selling racquet around the world. With the same performance and playability that you have come to expect from the Vapor, this jammin’ makeover is sure to improve your game and style, mon.

Maybe this is the racket Bob Marley would have played squash with. Speaking of Bob Marley, did you ever watch the documentary called Marley? At one point, his son Ziggy Marley tells this story of how Bob used to challenge his kids to running races, but instead of letting his kids win, Bob would run as FAST as he possibly could. You should watch the documentary. Mon.


Old-School Vapors

I didn’t even know these existed until Dan tipped me off to them:

Dan also sourced this image of a young Laura Massaro using the Vapor! I never knew.

Here’s what this 2006 post on squashplayer.co.uk had to say about the future world champ:

In March 2006 Harrow Sports announced that English squash pro Laura Jane Lengthorn signed a multi-year agreement to play on Team Harrow.

A pro since 2002, Laura is currently #13 on the WISPA Tour.

Following an impressive Junior campaign where she won National titles at U14, U15, U17 and U19 (twice) Laura has rapidly moved up to her current top 15 position.

Aw… baby Laura.

        What’s the Vapour Misfit like compared to the Shabana Eye racket?
