The Head Graphene 360 Speed 135 squash racket is coming out in 2019 from Head. This appears to be the successor to the Head Graphene Touch Speed 135.

Note: there’s also a Slimbody version of this racket.

Update: the Head Graphene 360+ Speed 135 is the successor to this racket

Product Notes

This is a teardrop-shaped racket that comes with the Head Adaptive Fan pattern, which means you can string it in the traditional way (vertically) or in a fan stringing pattern (as in the picture above).

In their product listing, Control the T says:

New to the line is the Adaptive Fan Pattern stringing option. The racquet comes strung with a 12/17 stringing pattern but for those looking for a bit more control you can restring with a 16/17 stringing pattern.

In the photo above it’s a 16×17 stringing pattern.

Looks like Laura Massaro will be using this racket. She used the prior model as well.

I’m loving the feel of the new Speed 135 racket.
I think Woody approves too 😁@head_squash pic.twitter.com/iQDTIrJSZS
