Yeah so the Head Graphene Xenon 145 is one of the latest Head squash rackets and it’s the heaviest of this head shape. There’s also the Head Graphene Neon 130, Head Graphene Xenon 135, and Head Graphene Neon 140. Phew.
Update: this racket is being replaced in the Head lineup by the Head Graphene XT Xenon 145

Here’s a review from Paul from PDH Sports:

Hi,
Does the specified weight includes the string weight? I am a bit confused, I would appreciate your help.

145grams does not include string weight. Mine was 175gram and 35,2 balance, with factory strings and grip. Ole

Hi Ole,
Thanks for the response. I really appreciate it.
Is there a rule of thumb for Head Racquets? 30gm is alot for string weight, is it standard?

Hi Nalin
I also have two Head Cyano 120 with factory weights 149 and 154grams, and one Cyano 135 weight 158g, so I guess in the Head racket universe it could be a rough rule of thumb to add 30 grams. They probably refer to the weight of frame only, so strings, bumper and grip weight must be added. God rackets though! Ole

Can anyone tell me if this line has a so-called “Head” handle? I can’t really describe it as I haven’t tried one in years, but some of Head’s racquets’ have a different feeling handle shape.

Hi Brent
I have this racket. Compared to my many other racket brands I think it’s noting different with this handle (to qualify to be named “Head handle”). Handle is oval, towards little flat on the long sides and fairly slim. So for big hands needs little thicker grip, similar to ex. Carboflex 125. Other than that the but cap has a little different design/construction, but does not not give unusual shape.
Good stiff and heavy racket!

Hello Pierre,
the previous model of this racket (Head Graphene Xenon 145) it’s the Head Argon² Limited Edition, since it have the same shape, balance and weight (460 sq. cm, 145grm and 33cm of balance).
So I think we can consider as the previous model.
We can check it at in our own website.
