    Hi all,

    for any serious player who demands a total dominance in power playing, I totally suggest to use this racket.

    personally I was using HEAD ti 120 pro, now I have recently purchased this and to my surprise it is extremely powerful. Although the patterns are different and I have added some extra tension tune ups to my ti 120 pro, but this factory strung XT Cyano 135 is just awesome!

    PS: I have recently found your blog, good job Pierre!

    Any differences between the older Head Graphene Cyano 135 (2013) and this newer Head Graphene XT Cyano 135 (2015)?

    Is it just the cosmetics and the extra word ‘XT’ ? Profile (weight,balance,shape,etc) is exactly the same…

    Thinking of getting the older model which is on offer…

      Sorry, haven’t tried either of these. They do seem very similar and I’d be tempted to give the older one a whirl first.

      Dear kkc88,

      Well i have both The 2013 & 2015 Head Graphene Cyano 135g models.

      The feeling is different with the new model, i think it’s the weight distribution and the Technology enhancement made on the previous version ( 2 years of hard work!!! ): i felt it’s lighter and you can swing faster with the new model keeping in mind both models carry the same DNA characteristics !

      my advise is to try the demo versions of both racquets and you will figure out the difference.

      Personally i switched to the Cyano 120 XT Model, because it’s lighter and fit my game * front court attacking player*. also i’ve tried the 110 XT (mm not a big fan) it’s a matter of control, the 135 model is power + control, the 110 XT model is pure power.

        Hi Nawar,

        Thanks for your feedback and you are right about the feel of these two rackets. I demoed both 2013 and 2015 model and find 2015 a little more comfortable with almost no vibration. 2013 model felt a bit stiff.

          I totally agree with you. it’s like they sculpted the 2013 model into a better thing. it is a complete racket for any pro player.

          the trick here is how to hold this racket: from its bottom to generate even more power, same applies to the Cyano 120 XT model.

          Cheers !

        Hi Nawar,

        I’m currently using Graphene Cyano 115 (2013) model. Any difference between this older model and the Cyano 110 XT (2015) newer model?

          Hi kkc88,

          Unfortunately i never tried the Cyano 115, but as mentioned before i’ve tried the 110 XT its light, pure power & good in cut/slice the ball but definitely not the same feeling as in 120 XT & 135 XT models.. it’s more likely that these models are weaponized with a self guidance system ! easier to direct the ball with precision.

      On the side of the racket recommenced string tension is 13/11 kg or 29/24 LBS, so I think they have used these tensions in factory.

        Hello, when you state these tensions do they correspond to the horizontal and vertical strings respectively or does that indicate the range? Thank you.

          I would say that first are horizontal and the vertical strings in tension. Because as you string, first you put horizontal and then vertical, but this is only my guess with common sense. 😀

          Hope this helps!

    I have used Head Graphene XT Cyano 135 now few months and got to say that this is one of most powerful racket what I have used! Huge amount of power and generating it is so easy, thanks to the head light balance. But still control is also phenomenal, so I would say this is pretty complete racket in every aspect.
    The factory string (Perfect power 1.25) worked well with the racket, but unfortunately the string broke just the week after playing with it. Strung the racket with Ashaway Supenick ZX and I think it adds even more power but still gives you loads of control hit your dropshots to the nick.

    The Head Graphene XT 135 is my ” Go To ” racket. Terrific power and control. The ease with which you can generate power is nominal as compared to any other racket I have used. I have a Tecnifibre 125 and a Prince Pro Beast 750.

    The strings used are Head Perfect Power 125 and work well with the racket. I would even add that if you are playing and getting tired just switch to this racket ! Its fun and really powerful. There are no vibrations either.
