Recently bought this racket and very pleased with it performance. First time playing with this brand after using Wilson and Technofibre for many years. It not as expensive as some of the other top range rackets.
Its grip is slightly more square than round in shape than the other rackets I have used. This is great for more control & comfort. From hitting length balls I do find the ball does tend to skid lower more. Its possible that I am more used to playing with 120g to 125g rackets.

I have mainly used the Head 125 microgel for several years, I had the 135 ignition in my bag as a spare, never used. Started using this racket and now struggle to go back to the 125. The feel is good, great balance, power of the racket head using less energy is great. I play open level in Australia, but am confident that this racket would suit all level players,

Have you ever weighted the racket?

It’s disappointing that this blog has no real reviews, no advice for players at any level, no tips on how, say, the Head Ignition 145 compares to other Head models, what sort of player it’s ideal for — none of that. It’s just a gateway to buying stuff, like an add-on for Amazon. A little writing effort from someone who, I’m sure, knows a lot about the game would have been so much more helpful. If I know I want to buy it, I’ll just buy it!

Hi Urchin, I’ve never tried this racket, but I try to post every squash product that I spot, so that other squash players can leave a review if they feel inclined.
