   I play with the Technifibre Carbonflex 130 and I have tried the Head 130 a few times. If you concentrate and you hit correctly it delivers an unprecedented power and you can control what you do at the same time. I felt on the other hand it being too stiff for my taste and it needs time to get used to it. I would guess that in a few months that I would be better in my game i would be able to control the racket better. It is an excellent racket for those you want to feel the weight of the racket.

   i m using this 130 neon quite often now(sometimes i use Prince exo3 pro tour in a cold court to get extra power), what can i say personally about this racket, it has a great power without sacrificing the control, i not really a fan of the head string so i strung this one with the ashaway super nick XL micro which gave me more precised and control in every shot and also extra spin. it really feel head heavy in hand but it is light enough to get into the volley shots. i stripped off the plastic bumper and i feel quite like it.The light material graphene really generate easier swing. when i first use this, i quite surprised with the improvements of my drop shots… so dont worry much about the big cumbersome head sure it will take times to get used to it but i really like to use any head racket because of the crisp feel. and yes, it does have the typical head feel. trust me…

   I’m trying to decide between the Head Graphene 130 and 135. I currently play with a Dunlop Tour CX 2012 model, which I love. I just want to get a second and think I want one of these two from Head. I’m 31 years old and somewhat new to squash, although picking it up quick. Any advice would be great! Thanks!

      Hi Garrick, I tried the Head Graphene 135 and personally didn’t care for it. My notes on it were “neither here nor there” which I think meant I couldn’t get a feel for the touch but also wasn’t generating much power. I had much more fun with the 130 above.

      Let us know which you end up going with!

   Does it have a typical ‘head’ racket feel? in the sense that it’s stiff and not much touch to your swing?

      Hi Geoff its tough for me to say if it’s “Head-like” because I haven’t used Head rackets very much but I would agree the frame was a bit stiff. I hit some nice drops with the racket but more because the racket encourages a complete follow-through.

   Hi Piere,

   I use this racket and can’t reccomend it highly enough. Perfect balance providing efforless power as well as great touch at the front of the court. Due to the light weight frame you can attack the ball early and volley with ease.
   As always Paul from pdh sports as done a great product review of this racket and it can be found on YouTube. I would be happy to answer any questions people had about this racket. (Pierre, treat yourself and get one!)

      There’s not a lot said about this racket on the web. But having read your review and seeing this racket rated right at the top for control on squash galaxy:

      Can’t wait for mine to arrive, hoping it will be a satisfactory replacement for my Prince Airstick 130

      I’ll post a review for the Graphene once I’ve had a few games with it.
