I got this racket as part of the Squashgalaxy demo program. It weighed in at 151g on my scale (including grip, strings + strip of bumper tape that Squashgalaxy puts on all their demo rackets). The balance point is detailed as Even on the racket and that felt right in the hand and is a balance that I typically enjoy. The head size is 475cm squared and so slightly smaller than the other head shapes in the Head lineup. I liked the cosmetic of the racket as well as the overall head shape. It’s been a while since I’ve played a classic racket head design with a full size bridge and I was pleasantly surprised by the power I was able to generate with it. The slim body design made it slightly easier to pick tight balls off the side wall on a more consistent basis. I felt like my volleying improved a little bit with this racket compared to my gamer (Dunlop Hyperfibre+ Evolution 130) and there was definitely one great volley drop I hit off a dropping ball that I felt I wouldn’t have made with my Dunlop. Of the 3 Head rackets I tried this one was my favorite and I definitely strongly considered ordering 2 to have as my go to racket going forward. Ultimately I didn’t do it because I didn’t think it was enough of an upgrade to justify spending my money on 2 new rackets but it was a close run thing. If one of my Dunlops breaks in the next 6 months I think this will be my next racket.

Hey Pierre and friends
Has anyone been able to compare this model (or the new 2020 model model) to the 2016 Eye Racket X Lite 120 Amr Shabana Racket – the nice purple one?
With the new Eye signature range I’ve felt the new Amr Shabana one is more head heavy and didn’t suit me so I am looking for a replacement. Interest in this ridiculously named head racket or the 202 version version.
Any assistance is appreciated.

This is a super slick racquet. I loved the 135 SB, and this one is even better I think. It sacrifices a little bit of power for I think better control and more ability to get behind fast balls / volleys. Awesome, imo way better than any tecnifibre or dunlop racquet.
