The Karakal Air Touch, a mid-price racket from Karakal.
Per Karakal, this is the same frame shape as the Karakal T-120, but a bit lighter in the head:
The Karakal Air Touch Squash Racket is based on our T Series frames. This is a simplified version of the Karakal T-120 and maintains the 4 Graphite nodes around the frame to help smooth out vibration, increase stiffness and provide more power and control.
The Air Touch has a 120-gram frame weight, so if you love the T series frames, but they are a little out of your price range, this could be the racket for you. The shaft design is also from the T-120, with the A Power shaft and power wings helping lateral stability and reducing torque from off centre hits. However, the balance of this racket differs slightly from its counterpart, with a balance point at 365mm and a compact midsize head that is fast through the air.

I tried one of these on demo. Felt pretty good. I’m not sure what it is about Karakal rackets that I don’t get on with very well – possible lacking a solid enough feeling when hitting – but didn’t have a lot of time to get used to it.
These are the specs I measured.
Total weight: 158g
Weight measured at head: 83g
Weight measured at handle: 75g
Balance point: 360mm

Has anyone tried any of these Air series rackets?
