Karakal Raw Pro 2.0 Info
I believe this racket came out sometime late last year, and I’m only just posting it. Here’s Joel with his frame:
The racket basically looks like a Carboflex frame. Joel has been using this frame shape his whole career. Sound like Karakal have taken Joel’s feedback on his preferred weight and balance in order to produce his signature racket to his liking.
Karakal Raw Pro 2.0 Reviews
I’ve not tried this racket myself but here’s a review from PDH Sports:
Lawrence writes in to say:
- Frame feels light – about 115g [all in]
- Frame feels flexible, not stiff
- Even balance
- Decent power on drives and accuracy was pretty good
- Feels good to be able to whip the racket, flick it, and just smash the ball against the nice (most rackets nowadays are just too stiff)
Thanks Lawrence!
