Karakal Squash Rackets

Karakal squash rackets are used by some of the top pro squash players, including Tesni Evans, Joel Makin, Greg Lobban, Tom Richards, and Cameron Pilley. They’ve got a few different designs, including traditional head shapes, teardrops, and some “power ring”-style frames as well.

2018

Just starting to post all the 2018 Karakal squash rackets. In general it seems Karakal has kept the frames pretty much the same as last year, except they’ve updated the strings to Karakal’s Hot Zone 120, and tweaked the colors of the frames, grips and grommets.

2015/2016

The rackets below are from their 2015 – 2016 range. I have never tried Karakal squash rackets myself, but I was able to cull this info from their 2015 catalog.

First you have the “S” series of rackets, including the Karakal S Pro Elite, which some pros use; the Karakal SN-90 FF, which they claim is the world’s lightest squash racket; and the slightly heavier Karakal S-100 FF, and Karakal S-110 FF. They’re all teardrop-shaped, with a fan stringing pattern, and a small head size (455 sq. cm.). As an example, here’s the SN 90 FF, the one Karakal says is the lightest squash racket in the world:

Next we have the “T” Series, which includes the Karakal Tec Pro Elite (which is used by several pros), Karakal T-120 FF and the Karakal T-Edge FF. These have a conventional head shape:

---

After that you have the “X” series, which includes the Karakal X-125 FF, the Karakal X-Slam FF, and the Karakal MX 125 Superlight. These are also teardrop-shaped but have a regular stringing pattern and a medium head size (480 sq. cm.). Here’s an example, the X-125 FF:
