   Bought a Salming Fusione Aero Vectran -> Great racket with a lot of power and good touch until it starts developing cracks. My racket started developing small hairline cracks on the inside area of the closed throat. Definitely not due to impact. Really gutted, as I enjoy the racket. Trying to get some response or help in this regard from Salming directly or the local dealer was totally pointless. You will not get any feedback or Customer interaction from Salming at all! The local dealer does not provide feedback either and just tries to ignore you in hoping you will go away eventually. My advice is to not buy a Salming racket, rather make use of the other reputable brands that actually support their own products.

     I’ve emailed Salming support with questions about their rackets and got a reply within the next day, try again!

       Tried and tried again …..after a few emails to various different mail addresses I could find I got a response and Salming has decided to replace the racket. SO I cannot fault them standing by their product…………it did take a few attempts though! 🙂

       Yes, just their shoes and apparel. He’ll still use his signature Prince racket.

   I bought an Aero Vectran Forza and after two weeks of play here are my thoughts…

   The good… Light, but not feather light; feels well balanced in your hand, and I was able to hit fairly well with it from day one. Just a comfortable racquet to play with. Quick and easy to maneuver. Some power and control, but you need to be hitting the sweet spot consistently.

   The bad… Small sweet spot, and the string type it came with is not to my liking at all (feels hard, and was not helped by manufacturer string tension). Also, the racquet has an unusual string pattern — fairly tight second to ninth row, then it opens up really wide in the lower middle to bottom area (it’s got a fairly immediate drastic jump from tight to wide). The string pattern is the only element of the design I question; along with the manufacturer strings that is, which I would replace with something a little softer, and at a lower tension (which might help off-center shots and add power).

   My opinion is that this racquet is for the higher level player. I felt that you needed to keep the ball in the middle of the third to ninth row (the top third of the racquet face) or the ball would not do what you wanted. It is not a forgiving racquet. But when the ball was hit in this area of the face, the control was excellent, and the power was there.

   This won’t be a keeper for me, but in the hands of someone who is able to consistently hit the slightly small sweet spot, and likes a light racquet that just feels good in your hand, it most certainly could be.

   Squash play history… Over thirty years playing the game, and currently a local 5.0 level player. Experience playing with Harrow, Dunlop, Wilson, Prince, Technifibre, and Head racquets.

   Has Tom Richards gone to salming racquets? See on squashskills website, on one of the videos it looks like he is using a salming.
