    Quick review for this racket based on 2 hits I’ve had with it this past week. The good: pretty much everything. I enjoyed the balance of the racket straight out of the box and to me it felt like an even balance. To play with this is a really solid feeling racket. The ball comes off the strings with a lot of power and I had a really nice level of control on all my shots. Factory strings felt pretty nice too which is always a bonus. Now the only negative aspect to this racket is the chunkiness of the frame. Especially when compared to thin beam rackets like my BK Ion Element and the Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Speed. I don’t care about the thickness of the shaft but the top beam is just really chunky. I play at a fairly high level and I just feel like this racket is going to cost me multiple points a match solely on not being able to pick those tight balls off the wall. As for the Countervail tech, I was play testing multiple rackets at the same time so I couldn’t tell if it makes a difference. Bottom line, this is a really good racket and if you play at a level where opponents aren’t playing consistent straight drives then this racket is a really good option given that it is a bit cheaper than the top end racket from many other brands.

    Anybody out there using this stick? I’m considering getting one as I like the frame shape and the racket specs but I don’t know anyone using it and have no stockists in the area, meaning I’d have to order one without ever picking it up.

      It looks like the Asics Gel Blade 5 but a color scheme I haven’t seen before. Nicol has had custom Asics in the past so these could be custom colors… or just one I haven’t seen before 🙂

    p.s.: Not the blade light, which I mistakenly tipped minutes ago…
