   Hi
   Purchased the Wilson ultra ul squash racket this week, solid racket, with lots of power. Restrung it with ultranick 18 (sky blue), matches the sky blue frame. The tension is at 22llb. Well pleased

   Brent,
   I just got in and weighted/balanced a couple Ultra UL’s.
   Looks like the strung weight on overage is at 136 grams and the balance is a whopping 390mm Head heavy or 14 points Head heavy. *
   I am surprised to see it so head heavy, it certainly has a light pick up feel.

   * Adding a basic over grip adds 5 grams of weight and the balance point drops to 380mm.
   For comparison, the new Tecnifibre Carboflex x-speed 125 weights in at 146 grams and 360mm balance.

   Pierre,

   Any chance of a review on the Wilson Blade Countervail and the Ultra Countervail? I’m interested in the 137 g frames,I bet easy power from these,without losing too much control

      Hi Andrew,

      I got a chance to use the Blade Countervail the other day for a short period of time whilst doing routines.

      The racket has quite a light pick up and has virtually no vibration, I personally felt I could produce a nice amount of cut from on the ball, however it was strung with Technifibre Dynamx which would help. My friend who has religiously used Prince for years said he would not go back after using Wilson. An impressive step up in quality from Wilson.
      Power wise I did not feel I was lacking in power however I would not consider it a racket to use if specifically looking for more power on the drives.
      Overall feels nice and a nice weight to it. Paired with some 305 strings could be a nice killer at the front of the court.

      Hope this helps will try to get another chance to use it and provide a more in detail review.

         Thanks Ben,
         Am interested in these Countervail rackets particularly the CV ultra with the 137 g frame weight and I think it has an even balance with a longer string bed?
         Would love some feedback on this racket with some ideas of a suitable string upgrade,I lean towards Technifbre bi phase red power string to get good length in my game

      I’ve just got a Blade Countervail from a demo program. I’ll post a review on here at the weekend after I’ve taken it for a hit. I’ve also got the Tecnifibre X-Speed 125 and a Dunlop Hyperfibre Evolution to try out and I’ll post reviews of those too.

   Hi Pierre,
   I thought I would mention we have been selling the new Wilson Ultra UL for a couple months now and it has been checking out well here in Canada.
   Nice weight at 127 grams and 11 points head heavy makes this an easy swinging power racquet.
   Switching out the strings definitely improves the performance (Tecnifibre 305 or the new Salming Black Diamond) and the grip can use an overgrip for most guys.

      Larry,

      Any chance we can get a strung weight? Based on my experience with Wilson’s advertised weight, I’m guessing the “ready-to-play” weight is ~145g?
