Karakal Core Shadow 165 Racquetball Racquet

Manufactured using NEXGEN Fast Fibre graphite and taking the advantages of graphene combined with unique braiding technology, the CORE Shadow rackets are further enhanced with the NEXGEN fast fibre construction layup process. This delivers an additional 15% Faster return to shape than conventional layups which takes control, accuracy, and power of play to the next level. The flattened tapered throat area gives the racket excellent lateral stability and helps to reduce torque. The adjusted specifications on this legal length racket made the handle the same length as Squash Rackets and developed a compact head shape. The result of these adjustments means the playability of this racket is remarkably like a Squash Racket which makes the transition between the sports much easier.

The Core bridge has the effect of creating longer strings and larger sweet spot, with a modification to the existing Core bridge and a widened fan string pattern shifting the sweet spot further up the

head and increasing the size/ This also gives the string greater coverage inside the frame.

A new string compliments this frame, the Hot Zone Power 127. Ideal for players looking for power and accuracy in their play. With the environment in mind all our new top end rackets now come with a Full Bag Eco Cover, made with soft Eco fleece material, which is 100% recyclable. It is of course fitted with the No. 1 Karakal PU Super Grip

*Measured Specs are the average physical weights & balances of racquets that we have checked instore. This is to allow you to accurately compare racquets in their completed states, (as you would use while playing a match). Due to manufacturer tolerances (generally +/- 5g) individual racquets may vary from this figure. 

As there is no set standard regarding at what point a racquet is weighed/balanced, so what may be a 140g from one manufacturer may differ from a 140g racquet by another. The wights stated by manufacturers could be at any point during constriction, raw frame, painted frame (adds 5-10g), assembled but unstrung, or fully completed.
