Squash Racquet Review - Prince Airstick 130

PRINCE AIRSTICK 130 Squash Racquet The Prince Airstick 130 has been around for a long time and for good reason.  It is a great racquet. While not the latest offering from Prince it is still a current model that they produce.Overall this is a great racquet suitable for an attacking player. It is light and maneuverable which makes it great for volleying. It has a good sweetspot that is a little higher than centre due to the fan out string pattern.

The key features of this racquet are Triple Threat with Tungsten, Power Ring, Power Scoop and WallgliderBumper. It has a balance point of 36cm making it slightly head light.  Ramy Ashour when not sponsored by Head or Dunlop used this racquet.

Triple Threat with Tungsten - Racquet stability and maneuverability are maximized by fortifying the three Triple ThreatTM locations with Tungsten, a strong dense metal. Tungsten provides precise weight distribution, allowing further weight reduction in noncritical areas, to deliver superior sweet spot size, power, directional control, and reduced shock in a lighter weight racquet frame.

Power RingTM - Innovative and patented racquet design where all main strings wrap around an inverted ring. This provides longer, more uniform string lengths for more consistent response and greater power in a more durable frame.

Power ScoopTM - A unique shaped shaft which absorbs wall and floor impacts for more comfort and durability, yet provides full frame stiffness for maximum ball striking power.

WallgliderBumper TM Bumper - A performance bumper made from a low friction polymer, which allows the racquet to glide quickly against the walls and floor, helping to return the tightest shots with authority

Overall this is a great racquet suitable for an attacking player.  It is light and maneuverable which makes it great for volleying.  It has a good sweetspot that is a little higher than centre due to the fan out string pattern.  Overall it is a terrific racquet and definitely worth checking out!

The Prince Airstick 130 is a great racquet definitely worth checking out and is available at Control the 'T' Sports!  If you would like to learn more, or purchase the Prince Airstick 130 please click the View in store link below.
