I've mentioned before that I've always found Black Knight to be a great brand for designing a **variety of squash racquets** that *cater to all styles and abilities*. The Hex Blaze LT, like other racquets in Black Knight's 'Hex' series, is designed for players looking for power, responsiveness, and lightning-quick maneuverability. 

### Looks

The Blaze LT has a very **vibrant colour scheme**, primarily consisting of a **glossy purple colour**, and also featuring **white, yellow, and blue**. The racquet also comes fully strung with orange **Ashaway Supernick ZX strings.** *So yeah, it's pretty bright!*

There's also **Black Knight branding** all over the racquet, including a nod to Black knight's **Canadian origin**, and the LT has a **teardrop frame shape**, which is supposed to provide the user with an ***increased level of power.***

***I'm pretty excited to try this one out!***

### In hand

With a **head-light balance point**, and a **130 gram unstrung frame weight**, the Hex Blaze LT *feels pretty quick to use!* After some practice swings, I felt like this racquet really **helps out with a short swing,** and **taking the ball early.**

This kind of weighting may mainly complement the short punchy swing, however, **in terms of stiffness**, this racquet is *right in the middle*. As it's not too stiff, I'm hoping to be able to get a **good feel of the ball**, as well as a **decent level of power!**

### Hitting the ball

Wow, the **long mains strings** provided by the teardrop shape provide *all the power you need*. Although it's **light**, you can seriously *crack the ball* if you want to!

The **14x18 string pattern**, and **generous 490cm2 head size**, both assist well with ***control***. The Black LT's *sweet spot is a good size*, which is great if you're **taking balls early** as off-centre hits are much *more likely to be forgiven.*

Finally, I've got to mention the *incredibly popular* **Ashaway SuperNick ZX strings** the racquet comes fully strung with, they seem to **hold tension very well**, and have a great soft feel to them.

### Overall

I love it! *Very responsive, very powerful, and very fast*, what more could you ask for?
