Squash Racquet Review - Prince Airstick 130

Written by Jeff Warren | Jan 11, 2011 1:39:46 PM
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!
