With an unstrung weight of 120 grams, and a head-light balance point, this is an exceptionally light squash racquet, making it very fast, and great for quick, short-swing volleys. The 16x17 string pattern is more on the dense side, which will assist control, although it's still open enough to access some power. With the new Prince range, it certainly seems that durability has been a focus as all the racquets are created with TeXtreme X Twaron material.
