Heaviest frame from the Graphene lineup, smaller head size and head light balance – the Xenon 145 offers excellent control and touch and surprisingly good maneuverability.
Reviews:
The heaviest squash racket in the Head Graphene lineup, Xenon 145, presents an interesting combination of attributes – small head, larger weight but a head light balance. So what playing capabilities does this mix offer?
The smaller, closed-shape head provides awesome control, feel and touch, it’s great for drop shots and technical game in general.

The frame is nicely stiff and due to the larger weight it may seem unwieldy – but thanks to the head light balance that’s just not the case. The maneuverability is surprisingly good, the racquet is easy to handle and swing and (despite the weight) very effective for volleying.
And the Graphene technology certainly helps in this regard as well, the new material enables more effective weight distribution from center of the frame toward the tip or handle – and without sacrificing the racket’s overall strength.
