Heavier frame for additional power and stability, but still maneuverable thanks to the head light balance – and now with the upgraded Graphene XT technology.
Reviews:
In 2015 Head released a new version of the Graphene Cyano 135 squash racket, adding "XT" into its name. All properties like head size or balance remained the same, the only difference is the new generation of the Graphene technology, now called Graphene XT. Basically, the idea is to redistribute weight from the center of the frame toward the ends where it matters more – which leads to better swing and maneuverability without sacrificing the racquet’s strength.
The playing capabilities are very similar to the previous versions as well – nice control and very good power. Thanks to the larger weight the power is really easy to generate and the racket offers great stability, plus the head light balance keeps maneuverability on a solid level.

There are also two other Cyano racquets in this lineup: the super-light 110 is a lot lighter and a bit more powerful, on the other hand the 135 offers better control and stability. And the 120 is some kind of a compromise – good power, control and maneuverability and more convenient for those players who find the 135 too heavy or the 110 too light.
