The middle racket from the 2014 Suprem series (according to weight). Great control and a bit more power than the Suprem 125. Plus a top quality string again.
Reviews:
5 grams heavier than the Suprem 125, the 130 forms the middle of the 2014 Tecnifibre series of squash rackets focused on control. As the two other models, it has a classical closed head as well, only smaller, and the balance is even (the others are head-heavy).
Players report they really enjoy this racquet – it’s light, with very nice feel and despite the low weight it is stable and solid. They also say the power is slightly better compared to the 125, while it still offers very good control.

Pierre from Squash Source also compared it to the Dunlop Pro GTS (they are very similar in terms of head size, shape and weight) and wrote that the Dunlop is more suitable for quick flick using your wrist (thanks to its head light balance) while the Tecnifibre encourages you to set up earlier and take a full swing through the ball (also getting more power in the process).
