  • Karakal Core Shadow 165 2.1 Racquetball Racket (2024)

    The Karakal Core Shadow 165 2.1 is crafted for advanced racquetball players looking for enhanced power, stability, and control. This versatile model supports both racquetball and squash players, offering a smooth transition between the sports with its extended handle design and adaptable frame. Engineered with NEXGEN Fast Fibre Graphite and Karakal's Click-Bridge technology, the racket provides outstanding durability and responsiveness.

    Design and Materials

    The Core Shadow 165 2.1 has a teardrop-shaped head and modified throat structure, providing enhanced stability and control. Made from NEXGEN Fast Fibre Graphite, this model offers enhanced frame strength and elasticity, which quickly returns the racket to shape after impact, increasing power and responsiveness. With a balanced 310 mm weight distribution, the 165 g frame combines stability with impressive power, catering to the needs of both aggressive and precision players.

    Key Technologies

    • NEXGEN Fast Fibre Graphite: Provides improved flexibility and frame strength, offering up to 15% greater durability and responsiveness than standard graphite, delivering faster response times and increased power.
    • Click-Bridge Technology: Enhances lateral stability and reduces torque, making it easier to control high-power shots.
    • Modified Fan String Pattern: A 16x17 string pattern with a slightly higher sweet spot, improving shot accuracy and power.
    • Extended Handle: Optimised for both racquetball and squash play, allowing for a versatile grip and smooth sport transitions.

    Player Review

    The Karakal Core Shadow 165 2.1 is ideal for advanced players who enjoy a combination of power and precision. The racket's heavier frame adds significant shot power while its balanced weight distribution offers excellent control, particularly suited for powerful, accurate shots. The NEXGEN Fast Fibre Graphite construction provides a unique blend of responsiveness and durability, while the Click-Bridge Technology helps maintain control even in high-power exchanges. Its modified fan string pattern and sweet spot positioning ensure consistency, and the extended handle supports players transitioning between racquetball and squash.
