The new HEAD Speed 135 is one of Head's top-of-the-range squash racquets. It is a powerful racquet, giving attacking players immense power drive lengths deep, without sacrificing touch at the front of the court. This racquet is slightly heavier than the 120g version, but with a head light balance which many players prefer. As with the 120g version, the racquet is very stiff.

This is what HEAD says:

With new Auxetic construction for sensational feel, the SPEED 135 SQUASH RACQUET is ideal for the powerful back-court player who wants more touch.

Also refreshed with a new, modern design with metallic, earthy tones, the racquet weighs 135g, and comes with Octagonal Power Technology in the shaft for improved playability, while the Stringbed X-Tension Technology increases rebound for extra power.

Among the other technologies is HEAD's Adaptive Fan Pattern, which allows you to choose between a straight string pattern for more power or a special fan-shaped pattern for extra control.
