A little stiff for my game
"It's a decent racket, but I find it a little too stiff for my playing style. I'm used to making shots with a flick of the wrist, but the shaft on this Ashaway racket requires me to play shots more from the elbow"

The Ashaway Viper XT1500 is designed for smooth control and enhanced comfort whilst playing in an extremely dynamic fashion. It takes advantage of the Viper Weave technology to ensure maximum precision and lower air drag by incorporating Viper Alloy between layers of graphite to eliminate frame warping and for sustaining superior stability on impacts. This evenly balanced racket weighs about 84g, and features an isometric head for enhanced shot consistency through more efficient sweet-spot. The racket also boasts a slim frame style for an aerodynamic boost and more responsive feel.

"Potentially could be a good raqucet but unfortunately it arrived with basic, unplayable strings … So now im going to have to pay an additional £25 for stringing, which then puts actual price for the raqucet at £100 . ."
"Good quality racquet for intermediate player"
"Very good"
"I played 3 sessions with it, and decided not to add the additional grip I had bought, and found the racket very well balanced. Sadly I clashed the racket with my doubles partner yesterday, and broke the frame in a similar place to the racket I had to replace before Christmas."
