I’ve upgraded from the 165
"I’ve upgraded from the 165 which I would also recommend. No loss of power from the lighter 145 model. Great touch, feel and no vibration. A great racketball racket. Top service from PDH as always."

Manufactured using Karakal NEXGEN Fast Fibre graphite and our unique Karakal Click Bridge Technology, the Core Shadow Lite takes the advantages of graphene, combined with our unique braiding technology that delivers an additional 15% faster return to shape, after the ball strike, than conventional graphite layups.
The adapted technologies used in the Karakal Core Squash Racket range are also used in the Karakal Core Shadow Racketball Racket range. Karakal Core technology takes control, accuracy and power of play to the next level. The flattened tapered throat area gives the racket excellent lateral stability and helps to reduce torque.
The compact head shape of the Core Shadow range means that these are legal length rackets with the same length handle as our squash rackets, making the transition between the two sports much easier.
The Karakal Core Bridge has the effect of creating longer strings and a widened fan string pattern, giving and larger sweet spot that is further up the head. These modifications also achieve greater string coverage inside the frame.
The Karakal Core Shadow Lite 145 is fitted with the Karakal Hot Zone Control 130 String as standard, making the racket ideal for players looking for power and accuracy in their play.
