Black Knight Ion Drive squash racquet
Product Description
The Ion series has been developed in collaboration with multiple British Open Champion David Palmer.
This Drive model as compared to the Storm is slightly heavier by 5-10 grams but with a more head light balance. This helps to give it a more stable feel while swinging through the ball.
The Ion racquets use Nano-Crystalline Technology (NCT) as an additive to the polymer structure of the graphite frame, for reinforcement at key stress points while allowing for finetuning of the weight and balance. The combination of NCT with the Ion frame geometry also effectively reduces frame distortion and torque for a larger sweetspot and greater control for hard hitters such as Palmer. The shaft is flared in 2 dimensions between the bridge and the handle to create a progressive flex, increasing power transfer.

Slightly heavier, but amazing control and power. Very stable. I found it wasn't very durable, however. I've only used/broken 1, so its a small sample size to base that on. The racquet is great while it lasts.
