Can anyone tell me the answer to this??
I am using Carlton Airblade AS 1 rackets.

What is the closest racket to this on the market at the moment??

Noone seems to know!!!!!

Of the current Carlton range, I would say the Airblade Lite.
head-light, 86g, and supposed to have a stiff shaft (I think)

The AS1 is head-light, has a very stiff shaft, and is about 89g
If you can't get something exactly the same, which properties are most important to you?

i think weight is one of the less significant factors for a racquet.
balance, headshape, and shaft stiffness makes the difference i beleive.

with the weight, you can adjust easily just be lifting a few more weights every now and then.
i'm sure nobody can tell the difference of a few grams.

Just in case that you are interested:
I still have a new one which I don't need.
I'd like to sell it for 50 Euro
(shipping to Ireland would cost about 15 - 20 Euro).
