    At 75g this is supposed to be the lightest racket in the world. I'd like to know if anyone actually uses this and what comments they have to pass on about it?

    actually, the lightest one is the SL70 at 70grams.

    for more info, do a search on karakal 70

    I had this racket, but I found it too light so I gave it to my mom. There is a slightly head-heavy balance but if you add a pair of overgrips or something, it should even out. I must repeat again, it is quite light, but considering I'm someone who favors U/2U over 3U/4U, maybe it might suit you alright.

    I tried it before... didn't really like it cuz it's way too light. I felt that I could get a tennis elbow from over-torquing my swinging arm:(. However, net players would love it for the swift manuverability the racquet gave.

    Valid point made there by cappy75. I didnt think of it like that but your right. This could definately cause stress on the elbow resulting in injuries.

    you should give the SLTi-80 a shot, if you liked the SL70 and Ti75, but found them to be too light.
