    My coach was given one by his club. Love the look and I'm thinking about getting one if it's good. Haven't tested it out yet though. Hey gabxzz, is 25 lbs good for slicing? And what of the overall performance?

    Just tested it out. Loved the control but I'm not really used to it's weight because I'm using a heavier 3U Carbonex 9 right now.

    Hi... hmm.. the control is great.. but i think 25lbs is a little too tight.. would recommend 24 for more power... haha.. as for the weight... it is 88 grams unstung.. and 93 grams after stringing.. haha.. and i added an extra grip.. lol.. so its kinda heavy now.. yeah.. but.. i still love it.. had some clashes.. some bad from doubles.. but it is still holding great.. i think it will last.. yupp.. thats my observations for now.. hope u all enjoy it as much as i do.. haha..

    www.ashaway.co.uk has some details for ashaway rackets. Though, I don't think they have the full range.

    Sorry for bringing an old thread back from the dead but I wondered if anyone had any Ashaway Nano Kevlar rackets they wanted to sell like the one pictured above?
    I used to have one of these around 7 years ago and liked it a lot.
    I think it was only for the Asian market so might not have been sold in Europe.
    Here is a picture of the one I used to have.

    I've seen it a few times but not something I normally do.
    I was just thinking of my favourite rackets and this one came to mind!
    Hopefully there will be some in good condition out there somewhere.

    I'm going to bump this old thread again!
    If anyone has an Ashaway Nano Kevlar let me know because I used to have the racket and would like another if possible.
