Just curious, anybody out there try the Carlton Airblade Kevlar, or Airblade Boron or the Airblade Graphite? Seems like they are trying to go back to the multiple materials/same design racquets. About 10 years ago, they had the Powerflo GR, BR, KR, CR LL
I haven't tried them, but I know they're not current models. I think they're from 1999, and Carlton has abandoned them since. Just before the real Titanium craze, they experimented with Kevlar & Boron and other materials... (although other manufacturers had done so much earlier, notably Yonex with the Boron-2)
I think the powerflo Boron was an exceptional racket but i guess it was not anywhere near the Yonex Boron from what i have read. It was a great club level players racket and it was a single piece too. It is a pity that the powerflo series was discontinued. I am still searching for the Powerflo Br.It is available witha store near my house but they cost too much. The Ab series of kevlar and others sucks.
A friend of mine is still using this racket, powerflo BR Pro. I have a chance to swing around. I feel that it is vert stiff and tough.
I play with a powerflo boron and find that it is quite light and flexible. Anyone else with the same reaction or is it supposed to be a stiff raquet?
