Well, I can get this racquet for 105 canadian dollars, which is like 50 to 60 american. It's regularly 135 cd, or 90 american. Think it's a good deal? Anybody have this racquet? If so, wut're the pros and cons of it? Thx

if it included gst, then u got it for a pretty good price.
where did u got that from? store or karakal repres?

Na, it doesn't include gst unfortunately. I can get it from the Karakal reps at the national squash tourny in Edmonton rite now.

The Slti-80 is a pretty well balanced racquet. The playability is pretty high up there however i think it's a little too flexible and it's too balanced for my tastes. You should ask Matt Ross he uses the slti-80 as his main racquets and he's also sponsored. Good luck

Cheers,
Nick

i juz bought karakal sl ti 80 but the funny thing is the weight thast stated on the shaft is 87/92 and not 80/85 as it should be!
are 2 versions to this racket?
the racket seems decent enough and i doubt it's a fake!
any possible explanations?

tq

Gengar,

Where could i get karakal rackets in KL or PJ?

i bought mine from racket house at pertama shopping complex for 159+gosen string,grip n a bag.
but they onli have the asian version which weighs 87gm n not 80!
i juz found out from karakal they onli supply the 80 gm model to european countries and not asian countries.
reason for this apparently asian prefer heavier rackets!

This racket is better then the old SL 80 cause there is less vibration. As for feel It feels like a heavier version of the SL 70. It does not have the head lightness of the Ti 75 but then your talking to someone that has 4 of the same rackets all that feel slightly different
