{"title":"Karakal Squash Rackets","description":"\u003ch2 class=\"product\"\u003eBuy a Karakal squash racket: the racket of Joel Makin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLooking for a Karakal squash racket? At Squashpoint you'll find a wide range of Karakal squash rackets from the brand that has been known since 1978 for ultra-light frames and an independent take on racket design. Karakal was founded in Belgium and grew from its base in Bristol, England, into an international racket sports brand that is active in more than 55 countries today. Where many brands copy each other, Karakal deliberately takes its own path: extremely light frames, a distinctive head shape and smaller racket heads. The result? A Karakal squash racket feels different from any other racket: faster in the hand, sharper in placement and designed for players who want to dictate the pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003eKarakal squash rackets: Joel Makin as figurehead\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe face of Karakal on the PSA World Tour is Joel Makin. The Welshman has been among the world's best for years and is notorious for his exceptional physicality, relentless pace and tactical discipline: a player who puts opponents under pressure rally after rally. Together with Makin, Karakal developed the Raw Pro, his personal signature racket, built to his exact specifications. Alongside Makin, PSA players such as Greg Lobban, Emyr Evans and Kaitlyn Watts also play with Karakal on tour. That tour experience feeds directly into every Karakal squash racket you buy at Squashpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003eWhat makes Karakal squash rackets unique?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eKarakal stands out from almost every other squash brand in three ways. First, weight: Karakal builds the lightest squash rackets in the world, with the SN-90ff and its frame weight of just 90 grams as the ultimate outlier. Less weight means more racket head speed, faster reactions in the front corners and less fatigue in long matches. Second, the head shape: Karakal uses its own compact head shape that differs from the classic teardrop and the traditional closed-throat frame. Third, size: with head sizes from 455 to 480 cm², Karakal squash rackets are deliberately smaller than the usual 500 cm². A smaller head gives a more stable string bed, more direct feedback and more precision: ideal for tight lengths down the side wall and controlled drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003eTechnology in every Karakal squash racket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eKarakal's top models are built with Nexgen Fast Fibre graphite. This material lets the frame spring back to its original shape up to 15% faster after ball contact, giving you more power with less effort. The Groove Power System and the 'A' Power Shaft add stability and energy transfer, while the one-piece frame with a constant taper profile (18-16 mm) keeps the racket crisp and direct. On top of that, every Karakal squash racket comes strung as standard with Hot Zone 120 string and fitted with the world-famous Karakal PU Super Grip, so you're ready to play from the very first shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003eThe Karakal Raw Pro: Joel Makin's signature racket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Raw Pro is the racket Joel Makin plays with on the PSA World Tour. With a frame weight of 120 grams, a balance point of 345 mm and a compact 480 cm² head, this Karakal squash racket combines power with an exceptionally balanced feel. The 14 x 18 string pattern provides a tight, controllable string bed, the extra vibration dampener in the frame protects your arm and the oval handle is ergonomically shaped to Makin's personal preference. Want to play with genuine tour equipment? Then the Raw Pro is your racket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003eThe Karakal SN-90ff: the lightest squash racket in the world\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eWith a frame weight of just 90 grams, the SN-90ff is the lightest squash racket in the world. Karakal deliberately kept the design minimalist, with minimal decals and no lacquer, to save every gram. The mid-size 455 cm² head with a fan-shaped string pattern (14 x 19) and a balance point of 365 mm ensures you still get enough mass behind the ball despite the extremely low weight. The result is unrivalled racket head speed: perfect for players who want to react quickly, volley and speed up the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product\"\u003eRaw Pro, T Pro, S Pro or SN-90: which Karakal squash racket suits you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eIn short: choose the \u003cstrong\u003eRaw Pro\u003c\/strong\u003e if you want to play with Joel Makin's signature racket, with a well-balanced feel and a compact string bed for power and control.

The frame is made of 'pure' graphite and gives a direct, crisp response. The mid-size 480 cm² head provides a generous sweet spot, and the 14\/18 string pattern gives you extra grip on the ball, so you can place your drops and boasts accurately into the corners.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComfort has not been overlooked either.
