The Harrow Meta 115 is an elite, ultra-lightweight squash racquet designed to offer an explosive combination of raw power and structural control. Unlike most of Harrow's premium lineup, which relies on a traditional open throat, the Meta 115 features a closed-throat teardrop hybrid shape engineered to provide a massive, forgiving sweet spot.
Core Performance
- Forgiving Power: The extended vertical main strings inherent to its teardrop architecture create an increased trampoline effect. This gives you easy depth on your drives, even when you're stretched out wide or forced into a shortened, rushed swing.
- Crisp Control & Tactile Feel: Despite its high power potential, the frame is engineered to be relatively stiff. This structural rigidity minimizes frame flutter on heavy impacts, giving you surgical feedback and maximum touch on delicate front-court boasts and drops.
- Rapid Handling: At just 115 grams, the frame is highly responsive. It allows for lightning-quick reactions when hunting for attacking volleys on the "T" or when flicking deceptive cross-courts at the last split second.
Key Technologies
- Carbon Toray Fiber Construction: Built using elite-grade Toray carbon fibers, providing an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. This guarantees that the ultra-light frame maintains high-end durability and a premium, uniform density.
- Closed-Throat Bridge: The physical structural bridge across the lower throat limits the horizontal twisting common in pure teardrop frames. This stabilizes the string bed and forces your straight drives to stay tightly locked along the side wall.
- Trap Door End Cap: A practical Harrow innovation built into the base of the handle, allowing players to easily open the end cap to remove any loose graphite debris or sand that can sometimes rattle around inside the frame over time.
- Premium Barrage Pro Factory Setup: The racquet skips generic factory strings and comes pre-strung at a crisp, tournament-ready 28 lbs with Harrow's high-end Barrage Pro string, offering exceptional ball bite and elastic responsiveness immediately.
Ideal Player Profile
- The Harrow Meta 115 is tailor-made for intermediate to advanced all-court players who love a fast, whippy, teardrop setup but dislike the wild or loose feeling that flexible open-throat frames can sometimes have. If you want a lightweight weapon that does the heavy lifting for depth while remaining structurally rigid enough to confidently guide touch shots into the corners, the Meta 115 is a phenomenal choice.
Summary
The Harrow Meta 115 is a player favorite across multiple generations, appealing to both intermediate competitors and advanced shot-makers. Shaving the unstrung frame weight down to a featherlight 115 grams, it moves through the air with effortless speed. To ensure it doesn't lose punchy depth at such a light weight, Harrow gave it a slightly head-heavy balance point (365 mm). This design element effortlessly pulls the racquet through the swing path, allowing you to generate heavy pace and depth from anywhere on the court.
