The Harrow Response 115 is an elite, ultra-lightweight squash racquet designed for competitive and advanced players who want to inject effortless power and maximum swing speed into their game. It is a lighter, highly reactive sibling to the Response 120, sharing its signature frame shape but optimizing it for a faster, high-tempo pace of play.
Core Performance
- Effortless Teardrop Power: The elongated main strings naturally generate greater trampoline effect and easy ball speed. This allows you to comfortably hit deep, dying lengths and heavy cross-courts even when caught out of position or forced into a shortened swing.
- Rapid Aerodynamic Speed: At 115 grams, the frame cuts through the air seamlessly. It is highly optimized for front-court volleying, letting you snap your wrist at the absolute last millisecond to hold and disguise your shots from the "T."
- Closed-Bridge Stability: Unlike typical open-throated teardrop racquets that can twist on off-center hits, the reinforced structural bridge across the throat anchors the frame. This gives you a highly predictable, stable hitting platform for delicate drops and straight parallel drives.
Key Technologies
- Premium Carbon/Graphite Layup: Built using Harrow’s high-modulus, multi-layered carbon weaving process. This yields incredibly stiff frame walls that eliminate "mushy" feedback, channeling your maximum physical swing energy directly into the squash ball.
- Even-Balance Engineering: By keeping the balance at 360 mm, Harrow ensures that the ultra-lightweight 115g frame retains enough head momentum to follow through the hitting zone smoothly, maintaining excellent pace control.
- Pro-Grade Factory Setup: Bypassing generic factory strings, the Response 115 comes pre-strung with premium Harrow Barrage strings at a professional 28 lbs of tension. This delivers crisp elasticity, excellent ball bite, and tournament-ready performance straight out of the box.
Ideal Player Profile
- The Harrow Response 115 is tailor-made for all-court attackers, advanced shot-makers, and high-tempo volleyers. If you love the effortless depth of a teardrop frame but want the rigid, precise, and ultra-crisp sensation of a closed-throat racquet wrapped in a featherlight, highly maneuverable package, this 115g weapon is one of the best on the market.
Summary
The Harrow Response 115 stands out as a unique architectural hybrid. It combines the expansive sweet spot and raw depth generation of an aggressive teardrop head shape with the strict torsional stability of a closed-throat bridge. Shaving the unstrung frame weight down to a featherlight 115 grams while maintaining an even balance point (360 mm), Harrow has created a racquet that feels exceptionally fast through the air without feeling hollow or fluttering when meeting heavy, incoming pace.
