The 4U racket in Ashaway's current Phantom Shard line, which sits at the top of its UK range by price. It is head heavy with a medium-stiff shaft, so it is built for power and deep clears rather than quick net play.
- Head-heavy balance helps clears and smashes
- Medium-stiff shaft is easier to load than a fully stiff frame
- Comes strung and with a free cover from UK retailers
- Head weight is slower for defence and drives
- Sold mainly through UK retailers; few reviews found
- Length and grip size not published on the listings seen
