Weight3U 87 g
A head-heavy 86 g Phantom with a mid-stiff Japanese carbon shaft, sold in India, Bangladesh and the Gulf. It sits between the very stiff earlier X-Fire and a softer, more playable shaft, for players who want weight in the head without an extra-stiff feel.
- Head-heavy balance (305 mm) for clears and smashes
- Mid-stiff shaft is easier to load than the extra-stiff X-Fire II
- Japanese 40T carbon frame
- Sold unstrung and not found at any UK shop
- Only reseller pages found, no Ashaway page
- Reseller pages mislabel it 'Fire II' in places and disagree on tension
Where to buy
None of the UK shops we check sell it right now, so it may only be available abroad. Researched price: about £105.
