Hi guys,

Might as well jump in the conversation since I am working for Black Knight. The racquet that David Palmer was using throughout most of the British Open was the new Ion Storm, which will be David's new signature racquet. This racquet will be available September 2008 or maybe a bit earlier, always check our website at www.playbk.com for more informations. Here's an image of the 2 new Ions as you can see, on our catalogue page there is no spec yet for these 2 racquets since they are still in their late prototype stage. So the black racquet that he had for the last point was simply a non painted prototype with a white sticker on it for the specs. Usually when we are doing several test on a same model, we receive all the prototypes painted in black

I was at the Senior Squash Canadian Championship 3 weeks ago and I had a demo of the Ion Storm so that players could try it out. Only good comments so far, people really like the racquet and David too, there is only some minor tweaking to do before we have the final sample.

All the new racquets in the 2008-09 catalogue are available right now, except for the 2 Ions that will be available later this summer. So if you want to get either the C2C Aurora or the new Magnum Corona just go at your local dealer and place an order, we have them in stock. Very Happy

I deal with Ashaway in the uk and have just received 4 of their new black knight rackets for 2008/09.
They are brilliant all my pupils have found them very good.
I am waiting to try the new David Palmer Ion Range if these 4 are anything to go by they will be very good.
They all come strung with Ashaway String which is brilliant to buy a racket and not to have to replace their factory string.
