Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Ashaway Phantom Helix is a badminton racket from Ashaway's Phantom series, built for players who want advanced technology, strength and a distinctive look. Building on earlier Phantom models, it adds the Phantom Airflow System, a more flexible shaft and a cosmetic weave, and comes pre-strung with Zymax Fire 69 Orange.
Key Features
- Phantom Airflow System – an aerodynamic frame designed for speed and reduced drag, giving faster racket-head speed in fast rallies and improving both power and control.
- Cosmetic Weave Technology – tested under extreme temperatures and pressures, the weave keeps the slim profile without compromising strength, and gives the racket its distinctive look.
- Zymax Fire 69 strings – pre-strung with Zymax Fire 69 Orange for durability, precision and power.
- Enhanced shaft flexibility – a medium-stiff shaft with more flex than the original Phantom models, working with the airflow technology to generate greater shuttle speed.
- High-Modulus Carbon Graphite frame – Ultra 40Tonne High Modulus Carbon Graphite for resilience, strength and durability under aggressive play.
Performance Overview
The aerodynamic frame and added shaft flex give good racket-head speed and control. The even to head-heavy balance, combined with support for high string tensions, helps with powerful smashes and accurate placement, while the cosmetic weave and high-modulus carbon graphite add durability for regular competitive use. With orange Zymax Fire strings and a graphite finish, it also looks the part.
Who Is It For?
- Intermediate to advanced players – who value speed, power and control.
- Competitive players – looking for a high-performance racket for tournament conditions.
- Style-conscious players – who want a racket that performs and stands out on court.
