Racket Specifications
Balance & Flex Profile
The Ashaway Phantom Helix NWP MAX is the latest step in Ashaway’s Phantom range: an advanced badminton racket for players who want power, precision and control and who string at higher tensions. It builds on the Phantom Helix with a heavier frame, a stiffer shaft and greater durability for players with solid technique.
Key Features
- Phantom Airflow System – Ashaway’s signature design reduces drag for faster swing speed and sharper shot precision in high-intensity rallies.
- Helix Weave Technology – woven around the entire frame to keep a slim profile while adding strength and durability; tested under extreme conditions to support high string tensions for sharper shots and better control.
- Stiff shaft – control and stability for precise placement and strong smashes; best for players with good overhead technique and an aggressive style.
- Heavier 85–87g frame – slightly heavier than its predecessor for extra power while staying manoeuvrable.
- Pre-strung with Zymax 69 Fire White – Ashaway’s award-winning string, combining durability with repulsion and control.
- 40Tonne High-Modulus Carbon Graphite – Japanese carbon graphite construction for strength and resilience.
Performance Overview
Designed to perform with string tensions up to 30 lbs, the Phantom Helix NWP MAX suits players who want pinpoint accuracy. The heavier frame and stiff shaft combine power with controlled accuracy, while the Helix Weave and high-modulus carbon graphite give long-lasting performance under pressure. The white and graphite finish is set off by the Zymax Fire strings.
Who Is It For?
- Advanced players – with refined technique who can use the heavier frame and stiff shaft for power and control.
- Tight-tension players – who prefer higher string tensions for repulsion and precision.
- Powerful smashers – aggressive players who rely on strong overhead shots and fast-paced play.
