Let's cut to the chase, the world number one can't be all that wrong when it comes to racquet choice. That being said, to me, the Ultimate wasn't quite all that I expected it to be.
500 squares should deliver some serious muscle, and while the Ultimate can monster any given ball on any given day, its just not consistent in its brute force. To us, it also felt heavier than the Pro GT or any of the e-squash 500 sq. cm racquets.
Now that I've bagged it, let me say thats the Ultimate is not the ugly duckling of the family. It is a great racquet; looks sharper than Eddie Murphy doing stand up and when you middle it, the feel is like cream cheese in an oven - it goes all runny and makes you feel warm and mushy (by the way, don't try that at home, I sure wouldn't). Also, when we cracked it up with some super sexy Powernick 18 from the boys at Ashaway, the racquet delivered some delicate touch too.
As with all the Aerogels, unzipping the racquet thermo is like opening presents and Christmas, the bag promises soooooo much and is nearly as deliciously enticing as its contents. Be that as it may, for the cost of a helicopter flight, I would prefer to drop eggs from tremendous hights on unsuspecting neighbours. If you're certain your looking for 500 squares in a tour shape, head to e-squash (just wait for the review of the Titanium!!), then perhaps to the Aerogel Elite, then stop here and ask to test the demo!
