Overview
The E-Force Darkstar 160 Racquet features tons of frame designs unique to E-Force including 22” LongStrings for maximum power, bright orange Power Boosters G2 which stabilize the stringbed even on off-center hits, and a long Powerhouse Shaft. Vibration dampening is provided by the Zero Richter Tubes X2 which encase each main-string through the handle and eliminate the need for a traditional worm-style dampener that may fall out. With durability in mind, E-Force engineers improved upon the Apocalypse Beta frame design by further refining the characteristics (such as size, shape, stiffness, quality, and placement) of the 50 individual graphite pieces that are molded together to create the Darkstar racquet frames.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I started not using the 160 that much and preferred my 175 and 190 after I played and noticed my backhand not being strong. This is now the only racquet I use. Great control, fast swing and I don't get any vibration hurting my elbow like I did with some racquets in the past.
