Overview

Set your game on fire with the new HEAD Ignition 171 Racquet! Using the Corrugated Throat frame design of the popular Scorpion racquet as a starting point, HEAD integrated lightweight Graphene material into the top of the frame for extra durability and a more powerful head-heavy balance. HEAD's well-known Internal Grommet System maximizes frame integrity by eliminating exterior grommet holes and enhances frame stiffness for optimum power and explosive stringbed response.

Comments: I've also had the problem of this racquet coming in heavier than advertised, and unfortunately this is a deal killer for me.  I love my Great White and fiqured I'd go up in weight just a tiny bit (4g right?). 19g heavier is too much for my style of play, so though it's a "beautiful" racquet (for what that's worth), it's a fail. Either they have a manufacturing problem, or it's false advertising, any way you cut it, it's a fail.

Have enjoyed playing with the Great White. Decided to try the Ignition. It is slightly heavier with similar balance. The extra weight makes it stronger and more stable from the back court. Good power and control, no vibration. Nice racquet!

: The strung weight of the racquet I received was 208g which is much heavier than advertised. That being said, power strokes with this racquet (OEM strings) were very easy, predictable, and tireless. I think it contends very well against pricier racquets with similar specs (total area, inertia, and weight). That, however, doesn't predict how this racquet will behave when the string and tension setting are changed.

Comments:
I did a demo with this racquet and five other models. This racquet beat out everything I tried, though the Harrow was close. The power this racquet delivers is perfect for how I play and it delivers it from anywhere on the court, including from the back wall, which again is a huge part of my game. Though I eventually landed on this racquet model I did so in the form of the Head Hades 170 because I found two of them seriously discounted and barely used. However since I demoed them both I can tell you they are exactly the same racquet with different paint.

Comments: excellent control for touch shots.. was my favorite characteristic...doesnt require huge swing to splat with power...

Comments: I love head raquets and this raquet is top notch. Minimal vibration key if you have a sore elbow. This raquet is light and has power for days and its head weight and balance helps with touch shots. It's a total weapon for both back and front court players. I'm 63 and this raquet helps keep me in games with far younger and quicker players. Love it.

Comments: I demo'd this racquet and absolutely loved the feel, power, quickness, balance, just everything about it. I was placing and killing the ball like never before. Definitely purchasing it this week.

Comments: Great racquet.  Stiff throat with the corregation like the Zuess, added graphene, very, very little vibration.  I've owned the Zuess, 170 graphene radical, Submission, and it is as powerful as any mentioned, but a notch above all.   Highly reccommend
