I was impressed by the workmanship of this racquet and have played with it quite a few times.
This definitely would be a good purchase for someone wanting a higher end racquet.

I've been using these strings for a couple of months now, and here is how I have it set up. Also, I have played tennis for 10 years, took a some time off during college, and now I'm getting back into it; I'm around a 4.0-4.5 player.

Racquet - Babolat Pure Drive Team Plus (Roddick)
Mains - Gut (60 lbs)
Crosses - Big Banger (57.5 lbs)

Typically I have been using Big Banger ALU Power (not rough) on my mains, crossed with some kind of synthetic gut, i.e. Technifibre X-One Biphase, for quite awhile. I decided to put the guts on the mains since I don't break Too often so that I can get a softer feel, and I love the way this configuration plays! If you can sacrifice some durability, I would highly recommend this setup, it feels much better than a poly crossed with a gut. The strings have a nice soft feel and will still give you a good pop. If you want a reasonably affordable, gut like feel with durability, this is a great compromise.

Bought this racquet to replace a 2011 (?) Blade BLX 98. This plays very similar - a maneuverable racquet that maximizes control. If you're a player who likes to attack the net on occasion, go for it...the racquet does a great job on volleys. It really lets you carve the ball and cut angles. From the baseline, it delivers a solid response and is easy on the arm. It doesn't deliver a crazy amount of spin, but a spin-friendly string would help here. Highly recommended. Mine also showed up from Amazon already strung (Prince Synthetic 16 - fairly standard), It was advertised as unstrung, so that was a bonus.

Bought this for my 9 year old daughter.  She is on the small size (5th percentile), so this racket is actually a little large for her hand, but it is managable.  Quality is good.  I believe this was a great value for what we got.  Would recommend for a 9-11 year old, depending upon size of course.
One thing to note I believe someone else noted as well:  The rim of the racquet is short, less than an inch I believe... so if you want to do one of the "roll the ball around the inside of the racquet" exercises as a teaching technique... this racquet makes that difficult as the ball just rolls off basically.

This is a good racquet for young beginners in tennis.  The grip is good for small hands and the racquet is light enough for a child to use.

I bought mine about 2yrs ago as a starter racquet,and after heavy use and many games,it's still working just fine. I have other high quality racquets I play with now,but this one will always hold a special place in my heart .

While not my normal racket, I used this one as a loaner and was pleasantly surprised by it.  It offers a reasonable amount of built in power and control.  It also did not aggregate my tennis elbow.  The 110 is probably just fine for a beginner or casual player.  I did okay with it and I play about 10 hours of tennis a week.

I'm an intermediate squash player and have been very pleased with this racquet. It's slightly more powerful than the Wilson racquet I had been using, while also providing good control and feel.

I've never played racquetball prior to owning this racquet. I've used it for two weeks and I'm happy with this racquet. I have no issues with the grip and overall the racquet performs as expected. I'm a fan of the red color and the price was right for an entry level racquet.

Initial review:
The racquet is exactly as advertised, and I liked the feel - the weight and balance - of it. But after a few games I went back to my old Wilson. I didn't feel that I had as much control with the new Steam 105S, and I was able to generate almost as much spin with my old racquet. I plan to have the Steam 105S restrung with poly and give it another chance, but it stays in the bag for now.

Follow-up:

I had the racquet restrung with poly and it made all the difference. My local pro did the job, and said to allow 4 or 5 hours of play to get used to it, but I loved it after only a few minutes. Initially, the it was strung too loose, and I was always fussing with the gaps in the strings after each shot. Now It is strung at a medium tension with the poly strings, and there are no more gaps. Restrung, it has better action and much better control than with the original strings.

Head is on top of the game with a new release of the Innegra (IG) line of racquets, as it builds on last year's popularized Youtek technology. The new cosmetic application is definitely toned down from its solid bright yellow, eye popping cousin. Providing an enhanced soft yet solid feel, players will find the newer model to be much more than simply a new paintjob to nail home the point.

Groundstrokes:

To say the least, the frame was remarkably interesting to play with. I generally do not generate very much spin on my backhand however this racquet provided easy topspins on my backhand and all other areas of the court. The rounded shape of the head widens up the sweet spot just a tad bit for easier access to spin and pop. It gave me enough control to move into the court and finish off points, perfect for players who love to take large loopy spin oriented swings at the ball.

Volleys:

My volleys were nice and solid well within the line, but I did find that it was harder to place the ball where I needed. The racquet felt a little too lively and unstable at the net, a little difficult to control. With a less headlight weight distribution, the racquet proved to be a bit more challenging to maneuver as well, especially at critical points at the net. The low headlight weight made the frame feel almost "clunky" and hard to me to remain mobile on the court.

Serves:

I found this racquet to have too much in power when it came down to my serves. I couldn't go all out on my serves as I would with most first serves, thus I had to tone down on the power level to a more moderate swing. I could put my kicks on the ball without a problem, but when it came to my precision the racquet was a little unpredictable.

Overall:

The new matrix in the Youtek IG Extreme Pro does feel more dampened than the original Youtek Extreme Pro. I also like the Hydrosorb Tour Grip replacing the traditional leather. The classic feel on the racquet is nice but with that much power coming off that string bed, it's nice to have a higher level of cushioning for a smoother shot and less forearm discomfort. This racquet had a little too much power for me but I was able to make up for that by adding additional spin to my groundstrokes. I would recommend this racquet for any 4.0 level or higher player or if you are looking for increased spin generation on your shots.

I'm a novice, but for $20 on this raquet, I figured what do I have to loose. It's worked perfectly for me so far, so much so that I bought a second one as a backup and/or for someone else to use.

This is an amazing racquet! Very light and stiff with excellent balance, control and power.

 I currently have the 2014 black/red model strung with Ashaway Supernick XL micro and I love it. Note that unlike other manufacturer's, Harrow quotes the weight *including* the string, so this is comparable to other manufacturer's 'lighter' racquets.

I haven't had the durability issues others mention - I have banged it around on the court for 8 months with no issues.

The other point is that if you are experiencing 'squash elbow', this may be the racquet for you. I formerly had a Black Knight Quicksilver TC racquet and developed a terrible case of squash elbow. The club pro recommended I try a stiffer racquet with less flex and loaned me her Harrow Vapor.  Great suggestion - net result is that my problems with squash elbow vanished after two weeks of using the Harrow Vapor.

Highly recommended.

Stats:
 Weight Unstrung 142g
 Pattern  16 x 16 Composition
 String  Rebel 17

My thoughts:

You will feel the weight mainly in the head, if you have played with the previous Speed Port its comparable to that racquet. Since the weight is mainly based in the head of the racquet, you will receive better "Hard Hitting" deep shots, however I find a lack of control on the shots when you have little time to prepare. However it is still a very nice racquet and I would recommend it to any Intermediate - Advanced players.

I have been playing a few months with a starter's kit and now that I am a little bit more skilled I appreciate having a better racket. I believe it is a good deal for the price, I like the fact that it has a solid grip and it is easy to handle

Bought this for my husband, as he is beginning to get an interest in the sport. It is a good buy, he is very well satisfied with the quality, very light. As he compares with this friends racquets it was a good value for the price.
