Limited Editions and custom paint jobs are all the rage in the tennis world, and Angell does not want to miss the bandwagon. Together with Slazenger they release a take on the legendary Slazenger Pro Braided racquet, made famous by Tim Henman. It is called the Angell Slazenger Pro Braided Silver.
The original Slazenger Pro Braided silver was a 95 sq inch, stiffer racquet that was excellent for serve-and-volley players like Tim Henman. It had a 16×18 string pattern, was 4 pts head light strung and had a 330 swing weight (the weight was 310 grams unstrung!). Now Slazenger has commissioned Angell tennis to create a limited edition version of the Slazenger Pro Braided but based on the Angell K7 Red (read my review here).
The specs are basically a slightly heavier K7 in a black/white paint job. So if you like the Angell K7 Red (which I do) and just want a 5 grams heavier package and a different paint job – this is your chance! There are limited quantities of the Angell Slazenger Pro Braided Silver, so you probably need to act fast if you are a Tim Henman fan or just like this harlequin-inspired paint job. You can find the Angell Slazenger Pro Braided Silver version here.

Hi Jothi,
Angell might have a few left: https://www.angelltennis.com/?wpam_id=20

Comparing with the k7 red this racket has more power or control?
Hi Renato,
It is the same racquet pretty much! The Slazenger Pro Braided weighs 5 grams more so will have slightly better power/stability, but that is nothing that can’t be easily fixed with some lead tape on the K7 Red. Otherwise the racquets play exactly the same! Cheers / J
late on this but I have just ordered this K7 Slazenger format. I have a K7, love it, have been meaning to buy a second one, and the look of this black and white harlequin paint job is irresistible !!
Cool! It weighs around 5 grams more, but all other specs are the same. Send me a photo of the two next to each other when you have them and I will post it on our Instagram. Cheers / Jonas
