 Hey, you probably guessed it, but in this video I'm going to be doing another unboxing and review video, but this time it's going to be on a brand new 21 inch racket That's on the market It's from goat rackets and it's called the rampage and I'm going to show you why it's different to any other Let's check it out Welcome back My name is Ashley Neves and I run the tennis mentor YouTube and Instagram accounts and I create content for tennis players tennis parents and tennis coaches to get more out of the sport now the reason I'm reviewing a 21 inch racket today for those that don't know me. I'm an avid supporter of touch tennis It's a very fast-growing racket sport that you can play anywhere You don't even need a tennis court. It's played on a compact sized court with 21 inch rackets and the official touch tennis ball Now this tennis ball is really what makes the game It's unlike any other and it allows you to hit with heavy topspin heavy slice kick serves The ball really reacts off the ground and you can play in all weather conditions Head over to the touch tennis YouTube channel or Instagram account to see some epic points played and to find more out about the sport I fell in love with it a number of years ago And actually played on the world tour and made it to the world number six in singles and the world number four in doubles I made great friends with the founder Rashid who has kindly sent me one of these brand new Rackets. I'm actually the first on the planet to receive one of these in the post He's come up with a new brand called goat rackets Now if you don't know Rashid you should know that he is the greatest touch tennis player of all time Hence his self-proclaimed title the goat apparently he's won 21 slabs in the sport But nobody has recollection of this and we can't seem to find records anywhere. However, he is the greatest of all time The sport was born in his back garden. He was playing over a mini tennis net in his garden with his daughters He was getting really competitive. They were beating him too many times It was getting super competitive when his daughter was age four or five or something like that And they kept arguing over who was winning the most matches So he started to keep track of his score and decided to put it on his very own website so that there could be no disputes Eventually his more of his friends got involved The website got bigger and it started to branch out now The sport is played all over the world with thousands of competitors and the great thing about it is you can set up a Core anywhere it could be in your back garden. It could be in a car park and it's great fun So enough about touch tennis. Let's talk about the racket that's been designed now Rashid has spent years and years playing the sport And has used endless amounts of rackets and he's tried and tested endless amounts of balls He's managed to come up with an amazing ball that truly makes the sport So if you're going to play touch tennis make sure you use these balls But alongside that he's been testing loads and loads of rackets and decided that he wants to create a racket That's fit for the greatest player of all time Hence the name goat rackets before I get started It's important to say that Rashid has kindly sent me this for the purpose of testing and reviewing I haven't been paid to make this video nor have I been asked to say anything in particular So everything that I say will be my own unbiased opinions And here it is Rashid's a bit of a tech nerd and he's a big fan of Apple products and the way that they package their products So he's spent a lot of time even up down to the packaging of this product. Let's take a look there. It is the very first goat racket So you can see already there's a lot of time being spent on even the packaging of this product There you go, looks amazing, right? so I Won't lie. I've actually unboxed this already because I've had a little hit with the racket Because I wanted to test it out before speaking to you guys and this actually came in a cellophane wrapper And the grip was wrapped as well But I thought it looked even cooler in the packaging without it So I thought I'd unbox it for you guys without the wrappers on it. There we go. Let's take the racket out There's even a logo behind the racket here, so That is the first look at the packaging and what the racket looks like There it is So straight out of the packaging The racket is ready to be used most 21-inch rackets come with this On the front just as a bit of marketing really, but this actually has a purpose It's a stencil for you to put the logo onto your rackets now It's such a cool logo You can probably put this on your normal tennis racket if you've got one as well So you just need some stencil ink and that will allow you to mark out the strings to show off this cool logo So I'm going to take this off now There we go, so if you can see the logo on the strings of the goat It's a pretty mean-looking goat, isn't it? So here is the racket now the very first thing my first impressions of the racket as soon as I picked it up and unwrapped it Was how amazing the grip was now after speaking to Rashid he wanted this racket to be Unbelievable as soon as you opened it most rackets when you buy them They have a factory grip which you normally need to put an overgrip on top of to make it feel more comfortable They normally have strings that are really loosely tensioned in the factory these strings You can hear have a pretty good tension already now You might think why do you need decent set of strings at a high tension in a 21 inch racket? But remember this racket was built for the greatest player of all time So he's gone the extra mile in making sure that you get the best quality out of it The grip feels ridiculous if I show you here a close-up of the grip. It's actually Got the logo almost embossed onto it But it just feels so much tackier than any other grip that you would get on a racket and the quality is amazing You can see the detailing on the racket here with the goat logo on the neck It's got that on both sides. The detailing is pretty cool all the way around It's got this matte gun metal finish and the quality of the build is ridiculous Especially for a 21 inch racket And if you look closely The detailing inside the neck of the racket you've got the touch tennis certified logo and you've got some of the specs So we've got a head size of 85 square inches, which from playing with it earlier is Spot on anything smaller can make the sweet spot too small and quite difficult to hit in the center Anything too big can limit its maneuverability So the head size is great and that's for touch tennis players or for junior tennis players as well The length is 21 inches and it's exactly that so it's fit for the touch tennis tour It has a string pattern of 16 by 18 and it says to string at 40 pounds Most 21 inch rackets don't come with recommendations But I know for a fact that Rashid has strung his touch tennis rackets at lots of different tensions with lots of different string types And he's found that this is the nicest so again He's built it for the greatest touch tennis player of all time And it's gonna have that quality bearing in mind that this is a touch tennis racket I'm not just going to use it for my touch tennis Play and matches. I'm actually going to use it for coaching as well throughout my tennis career I've always had a 21 inch racket in my bag for various reasons one of the reasons is for when I'm coaching younger children I think it's important as a coach to use a racket that is familiar to the kids and the kids that are using this Size racket if I'm coaching them with a massive 27 inch racket, they're not going to fill that connection So I think it's important to have a 21 inch racket in your bag And when the kids see you with this one, they're gonna think you're a pretty cool coach going back to the grip Outside of its quality, you'll actually notice that it's longer than most grips that 21 inch rackets have is actually 15 centimeters long Which allows adult players with big hands to hold the racket comfortably But equally if you're like me and you've got a double-handed backhand It allows you to put two hands on the grip like so with most 21 inch rackets with the length of the grip being shorter You're forced into holding the neck of the racket with your non-dominant hand But here you can get most of your non-dominant hand on the grip which allows you to play your double-handed backhand And it felt great when I tried it earlier. Going back to the detailing one of the coolest details on it Is Rashid's tagline or slogan and it is Stay humble Quite ironic really But a great thing to live by for anybody. So there's the first looks at the racket Let me know in the comments below what you think of it In my opinion, it's one of the coolest looking 21 inch rackets If you've ever read the book shoe dog the Phil Knight memoirs of how Nike was created If you haven't read the book by the way, you should definitely do it It's unbelievable. I read it a couple of weeks ago one of the best books I've ever read But yeah Rashid's like bowman in the way that he has to keep improving equipment So whether it's the ball whether it's the racket He's never satisfied until he's got something right and the fact that he's actually launched this and it's going out to the market very Very soon, you know, it's gonna be a great product straight out of the box It feels like a 50 pound racket and at the time of filming this right now I believe it's 29.99 so you're getting such amazing quality for nearly half the price So I said at the start I actually had a play with this yesterday and it feels great Even before hitting a ball when swinging around you can feel how maneuverable it is So quick through the air and just the fact that I can put two hands on the grip makes it much more comfortable for me With my double-handed backhand. Watching this you're probably thinking well, it's a 21 inch racket How different can it be to any others and in all fairness? I could play touch tennis with most 21 inch rackets But the reason I would get this one is firstly because of how it looks. I love its design I love the detailing but more importantly for the same price as any other 21 inch racket I know the amount of hours that have gone into making this and for a small business to be able to put a racket out at a Very similar price to any on the market with this quality is quite incredible So if you're an adult that wants to get started with touch tennis, this would be awesome If you're a parent with a child who wants to get into tennis again I think they'd be pretty happy with how cool this racket is if you're a teenager that wants to do a bit more tennis When you're at home or out in the park, you just want to set up a court and it's great for that too and for me as a coach I'm going to use it with my mini tennis players as well I'll pop the link to this in the description below along with the link to the touch tennis website so that you can check out What the sports all about I really hope you enjoyed this video if you did be sure to hit that like button Comment below if you've got any questions about the racket and let me know what you think about it to see more reviews or More of my coaching tutorials consider subscribing to the channel and I hope to see you next time.
