Good racquet, great control
I've used an old, budget Head racquet for a few years, and upgrading to the Ar18 has significantly improved my game. This racquet is light, cuts nicely and gives great control. Although it's advertised as a control racquet, I find little difference in the power when compared to my buddy's power Head racquet.The only thing I was disappointed with is the shipping. The estimated shipping time to Canada was around 2 weeks; the actual shipping time was closer to 3 1/2 weeks.

Great racquet. A bit heavy for less than intermediate players.
Solid. That's the best way to describe this racquet.Round head shape versus tear-drop; this racquet has explosive power and solid feel. It offers good control and touch but requires more work than a 135g racquet.Strung, this racquet weighs around 167g and it's head-heavy.You'll need strong arms and a quick stroke to make this racquet go. Overall, I'd recommend it for an intermediate player or above.For beginners, there are better, more maneuverable, lighter weight options.

Love this model - haven't tried the new version.
This is a great racquet for doubles squash; Ive used it for the last 3 seasons. A little heavy for singles.

Argon155 Racquet Review
Before I review this thing, it should be known that I'm a very casual squash player. I picked it up rather quickly since I play tennis about 4x a week. Honestly, I got this racket b/c it looks very much like my tennis racket (youtek speed pro). But it hits pretty well. It has a great touch for drop shots and has plenty of control. The only knock I have with it is that it's not very forgiving. I have a good amount of framed shots that turn into winners but it's not intended. Someone with more experience can probably take more advantage of this racket. For the average player, I would recommend a bigger head size. As for weight, it's difficult for me to say b/c compared to a tennis racket, squash rackets feel like toys. But I do like the head-lightness of the balance; very manuverable.
