Description
AERODYNAMIC D BEAM
Building on the success of our TC series “D“ beam cross section, the REACT models streamline even further to create a perfect blend of ergonomic and aerodynamic function.
Sculpted throat and bridge
Further lowering the frames air resistance, three key areas of the REACT throat have been specifically designed to allow smooth passage of air compared to traditional block radius corners.
RECESSED GROMMET TIPS
The REACT models all feature a new recessed end to our popular over frame grommets. Both aesthetically pleasing and practical, the new design creates clean aerodynamic edge surfaces.
MID SHEEN LOW DRAG
Smoother than Matte, slicker than Gloss, the REACT mid sheen paintwork offers incredibly low resistance to airflow on all shots.
react carbon fibre
Increasing stiffness on impact and enhancing feel, “REACT fibres” are strategically woven into the high modulus carbon used around the hoop of the frames. Closely aligned with our K7 Aramid fibres, the new REACT fibres provide a level of comfort on par with our foam filled models but without the added mass.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this racquet. I have purchased a few Angell custom racquets before. The React has the same great feel and control but with a bit more power. The feel is tremendous with no tension on my arm ( I have had several issues with my elbow and shoulder). Simply a dream racquet. The process with the company is so easy and the shipment process to the US is fantastic. I use the Angell Custom Control Hybrid strings and they are great. Just buy this racquet. You will not regret it and am confident once you do you will be hooked.

Another excellent Angell frame!
My first Angell experience was a TC97 18×20. Excellent frame. A better racket than the Wilson Six One 95 and the Head Prestige MP I grew up with for about 2 decades.
I also play the TC95 16×19; different frame but nevertheless I can switch between the TC97 and the TC95 without any problems.
I ordered a React 96 16×19 with the same specs as my other Angell frames.
Same Angell DNA.
Lots of controll, excellent feel and precision. Although the RA is slightly lower than my 63RA TC95, it feels different. Almost a little bit stiffer. My TC95 has more power, probably due to a higher swingweight but the React has more precision. It looks and feels great. Throat is a little different than the TC95 but holding and swinging the racket feels familiar.
Biggest difference with the TC95 is the stiffer feel but that doesn’t mean more power. Just a bit more precision and control and it’s a little easier to swing.
