Oliver ORC-A Supralight – ultra-light squash racket for speed and power
The Oliver ORC-A Supralight is an exceptionally light squash racket for advanced club and competitive players. Its approximate 110 g frame weight supports very fast handling and quick reactions during volleys, rapid rallies and late changes of shot direction.
The slightly head-heavy balance ensures that the racket still produces useful power despite its low weight. The ORC-A Supralight therefore combines agility with a dynamic and attacking playing character.
Only 110 g frame weight
The low frame weight makes it easy to accelerate the racket head quickly. It is particularly effective during compact swings, fast volleys and sudden changes of direction.
Ultra-light frames do, however, reward an active swing. Players with established technique can use the low weight for fast and varied squash, while less experienced players may prefer a slightly heavier and more stable racket.
Slightly head-heavy balance for additional power
The slightly head-heavy weight distribution places more noticeable mass towards the racket head. This supports ball acceleration and adds penetration to drives and attacking shots.
The ORC-A Supralight remains considerably easier to handle than a heavy, strongly head-heavy racket, creating a useful combination of speed and controlled power.
Braided Eplon™ for stability and flexibility
The frame is made from Braided Eplon™. The braided material construction is designed to combine low weight with useful stability and flexibility.
The frame remains stable during fast swings and provides direct feedback at impact, while its material character creates a less rigid feel than an exceptionally stiff carbon frame.
Long-string head with a large sweet spot
In the long-string construction, the main strings extend far towards the shaft. The longer strings can flex more at impact and support a lively response and effective ball acceleration.
The open head shape also enlarges the useful hitting area. This helps maintain a stable response on slightly off-centre contacts and provides more assistance than a compact bridge frame.
Vibration damping for improved comfort
Integrated vibration damping reduces unwanted oscillation at impact. This creates a more comfortable response and can improve playing comfort during long training sessions and intensive matches.
The racket still retains enough direct feedback to control length, pace and placement accurately.
Factory strung with Oliver SQ-X5
The ORC-A Supralight is supplied ready to play with an Oliver SQ-X5 string. Its pattern of 13 mains and 11 crosses supports a dynamic string response and controlled acceleration.
The factory string can later be replaced with an individual specialist stringing setup if a different string or tension is preferred.

Who should choose the Oliver ORC-A Supralight?
The ORC-A Supralight suits technically experienced players looking for a particularly fast racket for volleys, early ball contact and attacking squash.
Its slightly head-heavy balance adds power, while the low weight supports rapid reactions. Players who prefer a heavier and calmer impact feel may be better served by a racket with more frame mass.
