ASHAWAY / BLACK KNIGHT SIGN DAVID PALMER


The squash manufacturing team of Ashaway and Black Knight is very pleased to announce the signing of squash legend, David Palmer, to a long-term sponsorship agreement. David is currently ranked 4th in the PSA World rankings and is a three-time British Open and two-time World Open Champion.

David has been sponsored by Ashaway Racket Strings for more than five years and has played with Ashaway’s PowerNick 18 since this popular red string was first introduced to the Ashaway squash string line. On the other hand, David’s sponsorship with Ashaway’s Canadian Distributor and world-renowned squash racket manufacturer, Black Knight, is completely new, as he was previously sponsored by another racket manufacturer for his entire career.

David, his wife and young daughter will move to the United States from Belgium in February. From his Boston, Massachusetts base at the famous University Club, David will be playing in all of the major North American (USA and Canada) and World tour events. In addition to playing with Ashaway strings and Black Knight frames at these PSA events, David will be promoting Ashaway and Black Knight at squash camps, clinics, and exhibitions worldwide every year.As part of David’s agreement with Black Knight, a high-end range of David Palmer signature rackets will be developed by Black Knight and made available to the worldwide squash market in September 2008. All of the new Palmer rackets will be sold strung with Ashaway’s PowerNick 18 and all of the existing Black Knight squash frames will continue to be strung at the factory with Ashaway strings.
