Black Knight is a Canadian company that was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1976. Black Knight now distributes to many countries all over the world.  They have distributors in some places like: Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Egypt, France, Russia, and Switzerland.  But they remain committed and passionate about the sports they love.  Black Knight has been a leader in the development of squash and badminton.  They were the first to market, "full graphite shafts, true one-piece graphite rackets, wide body frames, inverted racket heads, 67 and 68 cm racket lengths in badminton, graphite/aluminum hybrids, TurboFlex shafts, high tension frames, the Control 2000 speed adjustment system, TUF Grip, Power Channel, VibraPlate, the Knight Trainer, Magnum oversize frames in squash and badminton."  Black Knight also calculates the rigidity factor of a racket.  This means that the higher the RF number the stiffer the racket is going to be.  The RF number ranges from between 74 and 95.  This allows for a player to better choose a racket to suit their needs.
