  • James on Repairing a Cracket Squash Racket:
    Do you have more information on how to do the repair? I have a racquet with a crack in it similar to the pictures posted here and was curious about the process to fix it. →
  • Javier on Prince Venom Pro 950:
    Good morning. Congratulations for an excellent page, with such complete information. Could anyone tell me which Prince string model the Venom Pro comes with, and what is its tensión? Thank you very much. →
  • Pierre on Squash Rules and Squash Scoring Summary:
    Really! I'm showing my age not knowing that. →
  • Winston on Squash Rules and Squash Scoring Summary:
    Correction: in volleyball you don’t have to be serving to win a point, teams score points every rally, similar to squash. →
  • Tjeerd on Karakal BX 130 Gel:
    Excellent racket, played with it for years. Light and powerful. Due to the fanned stringing pattern, the stringbed is quite lively. Thin and somewhat flexible frame. Despite it was labelled as Karakal's "best-selling racket ever", it's a pity that it is no longer in production... →
  • gojeb on Racketware Sensor:
    Hi, I just bought one. I thought I had followed the setup instructions (charging (24 hrs), firmware update, BT pairing to iphone (6s plus) while connected to USB power source). However, once I disconnect from a power source, the sensor does not wake up no matter how many practice swings I take. I've reached out to support at Racketware, but have not heard back yet. Please, is there a step I am missing that you guys did to make your sensor work? Thanks. →
  • Tor Schjølberg on Dunlop Silk Strings:
    Phew... Good to hear. I'm definitely a 305 1.10 guy over a powernick. I can't feel anything with that string but must admit was a fun string to put in my Prince Vortex and just hit damn hard! 😁 From the minimal info about this string online and lack of player reviews I concluded that it must lean more towards 305, so bought it (a reel!!) on impulse. I also got a respons from Jon Sharpe (string doctor) and he said it resemble Rab razor fibre and Unsquashable (natural) which I've only heard positives about. Thank you Tjeerd →
  • Tjeerd on Dunlop Silk Strings:
    Hi Tor, It depends. Both Tecnifibre and Ashaway have a nice selection of squash strings in different gauges, all with their own characteristics. But lets say that we want to compare the Dunlop Silk between the TF 305 1.10 mm and the Ashaway Powernick 18 1.15 mm. I think - but that's only my opinion - that the Dunlop Silk 1.18 - in feel and characteristics - leans more towards the Tecnifibre 305. →
  • Ra Flique on Tecnifibre Dynergy 117 Flexarm:
    Yesterday bought one of them. The scale weight is 150 g, measured balance 360 mm (the same like written on the frame - usually it is more). Stock Tecnifibre grip, stock Synthetic Gut 1,20 strings. Very maneuverable and stiff frame (due to the massive shaft). Good alternative for those who lacks the response / power from Carboflex type of rackets (thin shaft and teardrop shape). →
  • Pierre on Trying Padel as a Squash Player:
    Good point I forgot to mention Paddle Tennis in this post but I actually got to play it last week for the first time. It's actually pretty similar-feeling to Padel except the chicken wire of Paddle is a bit more unpredictable versus the smooth glass of Padel →

About Squash Source

This is a squash gear website that I run in my spare time. My mission here is to build a side business around helping people learn about squash equipment and find the gear that suits them best. You can learn more about Squash Source here.

Squash Source does not sell squash equipment, but instead links to online squash stores where you can buy equipment. The good thing about this setup is I can post gear from all around the world, without having to keep products in stock.

The way this site makes money is primarily through those links to stores. Sometimes if you buy through one of the sponsored links here, Squash Source will get a commission on the sale. Other times, in exchange for linking to them, stores will send me squash equipment, which I review on the site.

So far, I have linked to squash stores in Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, USA, and the UK! See a complete list of my affiliates here.
