- Rod on Asics Blast FF 3:
I got a pair of these a few weeks ago through the Asics website ($99US) and after a few sessions with them I would say they are better than both prior versions. They cover all the boxes as they offer great traction, support and comfort. Durability wouldn't seem to be a concern based on the prior versions but I'm a little concerned that the material in the primary toe drag area as it doesn't seem to be strongly reinforced. Otherwise I look forward to playing in these for a long time →
- Benjamin Horner on Paul Coll’s 2024 Racket:
Surprisingly, Paul Coll didn't switch to the Head Radical 120 SB but to the Heavier 135 SB version in order to get more power as well as more control. Source: https://squashgearreviews.com/paul-coll-amanda-sobhy-new-squash-rackets/ →
- kevin on Black Knight Hex Maverick:
Having said that, you can at least get the newer blue version of the Hex from BK, so availability should be better. I've always preferred the traditional/closed throat frame but I bought a BK Pro X for my son and I really like how it plays. →
- Kevin on Black Knight Hex Maverick:
Hello, Not Rob 🙂 but I've played primarily with BK racquets for nearly 10 years and have used the Ion Element PSX Selby model for the last 3-4 years. IMHO, the newer Hex Mav Selby felt a little stiffer/more harsh and not as plush as the older Ion Element. Power was good and it's a great looking frame but I broke mine in 3 months. The Ion Element has a more plush/dampened feel, slightly more flex (which I prefer) and has been an absolute tank in terms of durability. The ball comes of the strings with a thud vs a ping like you get in Harrow frames or a lot of modern racquets. I've bought a few on the big auction site for pennies on the dollar. I also have 1 of the black PSX version and it's slightly lighter and certainly feels quicker on court. I'll take it out later in long matches of if I'm playing drop in for for 1-2 hours. Cheers! →
- Pierre on We’re Back Baby:
Thanks! You asking if I was still alive is what tipped the balance 🙂 →
- Francesco on We’re Back Baby:
Welcome back Pierre ! →
- Pierre on We’re Back Baby:
Not really fair is it 🙂 Looking foward to getting back into it! →
- Tjeerd on We’re Back Baby:
Hi Pierre, Been there: day job eating up all the energy, not leaving any room for side projects. (-‿-") Anyway, good to see you back and looking forward to your new posts! 🙂 →
- Mubeen on About Squash Source:
Hi Salma, Any racket will get you started - however your level of game play would necessitate the right racket. Generally a good go to for new and intermediate players with the right swing would be a Head Cyano 115. Its got loads of power to get the ball to the front wall, a massive sweet spot to allow you to mis-hit but still get a decent shot out of it and a balance of head heavy - so that you dont dib at the ball for a shot, you actually make a proper swing and get some weight behind the ball. I hope this helps ! →
- Rob on Black Knight Hex Maverick:
Hey Scott, what would you say are the differences between the old orange Selby racquet and the new Hex Maverick (either 2019 or 2023 model). Finally had to retire my old racquets after 5 strong years and looking to replace them with either the Maverick, the Dunlop Ultimate / Elite, or the Tecnifibre Slash →
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.
You can also support Squash Source directly (and get your own login for commenting on the site).
