The Salming Recoil Kobra seems to be Salming’s 2022 upgrade of the Salming Kobra 3. Here’s a side-by-side comparison between the Kobra 3 (on the left) and the Salming Recoil Kobra (on the right). Looks like the sole is pretty similar across both shoes but they’ve made changes to the upper material. Here are some […]
Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Top 125
Here comes the new Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Top 125. This is launching in 2022 and replacing the Carboflex Airshaft 125. The Carboflex 125 is Tecnifibre’s flagship model and I’m guessing their top seller across their whole range, so you can expect to see this racket everywhere soon. Notes on the Carboflex X-Top 125 Tons of top […]

Adidas Ligra 7
The Adidas Ligra 7 is an indoor court shoe from Adidas that follows on from the Adidas Ligra 6. It’s been a while since I saw anyone wearing Ligra models but Karim Abdel Gawad popped up at the British Open wearing the white pair. Spotted Karim Abdel Gawad in 2022:
Kirschbaum Gut Feeling
This string is called Kirschbaum Gut Feeling (haha). I think this is probably the string Paul Coll plays with. Paul mentions here that he plays with “Kirschbaum natural gut”. Kirschbaum do have a Natural Gut string but I’m guessing Paul uses the “Gut Feeling” string in Natural color. StringJob.nl says he uses the 17 gauge […]
Wilson nRage
The Wilson nRage squash racket: I got a chance to test this out per the video below. Even though it was ten bucks cheaper than the other Wilson rackets in this video (the nTour Classic and Tour N), I liked it the best because of the head-light balance point. It felt a little more control-oriented.
Karakal Raw Pro 2.0
The Karakal Raw Pro 2.0 is Joel Makin’s signature racket: Karakal Raw Pro 2.0 Info and Reviews Here’s a video that PDH Sports put together with Joel. It seems like Karakal have taken the “Raw” frames (e.g. the Karakal Raw 110) and customized the cosmetics and balance to Joel’s specifications:
