    Yellow and blue grips or over grips,
    seems like everyone is using them;
    any ones know the brands?

      In this video, Peter Baker says he switched from Karakal to Climax squash grips. Maybe that’s the brand you are looking for?

    Yep, Gaultier was the first squash player to get sponsored by Under Armour. Tarek followed later on.

    Apparently everyone on the tour is flipping on UA Tshirts, the fabric is great! Ramy still doesn’t have a T-Shirt sponsor surprisingly. My company was trying to lure him in with our own clothing-line range.

    Momen and Gaultier both seem to be using Under Armour shirts, not sure about the shorts. They’re both in the UA shirts even in your British Open equipment review. The logo is a stylized overlapping U and A usually on the front left and then a logo on the back high near the neck.

    Definitely new shoes for Tarek. The racquet is pretty new for him as well – looks like everyone but Nick Matthew leaving Dunlop and/or Hi-Tec.

    Good to see the players picking UnderArmour for kit. They’re a new outfitter for squash (Greg last year after dropping Adidas, Tarek above). Good clothes from them for most any sport.

    Thanks for the recap.

      Hi Brock, yeah Hi-Tec seems to have lost support ever since they switched to the Infinity Flare style of shoe.

      Which players do you see using Under Armour? I haven’t got the knack of identifying the apparel yet 🙂
