Reviews
Here’s Paul from PDH Sports, reviewing this racket, plus the similarly-shaped Head Graphene XT Cyano 135 and Head Graphene XT Cyano 110:
Here’s my own take on this racket. Lots of power, and I was able to find the control after playing with it for a bit. Thanks to Ben from Head for sending me this racket to review.

Here’s Nour again, hitting a few nicks. I think I could watch this on repeat for about 4 hours.
First time on court since the surgery. Feels sweeeeeeetttt to be hitting the ball again!!

I have been currently using the Cyano 120 for several months,
and feels quite comfortable.
Before trying this one, I used the heavier, older version of Graphene model, which was absolutely more powerful but gradually felt a bit heavier for me.
This one, even though it needs more improvement with regard to the design and color (bright yellow color is not so fanciful for middle-aged man like me), it is still powerful and very easy to control the ball. I recommend this one to all the squash players.
