Product Notes

The Cyano 120 is new for 2015 in the Head squash rackets lineup, and will set you back about $190.

This year, Head has three versions of the teardrop-shaped Cyano. There’s this one, the Head Graphene XT Cyano 120. There’s also a lighter one, the Head Graphene XT Cyano 110, and a heavier one, the Head Graphene XT Cyano 135.

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.

    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.

    From Nawar via email:

    Actually am using the Cyano Graphene XT 120 ( the yellow racket) it’s a powerful racket and I recently broke the Cyano XT 135 *Red One*
    Ultimate power but it’s heavier…. I felt more comfortable with the 120 version .lighter ..swing faster..perfect choice for an attacking agressive player. I watched some videos for Nour El Tayeb she’s a great player, she knows exactly how to benefit the max from this racket. Any skilled player like to control the T position should try this version.
