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.

If you’ve played with it, please leave a review in the comments below!

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.

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.
