Hey everyone, here are some squash equipment updates from the men’s 2019 World Championships in Qatar. This is just a partial list — there’s so many photos and so many new players that I haven’t had time to go through them all, but I’ll try to update the post further after hitting publish. The photos are via the Qatar Squash gallery.
