The Tecnifibre Dynergy APX squash rackets are an update of Tecnifibre’s previous Tecnifibre Dynergy AP models.
There are three rackets in the range:
These have the same general mold as the previous Dynergy APs, however Tecnifibre has significantly overhauled the stringing and grommet pattern.
They’ve now got a traditional stringing pattern instead of a fan shape. They’ve also reworked the racket throat to be a conventional style with grommets, ditching the previous Prince-style looped strings in the throat.
Here’s a closeup of the new racket throat:
You can see the difference compared to the old Dynergy AP 125:
In addition to the racket changes, Tecnifibre will also be stringing the 120 and 130 with Tecnifibre X-One Biphase 1.25mm string in a new orange color, instead of DNAMX.
I actually got a chance to hit with these briefly in December, in a top-secret undisclosed testing facility, but Tecnifibre asked me not to post about them until the launch was official. PDH Sports mentioned them in a vlog today and posted the rackets for presale, so I assume the embargo has lifted!

Thanks to Jard, Richard and possibly others for the tips!

I’m thinking of buying the 135 but can’t make my mind up.
I bought the X speed 125 and can’t get on with it at all. I don’t understand why so many people race about it in all honesty.
I’d like to hear from anyone who is using APX range and ask what they think?
Does it have a nice feel? Big sweet spot? Forgiving? Robust against the wall?
I’d most likely swap out the 135 standard string and go for the 305 or DNAMX

I’ve got the 135 (a few comments on it on the specific page). In short, it is really good, and I feel I’ve more all-round control (and heaps more power) than with my Carboflex 135S. I’ve not been playing long, but the APX has had a huge impact on all sorts of aspects of my game. I say get it.

Thanks so much! Yep..I think I’m gonna pull the trigger and pick one up. Everything I’m reading and seeing is very positive!

Looking to buy the new apx, but not quite sure which one. 120/130/135… Any recommendation?
Kevin says

Depends. What do you use now? Are you looking for something different?
Nicolas says

Using the carboflex right now, but not my favorite. Looking for a more forgiving racket.
Kevin says

Which carboflex lol and heard these are more forgiving than the dynergy so might be good to try

very strange… the prince-like stringing pattern and grommets were very good on dynergy ap 125. the only good modification seems to be the new string. dynamx string broke very quickly. i love my dynergy ap 125 and now i am a bit sad. it is very hard to get nowadays a proper prince racket, and now this prince-styled stringing patterned technifibre will also disappear. I believe the outgoing model must have been a failure on the market, and even rodriguez stopped using it. but still, for me it was/is a very good racket.

Like you mentioned, I don’t think the original Dynergy AP models sold very well overall, so Tecnifibre are trying something new. Probably part of the reason the strings broke quickly on the old models was the ring-style stringing pattern itself takes a toll on the strings.
In other news, it appears Prince is bringing out some new models such as the Phoenix Pro. Hopefully they will get their distribution sorted out for 2019…
