Yes, this was one of my first rackets! From memory I wasn't a huge fan at the time and quickly moved onto a new racket. Tecnifibre massively improved the Dynergy with the APX update though. However, my preference should have no bearing on whether you like a racket - I'm sure there's plenty of people out there who love it!

@@SquashGearReviews thank you

Hi mate - yes, the insoles are removable 🙌👍

Lovely comment, thank you (the bits that made sense, anyway). This is common knowledge. Everyone knows pros get their rackets restrung before using them. Stock strings are notoriously poor compared to ones strung by a proper stringer. However, this video is a purely objective look at how the racket plays from factory, which is how a lot of amateur players will use it before the strings break.

@@SquashGearReviews Thanks for the info. As a new player, I didnt know this :)

Wow… as an amateur even I know the pros restring to their liking. But I want to know the stock value of the racket to grow with it and once I get better at the game know how I would like it strung. You comment doesn’t hold any validity to this video as he is reviewing as stock, which is exactly what I want.

Favourite shoes by a long shot - the new Asics Gel Tactics 👍

Unfortunate - though lots of these rackets are now unavailable in the UK too as they're older stock. Not good to hear the price in Poland though - hopefully the prices come down a bit!

@@SquashGearReviews from these I have on my radar now, what can You recommend more for a beginner or semi-advanced player: Dunlop Hyperfibre XT Revelation 125 or Tecnifibre Carboflex 135 Airshaft? Or something else commonly available in stock up to equivalent of 85 GBP?

@@JBubbs very difficult question as the two rackets are fundamentally quite different - both great rackets in their own right, but feel very different in practice. Don't think you'd be disappointed with either - on intuition I'd say the Dunlop is a very safe bet 👍

@@SquashGearReviews Thank You:)

@@SquashGearReviews I've made a purchase, today. I bought Dunlop Sonic Core Revelation 125. I have to admit - it got me with its stealth esthetics;)

Feels very similar to Airshaft, just a little quicker through the air. X-speed felt much lighter, but that might just be the stock strings, to an extent. Looking to test this with some different strings in the new racket once the stock ones go.

Thanks mate! Hope you're keeping well!

Will let you know when I change the grip round 👍 in terms of grip thin-ness it's definitely on a par with Dunlop's rackets. It's noticeably different to the regular TF grip size.

Never tried the 11s unfortunately! Look to be a completely different kind of shoe however, so likely very little comparison between the two

@@SquashGearReviews thanks....I appreciate your review nonetheless!

Very hard to say - I've never played basketball so not really sure of the requirements - I can't see why they wouldn't work, but then again you're probably best buying a dedicated pair of basketball shoes for the same price

@@SquashGearReviews I bought them and did not see that they were not for basketball, what a pity ...

@@oyoyhead6391 honestly I'm sure they'll be absolutely fine - they're a generic indoor court shoe - Adidas spec them as handball, volleyball, squash and netball on their website - if you add up all those movements you've pretty much covered all of basketball haha.

@@SquashGearReviews Thank you for the answer)

You want specific shoes for basketball which can give you range of motion and bounce. Indoor court racket games don't require big jumps like basketball does. But, they should be fine - though they won't give you a competitive edge.

If I had to pick one - the Karakal Raw 120 is a total steal - the new frame is £55 at PDH. It would be hard not to recommend that racket if someone was on a tighter budget!

@@SquashGearReviews awesome, many thanks for that. If I don't find some decent second hand rackets I'll look into them

Good racquet for your level, and for intermediate player. It is a good purchase.

On my radar - expect to see reviews of their next line of rackets when they're released 👀

@@SquashGearReviews Yay! I will stay tuned for that video :)

What did you get? I’m using a Dunlop Blackstorm Ti Power it’s help up quite nicely.

@@dennishamilton8009 I ended up upgrading slightly to another sports direct special, the racket is a prince turbo power, it's again pretty cheap as they go, but seems ok and looks cool. Haven't actually had chance to play in quite a while though, perhaps this is my year to get back into it. 🤞

Slimbody racquets are the best improvement a company has done in his racquet since the graphite racquets.

The one I tested was very, very similar to the 125 and the 130 - though that could be down to manufacturing tolerances, as rackets can be either +/-5g over/under their advertised weight. It was only a little bit heavier but played very similarly - a great racket still!

They've held up really well! Pleasantly surprised!

Technifibre are much more costly than Karakal 120

Enjoy them! They're great shoes, very different to the Stabil-X but a welcome change for me! (there's still the Crazyflight Mid shoes for any hardcore fans of the Stabil X - hope to have a review of the low cut versions of those soon!)

I said 'arguably' the best player - and there's plenty of arguments to support this. Jahangir and Jansher had the titles and winning streaks that place them firmly as two of the greatest ever players, that's undeniable. On stats alone, Jahangir is clearly the best player of all time, that goes without saying. However in terms of pure natural talent and ability I think it's very hard to find a player that comes close to Ramy. He played the game his own way and it was pure poetry to watch. His skill, deception, reading of the game, temperament, racket abilities and movement around the court were like nothing we've ever seen or probably ever will see, hence why I'd argue he's one of squash's all time greats. Purely personal opinion, but I know there's a lot of people that would be inclined to agree haha👍

Hows the durability on the ultimate? is it the hyperffibre version?

@@omihitman Dunlop are very durable rackets they are bulletproof. Dunlop hyperfibre ultimate

I bought the Head Nano 115 Ti yesterday and am looking forward to it when it arrives. He was on sale for 60€, I think that's a fair price. I started the sport 2 weeks ago and so far only with borrowed rackets. Am curious about the difference. do you have any experience how the club is? it is not in your list.

Bought the Wilson Hyper Hammer 120, its a bit gimmicky but gets the job done. Would it upgrade my game if I went for a more modern racket?

@@Willianuswortelus not at all, the hyper hammer 120 is a solid racket used by many, many players. A different racket definitely won't change or improve your game much at all, however you might simply just find more joy in using a different racket, all about finding out what you like and sticking with it! 👍

How is Head i.x.120

@@sushilshetty8150 yeah same question how is the head t115
