Best Squash Rackets for 2023

With the design inspired by Mohamed El Shorbagy, the Carboflex X-Top uses a new revolutionary design. Tecnifibre removed the plastic bumper from the top of the racket and replaced it with aramid fibres (the same materials used in bullet-proof vests) and added PTFE (Teflon) within the frame for maximum shock resistance. This racket cuts through the air quicker than its predecessors for even more power and playability. The X-Top also comes pre-strung in Tecnifibre's premium Dynamix V.P string as standard for maximum power. This racket is also available in 130, 135 and Junior models. 

“This racket is a gamechanger! Watch my full review on YouTube here to hear more. Consistently one of our topsellers, this iconic racket is used by many top pros!”

As used by the 2021 British Open Champion and World No.4 (January 2023), Paul Coll, this racket is a rival to the Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 X-Top. It gets 10/10 for style too with its striking black and gold cosmetic. Squash Gear Reviews called it "one of the best looking squash rackets on the market today". The updated Graphene 360+ technology offers an enhanced feel over its predecessor and the improved frame design allows the strings to move more resulting in extra power. The Adaptive Fan Stringing Pattern also allows you to string for more power or more control (it comes strung for power from factory).

“A very cool choice! I absolutely love the look of this racket and it performs equally well”

As used by Diego Elias, the Dunlop Sonic Core Ultimate 132, offers exceptional control thanks to the classic head shape but still allows you to hit with great power from a larger head size. The latest Flex Touch Resin, in the throat of the racket, offers superb vibration dampening properties as well as a more flexible hitting feel for enhanced comfort. 

“For me this is the best choice for precision players!”

The flagship racket in the Carboflex line up previously used by Mohamed El Shorbagy, along with many other top players. One of the most-spotted rackets in squash clubs around the world!

Leading squash blogger Pierre Bastien of Squash Source cites the Airshaft 125 as the "top squash racket on the Pro Tour".
