Thanks for the shoutout. Feel free to buzz me anytime for any geeky stuff. Keep up the good work.

[@thesquashbagel]

Hey Jon Will definitely do so. Appreciate it.

Thanks for the shoutout! 🙌 Hope you get to try it as well, I'd recommend trying the 1.15 if you get the chance to, the 1.09 I've been using is ok and all, but strung @26lbs in the X-Top 125 it still feels quite a bit stiff (likely just due to this racket being pretty stiff in general). Also if you want a new Ashaway string to try, throw in the blue Ultranick 18 1.15, that one is my fav of the Ashaway strings, however I have not tried the Powernick 18 in a while... I will get a pack to experiment with soon 😁

Lovely, well done.

Many thanks!

Great vid! I've been playing with the ZX Micro for the last 3 years - 24lbs is the perfect blend of power and feel for me with this string.

[@thesquashbagel]

Hey there. That's awesome. I've been playing with the X-One Biphase lately and noticed that it has a similar feel, if not better. But if it isn't broken, don't fix it. Glad you've found a string that you can rely on for 3 solid years.

I use Kirschbaum 1.09 and 1.15 in my TF Carboflex 125 airshaft. Superb! Also use Pacific Natural Gut but fairly expensive. I string the rackets for my club on a TF Ergo Pro ATP and people love the Ashaway micro ZX you mentioned.

[@James-sw9vm]

What tension for Kirschbaum?

[@dennisbeekelaar1397]

I use 11 or 11,5 for the 1,15gauge

[@aaronherrera4400]

I really like the dynamix, I remember when it used to be called the 305+. I found the Ashaway SuperNick ZX 1.25mm gave too much feel, it was really distracting. The ball would just grab onto the string. I don't know if a lower tension or a higher tension would be better.

[@thesquashbagel]

Hey Aaron. I had the ZX at 27/28 lbs and found it too distracting. Didn’t drop the tension lower as it was on a teardrop frame, but have a go and let me know.

[@James-dz5vu]

Have you tried Technifibre X-One Biphase ?

[@thesquashbagel]

Yes I did this year. Still prefer the 305 1.1 for how I play. Do you prefer the X One Bi-Phase to the 305?

[@AnshJain-xk6pi]

Which string amongst these have the highest durability

[@thesquashbagel]

Probably the Suffix PU Multifibre but what you get in durability, you lose in power and feel. Durability also depends on a number of factors. How often you cycle rackets, do you break strings near the frame or in the middle. Do you apply a lot of cut on the ball?

[@thesquashbagel]

There’s no quick answer but a general guide will be the thicker string would be more durable.

Great video. Thank you for making the effort to make squash related videos. Just one critique. Your speech is quite monotonic and droning. I'm saying this as a friend. Hope you take this constructively. Get some pauses, change tone and pitch depending on the material. Again, thanks so much. I do like your videos and am a subscriber 😊

[@thesquashbagel]

Thanks for the tip! Appreciate it 😁
