Reviews:

The Tecnifibre Carboflex 125 Basaltex Multiaxial appeared in 2013 and quickly became very popular amongst pros, club or intermediate players – it’s definitely one of the best squash racquets ever made (and also a racket of choice of World No.1 Mohamed El Shorbagy).

So why is it so popular? It offers a great combination of power, maneuverability and durability. The frame is very light but thanks to the large head and long main strings it offers a tremendous power – and with that low weight you can easily hammer every shot you make even during long rallies.

The second main advantage is maneuverability – it’s just awesome, the racquet is light and quick, excellent for volleying, aggressive play and deceptive shots as well. The feel is also great, there are almost no vibrations, plus ball control and touch are on a very solid level as well.

Of course, there are also some disadvantages – the grip is not that good, but most importantly the sweet spot is very unforgiving. When you hit it, you feel that incredible power immediately – but when you miss, the ball doesn’t go where you want it at all. So the Carboflex 125 is rather recommended for experienced players.

Overall, the excellent power and maneuverability make this racket suitable for many kinds of players, for those who like to volley, for a basic length game or even for drops. And that additional durability is a nice icing on the cake.
