Tecnifibre SLASH 125 Mostafa Asal

Brand new for the 2023/24 season, the SLASH range is endorsed by squash's most exciting player, Mostafa Asal!

Never shy of controversy, Asal has taken the squash world by storm, reaching the world #1 men's ranking and winning 3x World Tour Finals in a row.

This is the SLASH 125 model which shares equal flagship billing with the lighter 120 version. The SLASH 125 weighs 125g, has a 485cm2 head and oversize 390mm2 shaft, which makes it particularly suitable for intermediate and club players. It is more forgiving and powerful than the SLASH 120 model, which is targeted at club and elite players. Hence the SLASH 120 is billed as "For Mostafa", whilst the SLASH 125 is billed as "Play Like Mostafa"!

This is what Tecnifibre has to say:

Designed for the new squash superstar, Mostafa Asal, the SLASH range breaks the mould of traditional rackets with “open core” ergonomics, a new construction that maximises power and an exceptional look.

All the rackets in the range are equipped with X-TOP revolution. No bumper, 100% performance, a completely new racket head construction where the bumper has been replaced by a combination of active fibres for maximum resistance, speed and playability. The plastic bumper has been replaced by a mix of aramid fibres, the most impact-resistant material, and a PTFE treatment to improve slide and protect the frame against abrasion from the floor or walls. Without the bumper, the racket becomes much smoother and penetrates the air better for maximum swing speed and power. With the plastic replaced by this material, there are more fibres in the racket for greater responsiveness and less vibration for greater comfort.

Designed for attacking players looking for winning shots, the SLASH 125 squash racket represents the ultimate in speed and power.

Extremely light, with a frame weight of 125 g, it's the best in maneuverability for maximum swing speed and power.

To optimise power even further, the racket is built using YOKE POWER TECHNOLOGY: larger and longer 485 cm² head to increase string elasticity, narrower open core with external reinforcements for greater rigidity and a larger 390 mm² oversize shaft for maximum power.

Pre-strung in 305 green, the benchmark for the squash market, and Tecnifibre's most elastic string for the best compromise between power and comfort.

Innovation like this calls for an exceptional design. A sleek white base and X-TOP in light grey for pure elegance. From a colour point of view, a strong choice with fluorescent green in a graphic weave. The TF logo has been "slashed" by Mostafa to blend in with the Tecnifibre lettering and the racket frame.
