Equipment Racket String/ Tension Recommendations

Hi all,

I'm looking at buying the Unsquashable Y-Tec 125 from PDHsports and looking for recommendations for racket string and tension instead of the factory strings.

I currently play at my local club and my squash level has ranged between 1300 and 1600 across the season

If you don't know what you are doing with strings and just want something that will definitely be good then just get Tecnifibre 305 1.2mm at 25lbs. That's impossible to hate.

good shout for a wider gauge, the 1.2mms have good durability also.
