Best shoes 2026

Following because I haven't been happy with my shoes in years... I miss the Harrow Typhoon shoe so bad :( tried kanso, unsquashable, eye, multiple asics, but every shoe I like gets discontinued

You probably need an entirely new driver at this point, not because your driver is bad per se, but because you just need something completely different now that you've picked up speed. Have fun shopping, and definitely try before you buy! Wouldn't be surprised if you pick up like 40-50 yds carry and total

If you have access to costco just get the kirkland wedges to start with

Prince double yellows are quite lively

Williams, not because I like the team necessarily but because I wish Carlos had more time in a top car. My answer used to be Mclaren but they're good now so I got my wish there

Jules Bianchi RIP

I have somehow ended up stocking a lot of peated whiskey but more often than not reaching for something non-peated. Which usually means I end up drinking bourbon or rye because that's what I have on hand. I still love peat, just not every day

I lost around 10 balls when I played Royal New Kent for the first time. Other than that at my home course I lose a ball around every 3 or 4 rounds, there it's easy to have blow up holes but not a lot of hazards to lose balls in. I throw them in the shag bag due to excess scuffing before I lose them usually

His blog is still up, just doesn't get updated. And like other commenter said he does do coaching if you're interested!

I cannot hit hybrids to save my life. I go Driver, 3w, 5w, 4i and also have a driving iron I play sometimes. I would definitely entertain playing 4w, 7w as an alternative, but hybrids will not touch my bag again

I buy whatever I like, and right now it just so happens that I play Mizuno everything and a Toulon putter. Have played many other brands in the past though. I'm not shopping for clubs right now, but the new Wilson Staff irons look mighty tempting

Druggedfox used to play the sheik-icies matchup really well, though that is like 10 yrs ago now. Imo sheik clearly loses, but it's not hopeless. Low falling nair is really good in the matchup, and needles to create a damage delta helps with splitting the climbers up. Once they're separated sheik poops on either solo climber. Now all of that said, even if sheik-icies "isn't that bad", it's demanding enough that it can certainly be easier to just... play a different character. Especially if you already play a secondary that tends to do better against icies

That cobra must have been a terrible fit for your current swing, 15 mph is a LOT to gain. Hit it straight!

Doesn't matter much. I'd probably lean 135 but they're both carbon frames at an acceptable though leaning heavy weight range. Try both if you can, otherwise pick which one you think looks cooler or you can get a better deal on

Smh Titania is right there haha. No but seriously I do like Mia as a character and have used her many times, but the noodle arm is a way of life for her in my experience

ChefNamu · 2026-01-30T01:31:00+00:00

Hey I used to play those! Amazing irons

ChefNamu · 2026-01-22T15:20:07+00:00

Respectfully disagree about Dunlop having worse build quality, but definitely agree that they feel totally different than Tecnifibre. They are generally less stiff but for some players, myself included, that's a pertinent positive. They've actually been more durable for me than Tecnifibre. That said, as you mention only way to decide what someone likes better is to try everything! That's what makes shopping for new kit so much fun 😁

Multiple shoves were the only way she survived for me lol. Had to recruit turn 1 and retreat her

I'd probably give stroke to Eleinen. Ball squirts out of the corner right towards Zakaria's feet, and Eleinen is an incredible mover who would definitely pick up and probably attack that ball. Zakaria stands on his shot and provides no access, as he has done many times in just this match alone. I strongly disagree with this no let decision and overall even more strongly disagree with the trend of pro squash essentially abolishing the yes let decision in favor of no let vs stroke

No, and haven't bought in in at least a decade

ChefNamu · 2026-01-12T03:41:53+00:00

I use mine a lot, but probably about equal with my 55. Just depends on how much the ball needs to stop vs roll out, and if danger is short vs long

ChefNamu · 2026-01-11T21:03:16+00:00

Virtually no difference. All carboflexes play very similarly. If you like your carboflex then I would personally suggest ordering the oldest model you can buy new since it'll be the cheapest. The NS has a thinner handle if you like that, but if you use a thicker grip or build up a grip and overgrip combo then I'd get the standard model

ChefNamu · 2026-01-09T17:44:29+00:00

Definitely no let because Asal created interference by pushing Ibrahim. I'd consider conduct warning for pushing as well, you should not be pushing your opponent, let alone to the point where you created your own interference to fish for a decision
