Been using the Gel Rocket 11 for a good year and they've come undone. Can't find the same shoe in a wide size anywhere on the internet and tried the wide size in the Rocket 12s today but the midfoot plastic plate feels incredibly rigid and stiff and the shoe overall is just a lot more arched and harder (I think ASICS calls it the Trusstic system) . Any recs? Totally at a loss for a wide similarly lightweight shoe but haven't given up hope on finding a Gel Rocket 11 in some crevice of the internet 🥲🥲

Hey, after a very frustrating session today where I could barely hold on to my racket because it was so slippery, I want to look for new over grips. I currently have a 1.75mm main grip and the tecnifibre contact pro (0.6mm) over grip. But, they lose their tackiness at about 5h of playing.

I am currently intrigued by the Karakal X-Tac or the Pro's Pro Ultra Tacky (0.7mm). I haven't heard of the second one ever but I would not be unhappy about a slightly thicker grip overall and the price is pretty good (about 0.5€ if you buy 60 like here https://www.pros-pro.com/en/ultra-tacky-60box-white.html)

Does anybody have experience with over grips? Or is it just normal that they have to be changed ever three sessions?

Hey r/TalknTennisPodcast !,

You know how annoying it is to argue over the score mid-game!

To solve this, I built All Sports Score Keeper: a lightweight, distraction-free scoreboard app designed to let you keep score directly from your phone, tablet, or right from your wrist.

• 9 Sports Built-in: Dedicated scoring engines with official rules for Tennis, Pickleball, Padel, Badminton, Table Tennis, Squash, Volleyball, and a flexible "Simple Scoring" mode.
• Highly customisable match formats for each sport - so you can adjust to suit your club rules or play with friends.
• Full Smartwatch Integration: Works as a standalone watch app. Keep your score, check match history, and track real-time health stats (HR, calories, steps) via WearOS Health Services/Apple Health.
• Designed for Players: Exactly zero ads to interrupt your flow, and it works 100% offline.
• Various sync options: to sync your completed games and health stats from your watch to your phone.

The app is free to download (App Store - Google Play) with full basic functionality. If you want to deeply customise sets, tiebreaks, or club house rules, there is a Pro upgrade available via a subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase.

I’m actively looking to improve the app, so please download it, test it out during your next match, and let me know what features or improvements you want to see next! If you find it helpful, please share it with your local club or playing partners.

Arts and crafts.

A frozen shoulder has made playing difficult. But I found a few old wooden racquets and spiffed them up for my kids' racquets club display.

I made one with the school letters too.

I built a free app that makes box leagues easy to organize, while also tracking an all-time player ranking, to track long-term progress across multiple seasons, not just the current league.

Sharing it here as box leagues are the backbone of many squash clubs.

How it works :
- Create your club in less than a minute (works as well if you're just a community)
- Set up your league: number of groups, date range, players per box
- Invite players to join OR add them manually. No one is forced to download anything.
- Start the league. Players can self-report matches (with opponent or admin validation), upload photos and follow standings. Leaderboard updates automatically.
- At the end of each cycle (usually 4 to 6 weeks), top of each box gets promoted, bottom gets relegated.

Besides box leagues, the app builds an all-time player ranking and history for your club. It can handle other tournament formats too (knockout, Swiss, etc.), and even court bookings if you need that. It works for other racket sports as well, making it great for multi-sport clubs.

Hi everyone! I am a high school student working on a research paper about how sponsorship value is measured in niche sports like rowing, compared to bigger mainstream sports. I put together a short (~5 minute) anonymous survey about gear/equipment brand loyalty, spending, and how sponsorships show up in the rowing community. I’d really appreciate input from anyone here—rowers, coxswains, coaches, parents, whoever’s part of this community.

No pressure at all if this isn’t something you’re up for, and totally understand if this kind of post isn’t allowed here—just let me know and I’ll take it down. Thanks so much for reading, and thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to respond!

Was it the refereeing standard? Was it Asal cheating? Was it the low fanbase and paywall? Why was it cut?

Heard it on the Squash Radio podcast this morning. It's unconfirmed, but the source is apparently unimpeachable.

Fun while it lasted.

ASICS Gel Tactic 13s.

Coming off the tactic 12s had to size up 0.5. Anyone else?
