Ashaway PowerNick 18
The Ashaway PowerNick 18 is one of the most powerful squash strings on the market and the first choice for both professionals and ambitious club players who refuse to compromise on power or durability. The foundation of this string is a monofilament Zyex core — a material that is naturally stiffer and more energy-efficient than conventional nylon — surrounded by a high-tensile, abrasion-resistant nylon outer layer. That combination makes the Ashaway PowerNick 18 a string that transfers enormous energy to the ball with every shot, without quickly losing tension or feel.
What sets the Ashaway PowerNick 18 apart from other squash strings is the dynamic stiffness of the Zyex monofilaments. Where many multifilament strings absorb energy, the PowerNick 18 returns it directly and explosively. This translates into noticeably more power on every ball — even on shots from the back corners of the court. At the same time, the monofilament construction delivers excellent tension stability, keeping the feel consistent for longer than most alternatives.
The Ashaway PowerNick 18 with a diameter of 1.15 mm is the string for players who combine maximum power with reliable durability and consistent tension stability. The textured outer layer provides extra grip on the ball, giving you greater control over direction and spin. If you are looking for a squash string that is match-ready from the first to the last shot, the PowerNick 18 is exactly what you need.
