Good video! However, one minor point: at the end, you cut the wrong angle on the grip. If you make that diagonal cut in the opposite direction, you will get a much tidier result at the top of the grip. Another thing I've seen some players do, is put a thin layer of hockey tape on the racquet before applying the grip. This way, when you remove an old grip, you can remove the hockey tape and all the sticky residue from the old grip goes with it (hockey tape shouldn't leave a residue at all). Otherwise the residue can build up over time - never bothered me, but there you go.
pdhsports I also posted this to www.reddit.com/r/squash/ - you might consider posting there when you add new videos - good community of squash players there.

thanks for the comment/ tips, appreciate any comments or feedback on our channel! I should have had a pair of scissors to hand as well....

pritch68 thanks for this
I use one layer of insulation tape under the new grip so it comes off clean and easy without damaging original grip.
Works every time
Thanks I kept messing the end up because I kept cutting it at the wrong angle and it looked pretty ugly
Thanks for the video, until watching this I thought you started at the top and worked downwards.
Brilliant video! Very helpful.
What grip does Nick Matthew use?
The vid is too far away without detail and low resolution.
Lol most karakal grips are used for hurling not for tennis badminton or squash
