Squashgodfathers advice on racquets

This is one of the most commonly asked question when someone is starting to get into squash.
When deciding to purchase a racquet a few things to consider, are;

1. how much you are prepared to spend
2. how heavy do you want the racquet
3. grip size, thick or thinner ( major cause of tennis elbow )
4. balance, either the weight is heavier in the head or in the handle.
5. appearance, its no good getting a racquet you hate the look of.

Once you have gone through the above check list, you should, if possible, take 2 or 3 onto a court and have a little test hit with them, this may be impossible if not purchased from a squash centre.


It is also worth noting that the worlds most expensive racquet wont make you a better player, or last longer, so dont be driven by price alone.


hope helps
