Adult and child squash rackets

Weight and Balance

A squash racket weighs between 110 and 170 grams. Lightweight, it is quick to handle and suits players who hit hard and seek arm speed; heavier, it provides more power with less effort. A head-heavy balance helps beginner players to gain length, while a handle balance promotes control and quick volleys near the wall.

Squash on the Site

Squash also includes:

• Balls, chosen according to the level.
• Shoes.
• String.
• Bags.
• Accessories, grips, and goggles.

Open or Closed Throat

The closed throat, where the frame directly extends the handle, offers a large head and an impact point that is wider: power comes more easily, which suits progressing players. The open throat, with a bridge between the handle and the head, provides more precision and control. At Tecnifibre, the Carboflex emphasises control while the Slash focuses on speed; the Dunlop Tristorm and the Wilson Hyper Hammer, more power-oriented, are more forgiving.

Children's Rackets and Covers

Children's rackets, like the Oliver Sport Punch Turbo, are shorter and lighter, allowing the young player to learn the stroke without becoming fatigued. A cover, like the one from Dunlop, protects the frame and string from shocks during transport. Squash rackets often hit the walls: a protective strip at the head limits wear on the frame.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which squash racket should I choose to start?

A racket that is relatively heavy, balanced at the head, helps to achieve length without forcing and tolerates off-center hits. A large head also increases the effective hitting area.

How should I hold a squash racket?

You hold the racket in a hammer grip, as if you were driving in a nail, with the V created between the thumb and index finger on the side of the handle. This unique grip works for both forehand and backhand, with a loaded wrist and a high racket head.

What is the best brand of squash racket?

There isn't just one: Tecnifibre, Head, Dunlop, or Prince equip all professional players. The right racket depends mainly on your playing weight, the desired balance, and your level.

How often should I restring a squash racket?

A squash string often loosens and breaks from friction against the wall. A regular player restrings several times a year as soon as the racket loses control or the strings move.

When should I switch from a junior racket to an adult racket?

The change occurs when the child grows and the junior racket becomes too short and light for their stroke. A lightweight adult racket makes this transition easier without losing the technique they've learned.
