How To Choose A Squash Racket

Hi my name is Bob Jaffe I'm the director of coaching at Dulwich Squash in London. I'm going to talk to you about the equipment you are going to need, the kits you are going to use on court, the sort of shots you are going to need to play and how you are going to play them. Choosing your racquet can be quite an auditing process, as there is such a huge range to choose from in terms of the many factories and within the many factors - the number of makes and models that they produce.

The weight of the squash racquet is generally between a hundred and ten to a hundred and sixty grams, with the majority choosing around about a hundred and forty grams with a slide head, a heavy weight which is the weight in the head. It gives you a little bit more power. The best way for choosing any product is how much it will cost you.

Try it out first and if you can go to a club or sport shop where you have that facility, that is definitely the best thing to do. Try different head sizes, the different balances, the different stiffness, and make sure the racquet doesn't get too bugged out. The important thing is to find something that you feel comfortable with and after having found it within your price pocket, then go for it.


As a beginner you shouldn't need to spend more than fifty to sixty pound on a good Racquet. Get the end of season lines, which are available from many factories bearing the shops. During sales time you can very often find yourself some really great bargains.
