While various players may use the space for different things, everyone knows how big a racquet is and how much room it takes up. While a player may use the space in a 12 racquet sports bag to store 12 racquets, another player can estimate how much space that bag will have for other gear if it only contains two racquets.

No, they are not. A tennis racquet is larger than a squash racquet due to the limited space on the squash court.

A racquet-based sport is nothing without the racquets and choosing the perfect ones can sometimes become a hassle. Let us tell you some of the vital factors to keep in mind while looking for squash racquets so you don’t get overwhelmed, whether you are a newbie or a seasoned player. Shape ® Traditional- Made for accuracy in aim. ® Teardrop- Due to a larger head, this increases the probability of a hit. ® Hybrid- Has features of the other two varieties. Weight ® Heavy-Anything above 140 grams. Preferred by new players and not regulars. ® Midweight- 130-140 grams, they are very popular among players and give power and stability. ® Light-weight- 120-130 grams, these lighter racquets are becoming favorites among regular Squash players. ® Ultra-light- Anything under 120 grams. Used by skilled players. Balance ® Head heavy- Most weight is in the front. Delivers more power to your shots. ® Even- The weight is evenly spread. Gives a balance between power and strength. ® Headlight- The mass is placed in the bottom of the racquet. Gives more speed. After these technical facts, you may have some idea, as to what are the preferred traits players look for while choosing their racquets. Now you have to pick carefully which of these features are to your comfort and preference. Don’t just go for the combination which everyone is using. Talking about racquets, we cannot forget about squash grips. These are the parts that ensure a steady hold on the racquet. Sweat or the inertia of motion can send your racquet flying from your grip and the tackiness (stickiness) of the squash grip prevents this.

Most squash kit bags offer enough capacity for other gear or items you might want to bring to the squash court. If you only want to carry a racket, choose either protective covers or storage covers for squash instead of the larger bags.
