SQUASH RACKET - YOUR FIRST STEP TO GETTING HEALTHY

Squash is a game that can be played at a relaxed pace or a pace that will leave you breathless. It is a fun game that is a great activity that contributes to your well-being. Playing Squash helps in improving cardiovascular health. It also helps you increase your strength and fitness levels while maintaining a healthy weight. It strengthens your back and increases your flexibility. It also promotes the improvement of hand-eye coordination. With so many benefits, you should find it easy to convince yourself to take up the sport of squash. The first step to doing so is to buy yourself a squash racket. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

WEIGHT OF THE SQUASH RACKET

The average weight of Squash Rackets range between 130gm to 150gm (unstrung). Keep in mind that the weights described on the racket frames are usually the weights of the rackets without the strings, paintwork, grommets and the grips on the handles. If your playing style is more attack oriented a racket that is lighter in weight will suit you better.

THE SHAPE OF THE RACKET THROAT

Squash rackets usually have two types of throats. The first type is the open throat. This type of racket has a larger string bed area. This also means that this type of squash racket also has a larger sweet spot and therefore tends to be more forgiving. If you get your strike right, it offers more power. Closed throat squash rackets are somewhat the opposite. They have a smaller string bed, and as a result of that, it has a smaller sweet spot. This type of racket is better for more experienced players.

BALANCE MATTERS

Squash rackets can be designed to be head-light, head-heavy or evenly balanced. The balance you choose is a matter of personal preference. A squash racket that features a head-light based balance offers great maneuverability. This lets you enjoy quick volleys and flick shots. A squash racket that has this kind of a balance setup is more difficult to control at high speeds. On the other hand, head-heavy squash rackets can be easier to control.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) ABOUT SQUASH RACKETS

I) How should I choose the weight of a squash racket?

1. Light-weight squash rackets (130gm or less) are easy to maneuver and provide a good ‘feel’ of the ball. However, they do not generate enough momentum on their own and require powerful swing from squash players. Choose light-weight squash rackets, only if you are an advanced or professional squash player.

2. Medium-weight squash rackets (130-150 gm) are ideal if you are not a highly skilled squash player but looking to improve your game. Medium-weight squash rackets range works best for most squash players.

3. Heavier squash rackets (>150gm) do generate some power but are not easy to control. These squash rackets are fine for beginners or price-conscious buyers.

II) What is balance point and head size?

Balance point is determined by where the centre of balance lies in the squash racket, starting from the base of the handle. A higher balance number signifies a 'head heavy' squash racket. ‘Head light’ rackets feel overall lighter than ‘Head heavy’ squash rackets. However, it is advisable not to pick lop-sided balance in squash rackets, and instead select ‘Even – balanced’ squash rackets. A larger head size gives more surface area for the ball to come in contact with the string, and hence a larger ‘sweetspot’.

III) What are the different material composition of rackets?

Squash rackets are available in three types of composition - in pure or composite (alloy) form.

1. Aluminium – These squash rackets are heavier than the other available options. These are reasonable and good for beginners.

2. Titanium (Ti)– These squash rackets are lighter than aluminium squash rackets, however these are found to be less durable than the graphite variety. Ti squash rackets are perfect for players seeking a balance of power and control.

3. Graphite – These are light-weight squash rackets and generate powerful swing. 100% Graphite squash rackets are expensive, hence if you are looking for a lesser priced squash racket with Carbon technology, you may choose graphite ‘composite’ squash rackets.

IV) Squash rackets are pre-strung. Is it required to re-string them?

Stringing a squash racket according to your personal choice is an important factor, though these squash rackets come pre-strung from us. Regular squash players should re-string their squash rackets after about 2 months of play. Professional squash players use natural gut which are expensive, but provide the best ‘feel’ for. Multi-filament strings are of synthetic type, popular and durable. While stringing, it is important to note that higher tension provides more ‘touch’ for the ball, while lower tension provides more power in the shots.

V) Should I buy a spare squash racket?

Once you feel that a particular squash racket is well-suited to you, do invest in a spare squash racket, to maintain consistency in your game.

These are some of the important factors to consider while selecting your favourite squash racket. However, each individual’s playing technique, level of skill, and squash racket technology also determine the most suited squash racket.

Why are Squash bag sizes measured in rackets?

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.

Is squash racket the same as tennis?

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

How to select a Squash Racket

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.

Is it possible to obtain a squash bag designed solely for transporting rackets?

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.
