Squash Racquets
How to choose squash racquets
Sub-type fit
Pick pure Squash Rackets if you only play squash, or Racketball & Squash for dual use.
Material
Choose material by priority: comfort from nylon/sponge, longevity from rubber/plastic/aramid.
Colour
Weigh colour practicality, as black hides dirt while blue/white or multi helps visibility.
Listing category
Scan Athletics and Sporting Goods labels if you want general kit, not a dedicated racket.
Player tier
Note the player tier in listings, with adult recreational frames versus pro balanced ones, to suit your level.
What's good
- Dedicated Squash Rackets listings give you frames shaped for the faster, tighter squash court.
- Racketball & Squash options let a single frame cover both games, handy if you play both.
- Nylon/sponge material brings a softer grip and cushions off-centre hits during long rallies.
- Rubber/plastic/aramid construction stands up to frequent club use and resists edge wear.
Things to watch
- Athletics and Sporting Goods entries can be broad multi-sport items, with less squash focus.
- Nylon/sponge grips degrade faster under sweat, so they need more regular cleaning.
- Hybrid Racketball & Squash frames may trade some precision for their extra versatility.
- Pale colourways like white or green/white show scuffs more than black or blue/black.
Care & maintenance
Grip care
Wipe nylon/sponge grips down after play to preserve tack and prevent sweat soak.
Frame check
Check rubber/plastic/aramid frame edges for court scrapes before each session.
Storage
Keep any racket out of direct heat, as warmth slowly loosens string tension.
Rotation
Rotate two frames if you train weekly, giving strings and grip time to recover.
