Is it possible to play racquetball on a squash court? There aren’t any courts around where I live, and I’m just wondering if squash players would turn their nose up to something like that.

Also, if anyone lives near or around Oshawa, Ontario… Would you know where I could find a court BESIDES Kingsway College?

An American squash court is 5ft longer and 5ft wider than a regular racquetball court, however the international squash court dimensions are pretty different.

The front wall of a squash court will have a a line about 17 inches off the floor called the "tin" which is usually raised off the wall (like a dado rail) and will cause the ball to take a different trajectory if hit. The upper line on the front wall is a similar height at about 20ft, and you can ignore the lines on the side walls.

The squash service line is quite a bit further back from the front wall – it lies approximately 5ft beyond where the receiving line is in racquetball!

Personally I think you should be fine playing the game, but in terms of serving and floor markings you might have to have some kind of gentleman’s agreement beforehand when determining service.

Hey guys,

Here are the Dunlops

Here are the wilsons

Any recommendations ?
Thanks tojours for replying. I’m an intermediate player, I play once or twice a week within my university, so I’m not an amateur yet not a professional.

My priorities in a racket is that it doesn’t break easily, big enough headsize, shots are strong and have control. I don’t worry about the weight, price, etc.

I like the Dunlop Aerogel 4D Ultimate, but I heard it breaks easily. I also like the Wilson K Factor Blade FX, and the Wilson K Factor Sonix FX, Are the BLX ones better for me ?

I’ve had both Dunlop and Wilson. I actually prefer Head and Prince better than the formers. I play and compete with Head’s Cyano 115. It’s one of the lightest racquets out there and I have a lot of control in my play. I’ve previously owned Wilson’s One20 BLX. Dunlop’s Aerogel 4D Elite is another good racquet. I highly suggest all of those.

It all really depends how advanced you are in squash. If your a beginner, you don’t need an expensive racquet. I suggest going with the Prince Starer Pack because it comes with a racquet, goggles, blue ball, and carrying case. If your a beginner, look for a heavier racquet >155grams. If your more advanced look for a lighter racquet <140grams.

edit: All lighter racquets do break easier, but they are the only type of racquet that will give you the necessary amount of control. I suggest you buy two of the same racquets, that way if a racquet does break, you have a spare. I didn’t have a Dunlop Aerogel 4D Ultimate, but I did own the 4D Elite, and it seemed sturdy. The strings broke on one occasion, but that was simple enough to fix. I have a friend who has the Ultimate and hers did snap in half, but it was because she was being careless.

My preference over the ones you mentioned is the Dunlop Aerogel, but the others you mentioned are fine. I’ve never played with the Wilson K Factor Sonix FX, but I have demoed the Blade FX and it was a good racquet, the Sonix is also an FX series racquet, so it probably preforms around the same level. FX racquets are stiffer, which I really liked because they gave me more control. I really preferred the BLX over the FX, though, because my shots felt a lot smoother and the grip has more shock absorption.

I suggest demoing each racquet and hit yourself rails for an hour or so to get a feel for each racquet. If you have a friend around, play a match and see which you prefer. I still say that the Head Cyano is still the way to go, but the ones you named are very good racquets too.

Video: Royal Rumble Highlights
Intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwNYsy_5SLM
Michael Cole and Tazz at ringside tonight: SmackDown!
- WWE Tag Team Champions Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero and Booker T vs. The Basham Brothers vs. Mark Jindrak and Luther Reigns in a Fatal 4 Way Tag Team Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship

WWE Champion JBL and his Cabinet come to the ring, The Champion says "Last Sunday, I beat both Kurt Angle and The Big Show in a Triple Threat match for the WWE Championship" And now to what matters this past Monday Night you people thought that I would run down Dave Batsita, Well i didn’t, I would never step foot in a RAW Arena, and you know that!
Then we see Batista arriving at the SmackDown! arena and then he fully disses on JBL’s limo wrecking the holy hell out of it. JBL then sends his Cabinet (Orlando and The Bashams) to go check on Batista but then Batista leaves.

Match 1: Singles Match
Rene Dupree w/Kenzo Suzuki and Hirokio defeated. Scotty 2 Hotty w/Torrie Wilson: 6:32

General Manager Theodore Long announces a match at SmackDown!’s upcoming Pay Per View No Way Out and that match is Torrie Wislon taking on Hirokio one on one.

WWE Champion JBL bursts into Teddy Long’s office and demands that Dave Batista should not step foot in here, Long says "I ain’t the RAW General Manager playa, this is SmackDown!"
Carlito Caribbean Cool comes in and says "Teddy Long i need just 10 more signatures to get you kicked out of SmackDown!"

Match 2: Four Way Tag Team Match for WWE Tag Team Championship
The Basham Brothers (Doug and Danny) defeated. Rey Mysterio and Rob Van Dam(c), Eddie Guerrero and Booker T and Mark Jindrak and Luther Reigns: 22:11

Van Dam suffers a major injury which might keep him out for the rest of the year.

RAW Rebound: JBL did he or did he not try to run down Batista,

Match 3: Singles Match
Heidenreich defeated. Charlie Haas w/Hardcore Holly: 2:34

Heidenreich won a squash match, and avenged his loss to Undertaker this past Sunday at the Royal Rumble.

General Manager Theodore Long announces a Winner to Wrestlemania Tournament:

Kidman shows some good effort but is no match for the legendary Undertaker.

WWE Champion JBL calls out his challeneger at No Way Out for the WWE Championship the Big Show, Show says "At No Way Out your reign will end!" Then Show hits Bradshaw but then it is a trap which leads to the Cabinet atatcking The Big Show but then:

Batista arrives on the scene and cleans house along with The Big Show, At the end of the night Batista and Show stare off and then look down the entrance ramp at WWE Champion JBL.

Rating:
Best/Worst match and Night:
TV Rating: (Using decimals)

BQ: Do you like the build up.
SmackDown! Presents: No Way Out

- WWE Championship: Steel Cage
JBL (c) vs. The Big Show

- Singles Match
Torrie Wilson vs. Hirokio

- Number One Contender’s Match
(2 Finalists in the Tournament)

More matches to be announced.

Good Show.

Rating: 9.3/10
Best Match: Fatal Four Way Tag Team Match
Worst Match: Undertaker vs. Billy Kidman
Best Night: Batista & Big Show
Worst Night: JBL and his cabinet
TV Rating: 2.10

BQ: i think it’s great build up.

This show reminded me of a Smackdown episode from either 2004 or 2005 with the whole Batista coming to Smackdown thing.

I’m predicting that at No Way Out JBL retains his title and Big Show gets attacked by the cabinet and then Batista comes out. JBL leaves the ring and gets attacked by John Cena which leads up to a Wrestlemania match which Cena will probably win and then go to Raw and have a feud with Christian & Chris Jericho. Remember it’s a prediction.

If that doesn’t happen then JBL could finish feuding with Big Show & Batista.
