Squash in Egypt

A lot: court lines are different, court siz is different, rules are different, ball is different and the racket is different. I prefer sqash.

I am a squash newbie and been playing now for a couple of months. I would like to invest in a beginners/intermediate squash racket. I am opting for one of the following 3 browning models:
Could anyone point out the differences as I could not really identify any difference between the 3 (apart from the fact that the 130 is slightly heavier). Btw my budget is limited to 30 euro max.

Any feedback is welcomed.

Thanks

I’d say go with the Browning Oxylite 130 Ti Squash Racket mainly because it actually has reviews that are quite positive. I’m sorry this is all I can say, because I myself plays mostly tennis and not really squash.

Not very effectively. The weight of the ball will cause you more problems, then it is worth. Get a tennis racket for tennis.

im livin in london by the way
and y is there no squash category on this site…. im offended.

E bay is a obvious one

I am an intermediate squash player but have only ever used a very basic racket. I would like to buy a good quality racket (£80 or more) on sale for around £40. I have found the Dunlop Black Max Titanium 2009 on sale from £120 down to £36 on http://www.pdhsports.com/products/Dunlop-Black-Max-Titanium-Squash-Racket
I have also found the Wilson Hyper Hammer 120 on sale from the same price down to £38 at http://www.pdhsports.com/products/Wilson-Hyper-Hammer-120-Squash-Racket
Do these look like decent rackets and would anyone recommend any others?
Thanks

well you can always go to either dicks sporting goods or a sporting store bvecause they have nice ones and cheap ones

has a squash racket got a shorter handle than a tennis racket

Yes a squash racket has a smaller handle, a smaller head and i believe the strings are tighter than a tennis racket but I’m not sure lol sorry.

I have found that lilliwhites in London sell dunlop equipment very cheaply because the owner (Mike Ashley) is also the owner of dunlop/slazenger/umbro/karrimor (the list goes on). If anybody could recommend one or two racquets I would be very grateful.

A NEW ONE

Somebody ring up Dick Cheney! Art-noise collective Gnaw have accidentally created quite the aural counter-terrorism interrogation tool with their 2009 collaboration, This Face. Call it anti-music, if you will, because although there’s clearly a unified artistic agenda supporting the album, and even certain genres peeking through the generalized chaos (industrial, black metal, etc.) to most listeners this will simply sound like a blistering racket suffused in static. Dissecting it piece by piece, beginning with arguably the most “conventional” elements, one finds Khanate vocalist Alan Dubin roaring, screeching, mewling, and whispering ever-misanthropic lyrics like some rabid hyena being squashed under a dying rhino. Then there’s drummer Jamie Sykes (Burning Witch, Thorr’s Hammer) who, when he doesn’t step out for a cigarette and miss the action entirely (see “Watcher”), lays down an at times erratic, frequently frantic foundation ranging from blastbeats to doom-stomps, with tribal rhythms and exotic percussion sprinkled in between. And perhaps most importantly, there’s multi-instrumentalist Carter Thompson (Enos Slaughter, etc.) who provides the backbone of the more structured songs (“Vacant,” “Shard,” etc.) by handling guitar, bass, piano, and any number of mystery home-built “instruments.” Thompson also reportedly supplied a number of field recordings and it is these elusive found sounds, along with the similarly vague contributions of sound designers Jun Mizumachi and Brian Beatrice, that give This Face its final, dissonantly disorienting touches. Attempting to describe or deconstruct the album any further is an exercise in futility, insofar as there are far too many sounds whose origins one can’t even be fathomed amid the layers of fuzz distortion obfuscating everything. Suffice to say that the vast majority of music consumers will see no reason to torment themselves with Gnaw’s little masochistic art project; but for daring adventurers to whom melodic, harmon..

Right, this aint a questo, but if anyone is looking for a new squash racket, then go for either the karakal bx 150, or the prince triple threat sovereign racket.

I bought the triple threat and was amazed how incredible it was, so many special items – a must buy!!

I just got a ‘Head MicroGEL Extreme’ squash racquet weighing 135 grams and i love it + it’s used by 2nd and 3rd ranked guys in squash

i want to play but i have a squash racket but i have a tennis ball …
would the ball like ruin my racket..or do some damage on it??

The tennis ball is too heavy for a squash racket.
You’ll probably hurt your arm before you hurt the racket though.

Speak to different players and you will get different answers. Racket manufacturers such as:-

Prince
Head
Karakal
Technifibre
Dunlop
Browning

all make ‘good’ racquet’s but it’s a question of going to a shop and picking them up to see which feels right in your hand. Probably the best place to go is your local squash club which will almost certainly have a club shop and someone knowledgeable who can give you advice. They may also have some demo rackets. However, the cheapest place to buy is almost always on the ‘net.

If you are just starting i would recommend spending about £25 – £30 which should get you something decent to get started. If you’re comfortable with the brand that you have chosen you can then go up the range and spend as much as you can afford.

I personally use Prince and have had 3 TT Sovereigns which you can now buy on e-bay for about £50 however, the technology is getting quite old so I’ll probably spend a bit more on my next one and go for one of the Prince O3 range £70 – £100. The O3 range is hugely popular at the moment.

Apart from the feel of the racket it’s also important to buy the right weight of racket. Most players will use a racket weighing approximately 135 – 160 grammes but you can buy lighter and heavier.

Good luck.

Whats the difference between a tennis and a squash racket? Is there much difference if any? Could you reasonably get away with playing tennis with a squash racket for a considerable period of time without fear of it breaking? Or perhaps even permanently? Is a tennis racket much more expensive than a squash racket?

Squash racquets are about 70 cm long, with a maximum strung area of 500 square centimetres (approximately 80 square inches) and weigh between 110 and 200 grams (4-7 ounces).

Tennis racquets vary in length, weight, and head size. 21" to 26" is normally a junior’s length, while 27" or 27.5" are for stronger and taller adult players. Weights of a racquet also vary between 9 ounces unstrung and 12.5 ounces unstrung. Head size also plays a role in a racquet’s qualities. A larger head size generally means more power, and a larger "sweet spot" that is more forgiving on off-center hits. A smaller head size offers more precise control. Head sizes of recent racquets vary between 85 sq. inches and 137 sq. inches.

A squash racquet is more of a square-ish oval, while a tennis racquet is entirely round.

Just wondering..? And how many grams is it?

Mine is the black knight quartz cxx and its 125 grams so i know thats one of the lightest…

The Hammer 120 PH is the lightest..

I’ve just started playing squash. I love it and I’m quite serious about taking it up. I think now is the right time to buy a racket. Can you recommend where I can find a good qulaity one at a low price? Thanks in advance x

I love playing squash too.

I always get my rackets from JJB Sports. You can pick up some really good ones for as little as £25.00 (they are usually discounted from a much higher price, so you can pick up a bargain!).

Enjoy your games!

I have just started playing squash and would like to know where I can buy a cheap and good squash racket in Singapore.

You can get a good squash racket in any sports store or any tennis store in your city.
