What the AI looks for in Squash Racquets
- Weight
- Most performance frames fall roughly in the 110 to 140 g unstrung range; lighter is faster, heavier is more stable Weight sets swing speed and how solid the racquet feels on impact.
- Balance
- Head-light for control and quick volleys; head-heavy for power and forgiveness Beginners usually do better with head-heavy frames, while advanced players often prefer head-light.
- Head shape
- Teardrop/open throat gives a larger sweet spot and power; closed throat gives more control Shape changes the size of the string bed and the feel.
- Rules
- Within World Squash limits: maximum length 686 mm and maximum strung area 500 sq cm Racquets made by established brands comply; unbranded oddities may not.
- Strings
- Lower tension for power and feel; higher for control and durability Factory strings are often basic, and restringing changes how the racquet plays.
Brands that matter
- Tecnifibre: Squash-centred brand that is widespread among pros.
- Harrow: Squash specialist known for head-light, control frames.
- Dunlop: Broad range from beginner to professional.
- Head: Large squash range across all levels.
- Prince: Long-established racquet brand with squash frames.
What to avoid
- Aluminium or very cheap starter frames for anyone planning to play regularly
- Choosing a pro's very light head-light frame as a beginner
Questions
Can I use a racquetball racquet for squash?
No. Racquetball racquets are shorter with a different head; get a dedicated squash racquet.
