Factors to Consider while Choosing a Squash Racquets

These 4 factors can determine the quality of a racquet, specially with your specific playing style.

For your info, lightweight racquets offer better control whereas heavy weight racquet offer more power, so choose accordingly.
Balance
There are different racquets available in the market, some have head heavy, some have head light whereas popular popular one’s are that have good balance of weight throughout the racquet. I recommend choosing a balanced racquet, although it depends on your skill and your experience.
Head Size
It depends on what you want in your squash racquet, a small head size will give you small sweet spot, but better control, whereas a larger head size will give bigger sweet spot, hence you will get more power, so make sure you know your need and then you can choose right head size accordingly.
Throat Style
There are two types of throats available in squash racquets, open throat, which gives more power and Closed throat, which gives more control, so choose wisely according to your need.
Overall, these factors can help you choose the right squash racquet without too much hustle. Let me know if you have any question to ask.
