Hi, I'm now an agent for
Prince Squash Rackets
I carry a number of rackets with me for people to try out on court.
If you find one you like I can order it for you. Delivery takes about 3 days.

If you are thinking of buying a new squash racket (some people say "squash racquet"), why not contact me and arrange to try out some different rackets on court. You can get the feel of the weight of the racket, the balance, and how it responds to different shots before you commit to buying.
I can advise you about the various characteristics of squash rackets and give you my opinion as to the effect those characteristics have on the way the racket handles in play.
For instance a lighter racket may be easier to swing and give a better feel but could be harder to control. Heavier rackets tend to be cheaper and may be favoured by beginners, particularly men, while lighter rackets, using stronger materials to achieve a lower weight, tend to be more expensive.
Then there is balance. Rackets vary considerably as to where their centre of balance is. You must try a racket on court before you buy. If a racket feels like the head is too heavy or too light it may not be right for you.
Rackets also have different stiffness or whippiness and your choice may depend on the level at which you play. Generally a stiffer racket is better for the power game but may require slightly more control. Very cheap rackets can vibrate as you hit the ball and should be avoided.
When buying a squash racket you are faced with an array of shapes, throat design, strength and durability factors. I can explain these to you. You should never buy a racket without taking the advice of a squash professional.
Below are just some of the Prince rackets I can offer. Prices are competitive and include delivery. Contact me for details.
