Squash is a sport many people love to play. It is played in an enclosed court using a racket and a hollow rubber ball. People love to play not only for the enjoyment of the game but for the way the game keeps them physically fit.

It can actually help train your joints, especially your knees, to become stronger and more flexible. If you want to start playing a sport that is fun, and will keep you physically fit, Squash is one that is easy to learn and doesn’t take much to start up. The right basic equipment can help you learn faster.

The most important piece of equipment is a head squash racket, so the following is a guide that can help you learn about them and pick the best racket for you.

The best head squash rackets are usually made from high grade titanium, aluminum, and carbon. In the head squash racket guide you will learn that the materials used in the making of the racket can make your style of playing seem stronger, and can actually make your level of play look higher.

Like a tennis racket, a head squash racket has a head that is interwoven with strings that gives the look of a net. Unlike the tennis racket, a head squash racket has a shorter handle that allows the user to have more control when they hit the ball.

This guide will explain the three different kinds of head squash rackets you can choose from and which one if best for your playing style and skill level. The aluminum racket weights about 190 grams and is best for recreational play.

The titanium racket weights about 140 grams and gives you more ball control and power. The carbon racket weights about 135 grams and gives you the most ball control and the most power of any racket.

Aluminum head squash rackets should have string tension strength that ranges from 19 to 29 pounds. A titanium racket should have string tension strength ranging from 24 to 28 pounds.

A carbon racket too should be in the 24 to 28 pound range. The aluminum racket is recommended for beginners and children because they don’t have a lot of ball control yet.

As players advance and they become stronger players a titanium racket or a lightweight carbon racket can give them extra control and will be able to withstand the hard hits better.

A great racket will have a vibration dampening system on the handle that protects your hand from the shock waves produced when you hit the ball.

This will let you gauge the feel of the ball more accurately, which will allow you to know how hard or soft you should hit your return shot.
