Squash rackets, footwear and accessories

Discover equipment and advice for squash players of all levels. From rackets and balls to court shoes and protective gear, learn what matters when selecting items that improve control, comfort and longevity.

Equipment essentials

Rackets vary by weight, balance and string tension; choose a model that complements your playing style. Court shoes must offer lateral support and non-marking soles to protect both you and the floor. Grip size and replacement overgrips affect control, while eyewear reduces risk during fast rallies.

Shopping and maintenance tips

• Test balance and feel if possible to match racket responsiveness with your swing.
• Rotate balls and check pressure for consistent play quality.
• Replace worn soles and laces to maintain traction and safety.
• Consider clearance or returned items for entry-level gear at reduced prices.

Regular string checks and dampeners can extend equipment life and keep performance steady. Investing in the right shoes and a well-fitted racket pays off in reduced injury risk and better on-court results. Local clubs often provide guidance and try-before-you-buy opportunities.
