SIZE & GRIP
- Racquets with a narrow profile, or beam width, are flexible with a maneuverable feel.
- A wide-profile racquet offers increased power and a larger sweet spot.
- Novices should choose a mid-profile racquet that balances power and control.
- Every player has an individual preference for grip feel.
Similarly one may ask, what size squash racket should I get?
Squash rackets vary in weight between 110g & 160g. Lighter weight rackets are great for more manoeuvrability and fast movement. You get more power with heavier rackets, but these are harder to move around quickly. A few years ago, the fashion was to go for lighter and lighter rackets.
