Head Heavy Squash Racquets

Alpha Racquet Balancer
Check your racquet balance in-store
Head heavy squash racquets are preferred by players who want additional power from their racquet. While lower level players seem to be attracted to head light racquets because they believe that the lighter head will allow them to hit harder, the opposite is generally true. The more head heavy a squash racquet is, the more powerful it will be.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of squash racquets in the marketplace are head heavy. Even most of the frames that are marketed as “head light” are, in fact, head heavy. We can say this with certainty because every squash racquet that comes through our store is put on a racquet balancer where we consistently find that frames that claim to be head light are actually head heavy.

    Squash Racquets for Beginners
