Helloo!

Thought it would be cool for Squash players to be able to have a society type thing like football, running, cycling etc.

Post everything from tips to your racket.

Thanks :smile:

Heard browning are quite over priced. Like a 'huge' rrp. I would try Prince Or Dunlop. But whatever floats your boat :smile:

yeah agree with the guy above me. Go for a well established squash brand. Prince, dunlop, wilson etc take your pick. I'm generally dubious of things that discounted, but I am a cynical bastard. It also depends how good your are! :tongue:

You mean Dunlop? (this one?: http://store.dunlopsport.com/dunlop-blackstorm-surge-squash-racket-733048)

Looks alright to me, if you hit that 'intermediate' market it is going for :smile: I have this racket, and it's real good :biggrin: http://www.pdhsports.com/wilson-blx-squash-wilson-tour-blx-squash-racket/p164.aspx

yeah it is quite expensive. I guess it depends on how quickly you improve (aka how frequently you play!). If you play a lot you'll probably be wanting a better racket at some point anyway, but at the moment that dunlop one looks like a good shout :smile:
Yep, got a squash ball to the eye on Saturday.. x_o Jesus.Christ.

Hey guys,

Just managed to find a thread like this :smile: Just thought I'd give some background on my squash profile. I played squash competitively for 6 years managed to reach 5th in lanchashire rankings in U15 and 7th in lanchashire in U17. I have also played alot of tournaments at england and club level with many achievements.

If anyone would like any advice on anything to do with squash, I'd be more than happy to help :smile:

ouch, that sounds painful....
I got my first racket a couple of weeks back!!

Prince Lumina. Lmao it's funny, because it's almost hard to get due to an old model etc, I got it for £15 and it's alright for me. I mean, it's all I need at the moment. When I improve, I can get a more expensive racket :smile:

I think if we can get this thread going, it would bomb.
