The Best Wilson Squash Racquet

Whether you've played squash for five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years, chances are you've seen lots of different squash racquets come and go. You've probably played with just about as many or more than I have. The latest material composites change constantly, as do the shapes, and strings used. We all have our own opinions on what makes the best squash racquet.

I try not to get too hung up on any particular manufacturer, as I think all the major brands have something to offer. I know some players who swear by Dunlop, and love their Black Knights, or can't bear to part with their older model Princes. And, that's fine for the average club player.

I do think, it's important to understand your own game and playing ability when you consider the characteristics of any racquet. If you've played squash for a long time, or plan on playing it for a long time, you've either dealt with injuries, or will be dealing with injuries in the future. Bear in mind, that a lighter racquet and less racquet vibration can save your elbow / shoulder / wrist from injury over time.

I don't usually go for the very high end racquets, as they don't seem to hold up to the abuse of a player at my dubious skill level inflicts. I do however like to have a couple of identical racquets in my bag. When one breaks, or needs new strings, I don't have to adjust to the feel of a different racquet. My game has enough variables to control already.

Although, I do seem to carry more than two racquets in my bag at any given time. When some less prepared player breaks one, and needs to borrow a racquet, I like to have an old junker I don't care about for lending purposes. I've got a really old Slazenger that serves this role well.

I know what player that carries around one of those really old ones that have a long handle, and a tiny circular head. From way back in the day. I only remember that, because he pulled it out of his bag once while playing me, and actually beat me with it. Not a good memory.

There comes a point with some racquets, where it may or may not be worth getting them restrung. Every time you do, the frame weakens just a little bit more. And, I know there's nothing worse than spending $35 or $40 to have a racquet restrung, and then break a week later.

So, at the moment, I carry a couple of Wilson N145s, an older Black Knight viper with broken strings, and a really old Slazenger racquet in my bag. The Wilsons, are the only ones that get to play much, and they currently have Ashaway SuperNick strings on them. They work just fine by me.
