A racket's frame weight tells you how heavy it is. Its balance tells you where that weight\nsits. Together they decide how the racket feels in a rally, and a light head heavy racket like\nthis one feels completely different from a light head light racket of the same weight.
\n\nHead heavy puts mass behind the ball at contact, which gives power without a fast swing. That\nsuits most club players, who are not generating racket head speed the way a professional does.
\n\nFront court. When you are stretching for a drop and need to flick the head round quickly, mass\nin the head is working against you. If most of your game is played short and fast, a more evenly\nbalanced racket is worth trying before you settle.
\n\nNobody should buy a squash racket without swinging it if they can help it, and that is worth\nsaying on a page selling one online.
\n\nInnegra is a hybrid fibre used alongside carbon in the layup. Its job is damping: it absorbs\nsome of the shock of an off centre hit before it reaches your elbow. That matters more than it\nsounds if you play twice a week, because squash is hard on the arm and the frame is the only thing\nbetween the ball and your joint.
\n\nIt arrives strung with synthetic gut, which is durable and forgiving and the right choice for\na racket that is going to be played rather than displayed. When it goes, restring it rather than\nreplacing the racket: a fresh string job changes how a racket plays more than most upgrades do.
\n\nA 14 x 18 pattern is reasonably open, which helps grip the ball for cut and drops.
\n\nUse the cover, and keep it out of the cold. Strings lose tension when they are repeatedly\nchilled and warmed, which is what a boot does to them overnight in February. Frames also chip on\nwalls, and a chipped frame is a weak frame; a cover does not stop a wall but it stops everything\nelse in the bag.
