I honestly didn’t realise I had spelt the word ‘racquet’ wrong earlier.

Anyway, would any one be able to advise substantially on a decent squash racquet, also on other equipment, such as balls, brand, materials, and qualities of a club - is squash well represented in england? - I cant seem to find much information on it…… Many thanks in advance….

I’ve been playing squash since I was 11. It’s an extremely fast-paced sport requiring a lot of skill. What I’ve never understood is why squash is oten equated with snobbery in American popular culture. Frasier and his snooty brother played squash. Woody Allen’s Manhattan friends play. Michael Douglass played squash in Wall Street. In Fracture, the DA tells the main character that he won’t fit into the corporate law firm he’s joining because “those guys play squash”. And whenever they actually show the characters playing, they look like they’re dressed for cricket and clearly have no technique whatsoever.

When you look at the top squash players in the world, they are just down to earth people from UK, Australia, Egypt, Malaysia and other commonwealth countries. For many years, the game was dominated by Pakistani players from extremely poor backgrounds. How then do Americans figure that it’s a rich person’s game?

I have started to play Squash and while also keeping up running. I was wondering which would do more calorie burning an hour of high tempo squash or 5-6 (8min/mile). I seem to be underpressure with the squash but find the running easier even with speedwork.
