buy a racquet with a weight around 145 - 160 grams
the heavier the racquet the less likely you are to break it - the light ones break very easily - be prepared to spend around £40-50 for something that is half decent - Wilson racquets are good value

The Racket: The Head Flexpoint 150 is the best racket I ever played with! It’s very light and has absolute pinpoint accuracy and control. It also gives you alot of power. But if you don’t like that racket, any other Head is great, aswell as Wilson and Karkal! And the balls, I’d have to say Dunlop. I’ve played with alot of types, but Dunlop gives the true feeling of squash (I know I sound weird…).
But, it is a great game and I do hope you enjoy it!!
