Squash Equipment
Time to get your
squash raquet out of the closet! This invigorating sport was recently voted as one of the world’s top ten healthiest sports in a survey undertaken by Forbes magazine. Not only is it a great way to get your body fit and healthy - it is also heaps of fun and a stress buster to boot.
The buzz you get from participating in an exhilarating game of squash is unparalleled. Fast paced and adrenaline-fuelled, squash, unlike other racquet sports, seems to never slow down - mainly due to the enclosed nature of the court, which means the ball is never far away and there is no excuse for taking a breather. This of course means that before you start you should be sure that your fitness levels are up to scratch.

One of the best things about the sport is that it is quite effortless to take up and not that expensive to partake in. Any given town will have at least one court that is open to the public; while elementary schools and other such facilities may even offer lessons for beginners. The popularity of squash means that most people know someone who already plays squash and could easily show them the ropes. As soon as you’ve grasped the basics, however, it is recommended that you sign up for a few lessons in order to refine your technique.
Another plus is that squash equipment requirements are not all that involved. Getting your basic
squash kit together is relatively easy. Your basic needs will include a squash racket,
squash balls, non-marking soled trainers and basic
exercise clothing like shorts and shirts. Once you proceed to a more professional level you can then look into investing in supplementary gear, such as
squash goggles, and maybe juggle your finances so you can splurge on a Dunlop squash racket.
