I've been practicing Squash in the past two weeks and your videos have been very helpful to me.

I’ve got the classic head racket head Xenon 135 the new one I got 3 and I love the rackets so strong and powerful but I’m used to it now but I’ve played with so many different ones having been playing for 9 years

@poepglijbaan100 Год назад

Thanks. Next question for yt, head light or heavy

So as a relatively powerful dude who plays a control-based game, it’s classic or maybe hybrid for me. If I need to crack on a ball, I can, but more than anything I want that ball to go where I tell it. Also, I use Ashaway ZX (orange) strung to just over 32lbs, and the combo allows for terrific movement (“so much spin!” someone recently wailed) and control.

I've got a collection of rackets including a Carboflex 125 and a Black Knight Great White Doubles traditional shape. No doubt you get more power with the former but I find if I'm up against a good player the control of the Great White can pay dividends and I also find it more forgiving. Rackets aren't that expensive especially if you pick them up secondhand and I like being able to mix and match depending on how well I'm playing.

dalstonjazz I feel like I’m more consistent with the round shape. I can never consistently hit the carboflex for some reason.

thanks Paul for this video, I'am wondering now which racquet should I buy as my first one.. I'am playing once/two times a week and I feel teardrop will be my choice now to practice my game and style. Combining would be even better, but maybe in future.. Cheers from Poland

Just picked up a racket again after about 10+ years... Former lvl 1 coach and decent player. Ive got old rackets. Dunlop hotmelt pro 120 (classic) Alinta velocity pro 120 (teardrop , i have 4 of these with various string tensions..yeah i liked it) Greys millenium 130 (crossover? Shape) Greys light blue (teardrop) Hate the lightblue. Love my alintas. Both the millenium and hotmelt i have to be in the mood for. I was a touch/precision player so the teardrop gave me some much needed extra power. Teardrop strung properly gives best of both worlds i reckon

@ShoaibAhmedNZ 4 года назад

Can you please comment on how string density would differentiate rackets. For example the 14x18 on TF vs 12x16 on Head rackets.

@joshattwell4991 4 года назад

Combine the classic head shape with more powerful strings and a lower tension and you have a great combination. The Tecnifibre 305 strings used here are more for control and more bite on the ball which I don't think works well with a classic head shape because you don't need any extra control.

@olivermorrison9472 4 года назад

Or the other way around. Use a teardrop with a higher tension. Also, good quality teardrops like the carboflex already have decent control.

@kennethhenry6096 4 года назад

I don’t want to be rewarded for mishit shots all the same. It’s maybe ok once you can play a bit to go to a more forgiving g racket but I think people learning the sport need to learn to play properly first. You were already a good player.

@pdhsports 4 года назад

I do agree, but sometimes is also better to get beginners into the game and having fun. The kids won’t enjoy being punished for hitting bad shots, they like it when they see power but yes you may well become a better player long term if you start using a racket that gives you more feedback as to how your hitting. Will you still continue to play if you keep feeling the bad shots all the time?. It’s a very interesting debate, there is no right or wrong, a lot of the current top Egyptian players were simply only ever given teardrop rackets and they still ended up hitting the ball better than anyone. Thanks for the feedback 👍

@@pdhsports Paul, so for a decent player, possibly close to your age - what would you recommend as the ultimate frame - TF125 or Ashaway Powerkill 120 ZX? Thanks
