What is the difference between the different headshapes of UNSQUASHABLE squash racket?
UNSQUASHABLE offer squash rackets with three different types of headshape which are generally referred to as Teardrop (open), Classic (closed) with the third option, Hybrid, featuring a small bridge and therefore an amalgam or combination of the Teardrop and Classic Headshapes.
Which UNSQUASHABLE squash rackets provide the most power?
Teardrop (open) squash rackets have a longer string-bed and longer sweet spot which offers a more power even for off-centre hits. Our UNSQUASHABLE Y-TEC squash racket series features a Teardrop headshape and are the most powerful rackets in the UNSQUASHABLE range.
Which UNSQUASHABLE squash rackets provide the most control?
Classic (closed) squash rackets have a bridge across the throat and a more traditional appearance similar to tennis rackets. The more traditional design, with a bridge across the throat area, provides greater torsional stability and produces an isometric (square) string-bed area and sweet spot which is more suited for players looking for greater levels of control and accuracy versus power. Our UNSQUASHABLE TOUR-TEC squash racket series features a Classic headshape and offers the most control of all rackets in the UNSQUASHABLE range.
Which UNSQUASHABLE squash rackets provide the best combination of power, control and feel?
Hybrid squash rackets feature a small bridge to provide a combination of power, control and improved player feel with an overall performance somewhere between a Teardrop headshape and Classic headshape. Our UNSQUASHABLE SYN-TEC squash racket series features a Hybrid headshape and offers unique ‘player feel’ as well as the ideal combination of power and control.

How often should I restring my UNSQUASHABLE squash racket?
As a general rule, squash players should restring their squash racket throughout the year as many times as they play each week – i.e. for squash players who play at least three times a week, it is advisable that they restring their rackets a minimum of three times annually to ensure optimal performance. Over time, squash racket strings lose their elasticity and even if you play squash less frequently you should still aim to restring your racket at least a couple of times a year to gain maximum performance from your racket.
