Take a look at a great selection of our squash rackets available to buy at our online squash store or in our shop, all rackets available for the 2026 season!

 

1. Harrow Reflex 125

• Racket Shape: Teardrop-style head provides a slightly enlarged sweet spot, geared toward power while maintaining decent control.
• Racket Weight: ~125 g unstrung — a light frame that promotes fast swing speeds.
• Racket Balance: Slightly head-heavy, giving extra momentum at impact.  
• Playing Style: Suited to players who like a lively, attacking game; the balance helps generate aggressive drives and hard volleys.
• Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced. Its head-heavy characteristics boost power but demand solid technique to control shots consistently. The lightweight feel rewards quick reflexes but may feel demanding for absolute beginners.

 

2. Tecnifibre Carboflex 120 X-Top V2

• Racket Shape: Traditional squash head (500 cm²) with a smooth aerodynamic frame for precision.  
• Racket Weight: ~120 g — extremely light for fast manoeuvres.  
• Racket Balance: Even balance that supports both control and quick responses.  
• Playing Style: Designed for rapid racket head acceleration and sharp attacking play. Innovative frame tech reduces air resistance for powerful swinging.  
• Skill Level: Advanced. This model suits seasoned competitors who prioritise speed and precision in fast rallies. Its very light weight and responsive nature reward precise technique; less experienced players may find control challenging at first.

 

3. Dunlop CX 132

• Racket Shape: Conventional head shape (500 cm²) with a slightly denser string pattern for refined touch and control.  
• Racket Weight: 132 g — a balance that blends stability with quickness.  
• Racket Balance: Head-light, making it easy to flick at the front court and quickly change direction.  
• Playing Style: Control-oriented; vibration-reducing tech and tight stringing help place shots with precision and confidence.  
• Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced. Players with good fundamentals will appreciate the control and responsiveness both at the T-position and throughout rallies. Beginners may benefit from a more forgiving frame initially, but this racket helps develop tactical play.

 

4. Oliver Apex F/90

• Racket Shape: Elongated head/long string pattern for amplified power and extended reach.  
• Racket Weight: ~105 g — one of the lightest frames in this group.  
• Racket Balance: Head-heavy design improves impact force and explosive drives.  
• Playing Style: Ideal for aggressive hitting and deep drives; foam core helps damp vibrations for smoother feel.  
• Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced. The head-heavy balance enhances offensive play but needs dependable stroke mechanics to prevent mis-hits. Beginners might find it less intuitive to balance due to the emphasis on power.

 

5. Karakal Raw Pro 2.2 ‘Joel Makin’

• Racket Shape: Midplus head (~480 cm²) with a dense string pattern that favours precision.  
• Racket Weight: ~120 g — light and dynamic without feeling flimsy.  
• Racket Balance: Around 345 mm balance (even to slightly head-light), blending power and responsiveness.  
• Racket Playing Style: Balanced racket with crisp feedback and control, excellent for front-court play, hitting tight drops, and controlled drives — built in collaboration with a top pro.  
• Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced. Offers sophistication in shot execution and feel, which helps players refine tactical play. Beginners might eventually grow into it but will benefit most once comfortable with basic technique.
