Black Friday squash: rackets and balls
Yellow point or double yellow point, lighter or heavier racquet at the head? The Black Friday squash brings together racquets, balls, strings and court shoes so you can gear up without making a mistake, from the first match to the club tournament, each family on its own page.
A promotional event before the long months in the court
The Black Friday kicks off the promotion season, leading up to the holidays and then the squash sales. Squash is played all year round, but winter fills the courts: it’s the perfect time to replace a cracked racket or replenish your stock of balls.

Squash racket: weight and balance
A light racket is quick to handle near the wall and is less forgiving of off-centre hits. A heavier racket or one that’s head-heavy delivers power to the back of the court. For beginners, a racket with a neutral balance is the easiest to use.

Frequently asked questions
What is a cheap squash racket for beginners?
A racket with a neutral balance, neither too light nor too heavy, often sold pre-strung. Models are available on the squash rackets of Black Friday page.
What squash ball is best for a beginner?
A point blue or point red ball, which bounces more and gives you time to play. The double point yellow, which is very slow, is reserved for good players. All are listed on the squash balls on sale page.
Do you need special shoes for squash?
Yes: an indoor rubber sole that doesn't mark the floor, which is required in many clubs. A few models are on the squash shoes page.
When should you restring a squash racket?
When the strings break, of course, but also when the ball goes off uncontrolled: a loose string loses its bite. The reels are on the squash strings page.
Are protective goggles mandatory for squash?
They are highly recommended and often required for young players in competitions. A squash ball can hit the eye at high speed: it’s better to equip yourself from the start.
