Signs to Look For

Do I Need A Restring?

โœ“

Shots lacking power

Loose strings absorb energy instead of returning it to the ball.

โœ“

Spin and slices feel flat

If bite off the racket has faded, the strings have likely relaxed past their working tension.

โœ“

Dull, dead sound

A muted thud instead of a crisp response is one of the clearest tension warning signs.

โœ“

A broken string

Once one string goes, the rest of the bed is under uneven load โ€” restring rather than patch.

If any of these sound familiar, it's probably time for a fresh string job.

Tension Guide

Find Your Sweet Spot

A rough starting point by playing level โ€” our stringers will talk you through it in-store.

Beginner / Recreational

20 โ€“ 24 lbs

Lower tension for a bigger sweet spot and more power with less effort while you build technique.

Intermediate / Club

24 โ€“ 27 lbs

A balance of touch and power for players developing consistent shot placement.

Advanced / Competitive

27 โ€“ 30+ lbs

Higher tension for precise control and feel at speed โ€” favoured by players with fast, compact swings.

Choosing a String

Power, Control, or Durability?

Squash strings tend to specialise in one direction โ€” here's roughly what to expect from each.

Durability-Focused

Best for: Frequent players / hard hitters

Built to survive squash's high-impact rallies without snapping early โ€” the practical choice for regulars.

Our Process

What Happens To Your Racket

Five steps, zero shortcuts. From the moment you drop it off to the moment you pick it up.

01

Frame Check

We inspect your frame thoroughly for cracks โ€” we won't restring a racket with a compromised frame.

02

Grommet Check

Worn grommets shorten string life โ€” we replace any that need it before stringing.

03

String Advice

Durability, power or control โ€” we'll recommend a string to match what you're after.

04

Tension Advice

Based on your level and play style, we'll recommend the tension that gets the most from your racket.

05

We'll Let You Know

Once done we'll message or email you so you can collect your freshly strung racket.

After Your Restring

Make Your Strings Last

Store away from heat

Squash bags left in hot cars lose tension fastest โ€” keep your racket somewhere cool.

Expect faster tension loss

Squash's high-impact rallies relax strings quicker than other racket sports โ€” check tension more often.

Restring every few months

Most regular players restring every 2โ€“3 months rather than waiting for a string to break.
