The proper squash grip is very counter-intuitive. Instinct would tell you to
grip the racquet with a clenched fist. The racquet has no control in the
fore-aft and side-side motion with that type of grip.
The proper squash grip has two subtle features that allow you to have full
control over the head of the racquet. It is extremely important to master this
grip early on otherwise you will be stroking the ball incorrectly and find it
very difficult to play the touch shots that pros play with ease. Furthermore
your game will suffer for several months as you try and fix your grip after
developing bad habits.
Adapting to the new squash grip
You may find it difficult to hold the racquet
tight with the new grip. Here are some suggestions to make it easier to grip the
racquet tightly
-
Add over-grips to increase size
-
Hold as tightly as possible
-
Focus on hitting the sweet spot in
the racquet. Off-center shots really loosen your grip as they add
excessive twisting forces to the racquet
-
Re-string racquet at a lower tension.
Most factory strung racquets are strung very tightly. This makes the
sweet spot very small
