A squash racket is a specialized piece of sports equipment used in the game of squash. It typically features a long handle and a lightweight, oval-shaped head with a stringed surface. The design allows players to hit a small rubber ball against the walls of a court, aiming to outmaneuver their opponent. Squash rackets are made from various materials, including carbon fiber, aluminum, and graphite, which contribute to their strength and flexibility. The size and weight of the racket can vary, allowing players to choose one that suits their playing style and skill level.
