Squash can be an easy sport to get into, yet requires specific equipment – chief among them being a racquet bag.
Squash bags are typically large enough to store two rackets and designed to be carried over one shoulder (some models offer multiple strap options; some even come equipped with backpack-style straps), with small interior and exterior pockets for personal items and shoes.
Goggles
Squash is an intense physical sport that can result in serious eye and face injuries. Eye goggles provide players with additional protection from potential eye and face trauma caused by being hit with the squash ball or racquet, although this happens rarely; goggles reduce this risk significantly and are required at many junior tournaments to reduce this risk even further.
Goggles are designed to wrap tightly around the face, with an attached band or strap to secure them around your head. Their lenses typically consist of clear or translucent materials which permit visibility while protecting from the elements. Many come equipped with rubber nose guards to stop them sliding off during play; there are even models equipped with vented shields to increase airflow and prevent fogging.
Goggles for squash provide an effective barrier between eyes and any debris flying off a racquet or ball during play, protecting them from flying particles that might fly off during a match. They are not limited to use in squash but may also benefit athletes involved in other sports where flying particles could pose danger, while they’re an ideal choice for workers exposed to high-velocity debris, liquid splashes, airborne dust particles or caustic fumes at work environments.
Goggles should be part of any athlete’s equipment bag and used with caution as they’re not meant to replace sunglasses. When attending sporting events, make sure that the organizers allow this type of eyewear as some have restrictions about which types are allowed on courts.
Towel
When playing squash, a towel is an indispensable item to have with you. Not only can it help wipe away sweat from your body and hands, but many players use towels during matches or practice sessions to wipe their face and neck during matches or sessions and prevent heat stroke.
Towels come in various styles and sizes, making it important to find one that meets your individual needs. There are both basic inexpensive towels as well as more expensive models with superior features and quality.
If you want a high-quality, durable towel, consider investing in one that is made of terrycloth or cotton. Not only can it quickly absorb liquid, but its durable construction means it can withstand repeated use – perfect for players looking to maximize the use of their towel!
Squash players often invest in expensive equipment, and having a high-quality bag to protect it and transport it can be crucial to their game and practice sessions. Furthermore, players benefit from having separate compartments so they can organize their gear easily and find items when needed.
There is a range of bags available, and it is essential that you find one that matches your budget and style. A small backpack may hold enough gear to support one racket while larger bags may feature one or two straps that allow it to be carried over your shoulder like a back-pack style system; others even provide pockets inside and outside for holding items such as squash balls, phones or wallets.
Some premium range bags can even make carrying easier than traditional backpacks due to additional padding and ergonomic features. Climate controlled compartments may help ensure that contents stay at a cool, stable temperature; and there are even pockets designed specifically to prevent dirty shoes from touching other items in the bag.
Change of Clothes
Squash is a fast-paced sport that often causes players to sweat profusely, so it is essential that players bring along a towel so that they can wipe off excess sweat after their match or practice session and maintain cooling levels and performance. Furthermore, players should make sure that they bring a change of clothing for after their game/practice session is finished if needed.
Squash players must ensure that their bag can accommodate all their equipment. There are various bags suitable for squash, but it’s essential that players choose one that best meets their individual needs and requirements. An ideal bag would have multiple racket compartments as well as various pockets to store various items safely.
The most frequently seen form of squash bag is a backpack-style sports bag which can be carried by either two shoulder straps or just one. These bags typically accommodate several rackets at once while providing smaller inside and exterior pockets to store clothes or shoes; some even feature sweaty-sock compartments!
There are also specialized squash bags designed specifically to be used with both racquetball and squash, designed out of more durable materials that allow access through a zipper in the middle of the bag. These are perfect for players who play both sports, saving time by not having to switch bags while saving precious seconds at match times!
An indispensable accessory for squash players is a wristband or headband, particularly heavy sweaters who produce large quantities of perspiration on their hands and face. A wristband or headband will help minimize sweat build-up on these areas so the player can focus more fully on their game rather than worrying about losing control over their racket due to sweaty hands slipping from their grip during an intense match.
Racquet Bag
A racquet bag is an indispensable asset to squash players, typically featuring multiple compartments to store multiple racquets as well as smaller pockets for accessories like towels, socks, keys, phones or wallets. Some bags may even feature straps that adjust for wearing over the shoulder with some being single strapped while other times may feature two straps backpack-style for ultimate comfort when carrying. Ideally the bag should feature wide padded shoulder straps that distribute weight equally across both shoulders.
There is a range of bags designed specifically to meet the needs of a tennis player, from simple bags for casual players to serious tournament bags that hold 9 or even 12 racquets plus equipment and include temperature-controlled sections to protect the strings from extreme temperatures.
If you prefer something smaller and portable, the Ytonet Tennis Sling Bag features numerous thoughtful extras in an extremely compact package, including a hook for storage, water bottle sleeve and many pockets that can hold up to two racquets with additional accessories and balls inside them. Weighing just over 1 pound it is easy to transport from courts.
Alternatively, consider the Tecnifibre Absolute Green Squash Bag which can accommodate 12 racquets plus equipment with plenty of extra zippered sections for equipment, a special protective space for eyeguards and zippered tunnels at the bottom of the bag to store shoes or damp gear. In addition, there are side zippered accessory pockets and an adjustable shoulder strap – ideal for tournaments!
If you’re on a tight budget, the Harrow Dynasty Racquet Bag could be just what you’re looking for. Capable of holding up to 12 racquets at once and featuring plenty of extra pockets – including one dedicated for socks and another for phone storage – the backpack-style strap and padding provide optimal comfort; though some may find this heavier than other options.
