Squash Racket Measurements

Weight

The maximum weight is 255 grams, but most rackets are between 150 and 200 grams. You should be careful when comparing rackets. Many brands quote the weight of the frame without the strings. You should add 15-20 grams to find the actual weight of the racket.

Length

The maximum length of a squash racket is 686 mm or 27 inches. All rackets except junior models will normally be this length.

Width

The maximum width of a racket is 215 mm. All rackets normally meet this requirement.

String Area

The maximum string area is 500 square cms. There is no simple way to measure this, so you will have to assume that most rackets meet this requirement.
