Stringing Squash Racquets

**Neil Nicholls** · 04-03-2007, 04:10 AM

Anyone regularly string squash racquets?

I accepted a squash racquet from someone because they said they couldn't find anyone to string it. I didn't give any guarantees that I'd do it because it is a fan pattern, and I'm not sure how well flying clamps will work with it.

Anyway, is there a standard difference between main and cross tension like badminton. The mains are much longer than the crosses so, if anything, I might expect the mains to be lower than the crosses.

Any experience anyone?

Dunlop C-Max Hotmelt 16 main x 18 cross

Hi Neil,

Try this.

As far as I understand, there is no tension difference needed because the thicker frame.

Cheers,
I'll do mains same as cross then.

I don't have a problem with the pattern, as it's still strung.
And it has 16x18 printed on it, so it doesn't match anything on klipper anyway.

I think you should drop a little tension on the crosses like you do in tennis. I've only strung my squash racquet once to use it for some badminton training. I did 32 lbs x 32 lbs and noticed that the end result was still narrower.
