Head Extreme 145 Squash Racquet

The Head Extreme 145 is the entry point to Head’s squash performance lineup, calibrated specifically for beginners and recreational players taking up the sport or playing infrequently for fitness. At 145g, it’s one of the heavier squash racquets available and this is entirely deliberate.

The additional weight provides natural stability and plow-through that requires minimal technique to unlock. Even with a slightly mistimed swing or an off-centre contact, the racquet’s mass carries through impact and delivers the ball to the front wall with reasonable pace. For beginners who are still learning where the sweet spot is and how to time a squash swing, this forgiving response keeps the game fun and rallies alive.

Head’s graphite composite construction at this level delivers better vibration management than cheap aluminium frames and a more connected feel at contact an important investment in a beginner’s relationship with the sport. The larger-than-average head size adds further forgiveness, ensuring that even players who are still learning to watch the ball closely get a usable result on most shots.

Ideal for complete beginners, casual players, and those who play once a week or less. Also a solid racquet for gym loaners or club spares. Recommended stringing tension: 23-26 lbs.
