Setup, Compatibility & Care
This racket arrives fully strung and ready to play. To maintain the frame's integrity, avoid contact with the side walls or floor, as squash rackets are precision-engineered and susceptible to structural cracks upon heavy impact. The included 3/4 cover should be used when transporting the racket to protect the string bed from extreme temperature fluctuations. To maintain the life of the Tecnifibre Dry Grip, wipe it down with a clean, slightly damp cloth after each session to remove sweat and debris, and replace the overgrip once the tackiness diminishes.
