What is the Proper Way to Hold a Squash Racket?

A squash racket is held differently than a tennis racket. The grip is more like that of a badminton racket, with the thumb and forefinger forming a "V" shape around the handle. The other three fingers should curl around the handle, with the little finger resting on the bottom.

The grip should be firm, but not too tight. You should be able to hold the racket securely without having to death-grip it. The handle should rest comfortably in the palm of your hand, and your fingers should be slightly curled.

To check if you are holding the racket correctly, swing it back and forth in front of you. The racket should move smoothly and easily, without any jarring or vibration. If you feel any pain or discomfort, you may need to adjust your grip.
