Squash Strings
The frame gets all the attention, but the squash string is what truly dictates how the ball feels and responds. A fresh set of strings brings a racquet to life, offering a blend of power, control, and touch that worn-out strings simply can’t match. We’ve seen skilled players struggle on court, only to realize their strings have been dead for a year. The right squash racket string lets you place the ball with confidence, whether you’re driving it deep or feathering a drop shot into the corner.
This collection features high-performance squash racket strings that our team has vetted on court. We’ve selected durable, responsive options that deliver consistent performance

Choosing the Right Squash String
Understanding a few key details will help you find the perfect match for your game. It’s far less complicated than assembling furniture, we promise.
String Gauge (Thickness)
Gauge refers to the string's diameter, and it's a trade-off between feel and durability.
- 18 Gauge (Thinner): Provides maximum power and "bite" on the ball for better feel and spin. The trade-off is that it's the least durable.
- 17 Gauge (Standard): The most common option, offering a great all-around blend of power, control, and durability.
- 16 Gauge (Thicker): Delivers the most durability and control, making it ideal for frequent string-breakers. It has a slightly stiffer feel.
Material & Construction
Nearly all high-performance squash strings today are a multifilament construction. They are made from thousands of tiny fibers wrapped together and often coated with polyurethane (PU). This design provides excellent comfort, feel, and power, making it ideal for the demands of the game.
String Tensions
Tension is how tightly the strings are pulled. If you're unsure where to start, stringing your racquet at a medium tension (around 26-28 lbs) is a fantastic baseline for balanced performance.
- Lower Tension (24-26 lbs): Creates a "trampoline" effect, generating more power but offering slightly less control.
- Higher Tension (27-29 lbs): Flattens the string bed for enhanced control and feedback, ideal for precise shot-making.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best string for squash?
The best and most popular type is a multifilament string, which offers an excellent combination of power, comfort, and feel. Specific brand and gauge choice then comes down to player preference for durability versus touch.
What string tension should I use for squash?
Most players use string tensions between 25 and 29 lbs. If you want more power, choose a lower tension (25-27 lbs). If you want more control, opt for a higher tension (27-29 lbs).
How often do squash strings break?
This depends entirely on your play style and frequency. Powerful hitters may break strings every month, while touch players may never break them. However, all strings lose tension and go "dead" over time. A good rule is to restring as many times a year as you play per week.
What material is squash string made of?
Modern squash strings are typically made of a nylon multifilament core. This involves thousands of microfibers bundled together and encased in a durable outer sheath, often made of polyurethane (PU), to provide a blend of comfort and resilience.
What is your return policy on string sets?
We accept returns on unopened packs of squash string within 30 days of purchase. The packaging must be in its original, sealed condition.
