Head Flexpoint 130 Squash Racket Review

makyol — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 03:11:28 +0000

The much acclaimed Flexpoint technology is responsible for the qualities of Head Flexpoint 130 Squash Racket which is well known for: toughness and durability. The racket is also highly flexible and has a more appealing shape than a conventional racket. This racket weighs about 130g. The head size is 500 centimeters square. Racket design has conventionally concentrated on making rackets stiffer as a means of making them tough enough to withstand heavy impacts. But while doing this has been good for power, it has often meant that the rackets were stiff and difficult to control, a major point of concern for high level professional squash players. This problem of plenty of power but little flexibility has been solved by Flexpoint technology. Flexpoint technology is a combination of dimple and hole. The dimple is well-engineered to give the racket superior flexibility. The beam height has been reduced by about 25%. The racket has two precisely engineered holes that are strategically placed on the racket's head at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions. These two holes act in unison and impart to the racket superior power. The Head Flexpoint has a 12/17 string pattern. The balance is even at 370 mm. It is made up of very long strings that impart immense power to the racket and compliment the frame's tear-drop shape. Surprisingly enough, the holes and dimples of Head Flexpoint 130 do not adversely affect its durability. The racket is ideal for generating those tough wall drives and wonderful nick shots! The Head Flexpoint 130 is mid weight and evenly balanced. It feels rather head light although this is rather subjective and different users have different views. But this is not something you will easily notice given the speedy blasts you will get from it. While using the racket, it is advisable to go for an over-grip since the stock that comes with the racket is not particularly long-lived. But grips are generally cheap so don't let this worry you too much. Contrary to common misconception, this racket is not just for pros; intermediate players are bound to find it a pleasure to use. Beginners, however, would probably be better served by its closer brother the Head Flexpoint 150. The Head Flexpoint 150 comes with an extra 20 grams and this can be of help to a beginner not accustomed to mid-weight rackets. Women and children generally prefer lighter rackets and the Head Flexpoint 130 is just perfect for them. Sophisticated players tend to find it a bit sluggish but a good number of them will go for the Head Flexpoint 130 any day as opposed to more expensive but not-so-good rackets in its category. Although the list price of the racket is $200, it is now selling at a heavily discounted price of $109.95. It is available at the Squash Pro Shop. At that excellent price, it is hard to find a racket that even comes close to the Head Flexpoint 130. Racket enthusiasts can also find better deals with Sports Authority coupons that are available online. A good number of rackets in its weight category cost twice as much but deliver less-than-stellar performances. The Head Flexpoint 130 really is great value for money.

Common Squash Injuries

makyol — Wed, 15 Aug 2012 23:55:01 +0000

Squash is a fast-paced sport which requires constant changes in direction and speed. As a result of this injuries can be common, tending to affect the feet, knees, legs and hips.

Foot Injuries

Common foot injuries sustained in squash include plantar fasciitis, torn Achilles tendon and Achilles tendonitis. Plantar fasciitis causes pain to develop towards the heel and along the inside of the foot. It tends to be worse when you first wake up and gets more severe if you use the affected foot. Plantar fasciitis can be treated with ice, physiotherapy and heel massage done by a qualified therapist. Wearing SorboAir insoles can also help to ease pain and prevent further bouts in the future. Achilles tendonitis occurs when the tendon becomes inflamed. It can be caused by shoes pressing against the tendon and overuse. Tendonitis causes pain which gets worse with use of the affected foot, but it can usually be treated with ice, rest, heel raising and physiotherapy. A torn Achilles tendon is very painful and will force you to stop playing immediately. It causes a severe bout of pain around 6cm above the heel and will prevent you from putting weight on the affected foot. If you have a torn Achilles tendon you should see a specialist. Treatment will depend on the severity of the tear but in most cases surgery is required to repair the tear and then the foot will placed in a plaster cast.

Leg Injuries

Knee injuries are common in squash and may include torn medial ligaments, torn meniscus and patella tendonitis. Symptoms of knee injuries include tenderness in and around the knee, pain, which is acute in the case of patella tendonitis or chronic in the case of overuse injuries, such as stress fractures. If the meniscus or ligaments are torn, this can cause the knee to lock and severe pain. Treatment options for knee injuries include rest, regular ice packs and surgery in the case of tears and recurrent injuries. Physiotherapy can help to build up strength in the joint following a tear or muscular injury. If the gastrocnemius muscle (the calf muscle) tears, this will cause a sudden pang of pain below the knee, which will prevent weight-bearing and severely restrict movement. Treatment depends on the severity of the tear but a cast will usually be required to immobilise the muscle and allow time for repair. As the muscle gets stronger, physiotherapy and specialist exercises can help to improve movement and strength.

How To Prevent Injuries

It is impossible to prevent injuries, as accidents happen. However, wearing sensible, well-fitting specialist squash shoes, warming up well and conditioning the body by doing strength and cardiovascular exercise on a regular basis will help to reduce the risk of injuries. If you do experience pain when you play, see your doctor, as you may be making an existing injury worse.
