Used to play squash when I was younger and very much would like to get back into it and play twice a week.

Looking to buying a racket that will last me a while. Consider myself beginner at this stage.
Have see the following rackets and wondering which one would be the best option:

I would probably sway towards the Dunlop Aerogel (3rd link) as have played with these before and really like them. Its hard to suggest as the weight/strings all make such a difference to personal feel. two rackets both 130g may be weighted in a very different way and it boils down to personal preference!

The Aerogel is a popular racket and see many club/county players using them as well as the usual first timers. So they cover a large spectrum, so much so I'm looking at buying one now from your link.

thanks

If you were reasonably good when you're younger then you should pick it up again fairly quickly.

I did similar a few years ago and purposely avoided beginners racquets, as I knew I'd improve fairly rapidly against a 'true' beginner.

Thank you for the reply guys. I ended up finding a few reviews and ended up buying

I would like to think I was reasonably good when I was younger and thought its best not to get a "beginner" racket.

I know its a very personal choice so I thought I would start somewhere and change if I really feel the need to as I progress again.
