I think you`ll find the correct term is "squash bats."

www.tennisnuts.com

have been very helpful in the past. They do a lot of squash racquets, not just tennis as the name suggests!

Highly recommended. I've used them a few times for squash and tennis racquets.

I usually just go to high street sports sites. Usually some great ones to be had at quite a discount

All the shops I go in never seem to have the ones I like! I always wonder why you hardly ever see a raket at full price, they nearly always have 30%, 50% or 75% off!!

I wanted one of the same Spec as the one I had already so the Internet was the easiest way to find it....

True, i've been lucky previously in that the centre around here has 4 or 5 sports shops all within a small area so i've been able to find one that works for me
Picked up a browning which i'd never previously used which turned out to be great. Only bought it because it felt pretty good and was down from 160 to 60 hehe Turned out to be great!

Yeah, we only have one proper sports shop locally and as such they are expensive!

I had a browning one for a while but didn't get on with it, that was £60 reduced to £15! I do have a Browning Badmington Racket which was apparently £115 and I got that for £20!

I bought two e-squash rackets which were meant to be £100 each, I paid £60 for the pair!

Do they just make the rrp up??

God knows, but it makes them more appealing to me even if they do! hehe

The last one i got i actually checked online after i bought it and they weren't lying. So i guess they're either buying old stock at discount, end of season stuff, or just as a big group they have buying power

I actually looked in Lillywhites in London and the bats are incredibly cheap.

On that note, anyone know a good shop in London with a decent range of shoes???
And while we're at it, are they any clubs that run a round robin on a weekend like Lambs on a Friday night??
