Squash

Squash grips in 2026 are the most vital tactile link between a player and their racket, specifically designed to handle the higher friction and sweat levels compared to other racket sports. In Pakistan, the market is undisputed: Karakal PU Super Grip (approx. Rs. 600–800) is the #1 choice for professionals and club players alike. Unlike standard tennis grips, squash-specific replacement grips are thicker, feature a "slow-release formula" for long-lasting tackiness, and often include "Nano" particles to improve durability during high-intensity rallies.

Players typically choose between two setups based on hand size and sweat levels. Replacement grips (like the Karakal or Tecnifibre Squash Dry) are applied directly to the wooden/graphite handle to provide maximum cushioning and shock absorption. For players who prefer a thinner feel or need to refresh their grip frequently, overgrips (such as Yonex Super Grap or Wilson Pro, approx. Rs. 150–350) are wrapped on top of the base grip. In 2026, many Pakistani players are also adopting perforated "Air" grips to enhance ventilation in the summer heat. Whether you prioritize the "gooey" tackiness of a fresh PU grip or the absorbent, powdery feel of a dry wrap, maintaining your grip prevents the racket from twisting during off-center hits and reduces the risk of wrist fatigue.
