Squash Racquet Stringing in Philadelphia
Squash racquets strung by a USRSA Master Racquet Technician — in the middle of American squash country, minutes from the Arlen Specter US Squash Center and Penn’s Ringe Courts.
Squash stringing
Squash frames are lighter and more delicate than tennis frames, and they are strung at much lower tensions — a range where a couple of pounds changes the whole feel of the racquet. That is exactly where Master Racquet Technician precision pays: a calibrated machine, a consistent pull, and a string bed that plays the same after every restring. Your squash racquet gets the same attention as the tour tennis frames that come through the shop.

Squash string we carry
We stock squash string from Tecnifibre — including 305, the most-played string in squash, and Dynamix — and Ashaway, the standard of American squash, in the thin gauges squash play demands. Not sure what suits your game? We talk through string and tension before every job, the same conversation we have with every tennis player.
The squash wall
Tecnifibre Carboflex X-Top squash racquets are on the wall, with Karakal PU Super Grips, double-yellow-dot balls and protective squash eyewear — required in college and junior play — on the racks beside them.
Philadelphia is squash country
The Arlen Specter US Squash Center — the national home of US Squash and host of the US Open Squash Championships — sits on Drexel’s campus, minutes from the shop. Penn varsity squash plays at the Ringe Courts, and the Racquet Club of Philadelphia keeps the game’s oldest traditions alive downtown. If you play squash in University City, a Master Racquet Technician is a short walk from your court.
Frequently asked
How much does it cost to string a squash racquet?
$26.50 labor per racquet, plus the string you choose — same as tennis. Bring your own string and pay labor only.
What tension should I string my squash racquet at?
Much lower than tennis — most squash racquets play best in the low-to-mid 20s (lbs), where a couple of pounds changes the whole feel. We talk it through before every job.
How long does squash stringing take?
Turnaround depends on the queue — many racquets are ready the same or next day. Call ahead for rush requests.
