Squash Resolution

One of my New Years resolutions was to start playing squash. I took a few lessons years and years ago but never really learned how to play the sport.

After my first clinic I decided my goal is to play enough (skill is not important) that I can justify getting the Harrow Vapor racquet in pink and green also known as "The Prep". I told JCW that I thought I needed my own racquet and he promptly nixed that notion. I have been admiring this stellar racquet for years. Much to my dismay I searched for "The Prep" and concluded it must be discontinued!

During my search I did come across some pink and green accessories.

The runner-up racquet would have to be the Harrow Breeze racquet. I really like the patches of plaid but I prefer the bubble gum pink of "The Prep". My selections are based purely on appearance as opposed to performance.

Maybe a pink bag would suffice?

I would love to be able to sport an Under Armour skort on the court and not look like a total poser. I guess I should stay focused on trying to learn how to serve and not get ahead of myself on a quest for cute squash gear. I need a whole lot of work but I am excited about learning a new sport.

  8. Such a cute post! One of my girlfriends is a terrific squash player. I, on the other hand, am simply trying to master tennis (and when I say master, I mean be able to very casually play without embarrassing myself or my opponent).

  10. I played squash ages ago. Fun indoor sport, hit my boyfriend in the eye, so it can be a bit dangerous at times!

  11. Squash is a great game and provides an excellent workout while having fun! My Father, a Professor at Penn, played into his 70's and I play often at Germantown Cricket Club in Philadelphia. I play with friends and with my kids. You will love the sport and find it addictive.
