A waste of $55.

I just got back from playing a good solid game of Squash. Unfortunately I broke my brand new racket. This was the first game that I have played with this racket. About five minutes into the game I nicked the floor as I was trying to save a ball and bent the head out of shape. This is a shot that happens every 10 or so minutes while playing squash and this is the first time I have seen a racket break. Now I have to go buy a new racket before I play tomorrow. /rant

On the plus side, I still managed to win a few games with a broken racket.

That it is, I got hooked a few weeks ago. I would play every day if I didn't have to drive 35 minutes to get to the nearest court. I want to build my own court in my house, but I don't have the room. Someday.

I am going to try, but I doubt they will do anything about it. It has been played with so they can claim that it has been abused. I am going to give it a try though. Not buying from that store again. I am going to a store that deals in racket sports to get a new one.

Played with != abused

At least not if it breaks in the first game. I understand that breakages happen, but if it can't get through one game (barring freak occurances), then it's a maufacuring/design fault. The key phrase in UK law is "fit for the purpose for which it is sold" - if a squash racket is sold with the intention you play squash with it (a reasonale asumption), then no amount of stickers or limited warrenty can get them off the hook if it breask during reasonable game play.

If they don't like it, the try standing in front of the rack of rackets on a Saturday afternoon, explaining to their customers how pool quality their stuff is.
