all these points. The shaft is made of special cane of finest quality and, therefore, extremely light and is fitted and made just the right size to give the life that ensures perfect timing. It has become the most popular squash racket and has amply justified Gradidges confidence
in atating that it is the world's best.
Gradidge Squash Rackets are world renowned and have been used ever, since the game started by many of the foremost players.
