My friend bought a squash raquet at the copy market and the strings broke the 2nd time he used it. Anyone know where to buy a decent quality raquet?

I'm a beginnner and looking for people to play with. I live at Changde Lu & Xinzha Lu (One Park Ave) there are 2 courts and its pretty easy to book a time or will travel in Puxi if you have a court.

Decathalon in Pudong has a selection. There is also a squash specialty store at Shanghai Stadium.

I've just purchased a top of the range Wilson at the Shanghai Centre department store on HuaiHai Lu

I bought a Wilson Prostaff 2005 model, definitely the real thing, for RMP 790 - you can get it online in the States for $69 http://www.squashgear.com/wihyprtosqra.html but that's the States

It's worth it to be sure of a real racket...

You can have a look at the shop near the tennis centrum on Fuxing LU(near Fenyang Lu).
Good price, real stuff and big choice.

Lancesidecar,
Thanks for the info but can you tell where in Pudong and also where arounf Shanghai Stadium?
