Helen asks…
squash racquets?
I honestly didn't realise I had spelt the word 'racquet' wrong earlier. Anyway, would any one be able to advise substantially on a decent squash racquet, also on other equipment, such as balls, brand, materials, and qualities of a club - is squash well represented in england? - I cant seem to find much information on it...... Many thanks in advance....
Our pick of the answers:
Ant decent sports shop will sell squash racquets. A lot of sports clubs have squash courts. I used to play as i was pretty good at racquet sports. Or u could try jjb sports on http://www.jjbsports.com/sa/sark/squ/ there are different balls for sure I know u may get different tension racquets as well sweat bands squash shoes etc. All the best.

Best Fencing Shoes for Under $200?
I am a 16 year old foil fencer. I have been fencing for 5 years. I fence in USFA events and for my high school and I am an advanced level fencer. I currently wear the Adidas En Guarde S (the silver ones) and I have a problem with getting blisters on the ball of my back foot (right foot since I am left handed). I am interested in new shoes, I am looking for lightweight shoes that provide support for the balls of your feet so that you do not get blisters from them. Thanks
Our pick of the answers:
Every fencer has different feet and moves differently so the best shoe for one fencer won't necessarily be the best shoe for another. And in general, fencing shoes aren't known for their internal cushioning or arch support. So if your shoes themselves are in good shape, consider is adding a sports insole to help with the blisters. My previous shoes were En Gardes and they had better interior structure than many fencing shoes so I only needed to add a heel cushion -- as mentioned above, different fencers have different needs! I liked the Gardes, great shoes for the price, and I only went with a different shoe this time because I fence all three weapons and wanted more leather across the top of the toe for protection in epee. (I had to replace the Gardes when I wore through both layers of rubber on the back edge of the left heel -- I'm also a lefty -- and was into the foam layer.) Something to consider when you do buy new shoes for fencing: fencing shoes actually may not be the best shoes to get. Try out different types of court shoes, too (i.e. Those made for volleyball, squash, racquetball, even basketball). The good ones are designed to grip the floor, provide cushioning and support, and work well with lateral pressure/movement. Plus they're generally much less expensive than high-end fencing shoes. Good luck!
