Description
The HEAD Microgel 125 Squash Racket is a cult-classic frame loved by squash players across India and worldwide. Whether you are training at a club in Mumbai, competing in weekend leagues in Bengaluru, or sharpening your skills at a coaching academy in Delhi or Jaipur, this racket delivers the rock-solid feel and precision that has made HEAD’s Microgel series one of the most respected in the squash world.
MICROGEL TECHNOLOGY — ROCK-SOLID FEEL AND TOUCH
Revolutionary Silicone-Based Material
Microgel is a revolutionary silicone-based material — the lowest-density material used in racket construction. HEAD combined Microgel with stiff carbon composite fibres to create a denser, more responsive frame structure than conventional squash rackets. The result is a racket with uniquely rock-solid feel and superior touch that players describe as unlike anything else in the game.
Uniform Impact Distribution
On ball impact, Microgel deforms and compresses, absorbing and distributing the impact load uniformly across the entire frame before returning to its original shape. This even distribution eliminates the tinny vibration and hollow feel you get from cheaper rackets, replacing it with a solid, stable response that translates directly to more accurate shot placement.
TITANIUM AND GRAPHITE CONSTRUCTION
The frame combines Microgel with titanium and graphite fibres for a robust build that stays lightweight. Graphite provides the stiffness that transfers your swing energy directly into ball speed, while titanium adds torsional stability — the frame resists twisting on off-centre hits, keeping your shots on target even when contact is not perfect.
At 125 grams, this HEAD squash racket sits in the lightweight range without compromising structural integrity. The construction has earned the Microgel 125 its reputation as a durable, long-lasting frame that holds up to years of regular club-level play.
500 SQ CM HEAD WITH 12X17 STRING PATTERN
The 500 sq cm (77.5 sq in) head delivers a generous sweet spot while maintaining the responsive feel that advanced players demand. The 12×17 string pattern balances control and power — tight enough for precise placement, open enough to generate spin on drives and drops.
The 20 mm beam width adds stability on volleys and kill shots without making the frame feel chunky. This all-rounder geometry suits both offensive and control-oriented playing styles.
HEAD-HEAVY BALANCE AT 370MM — POWER ON DEMAND
The 370mm head-heavy balance point places more mass toward the top of the racket head. This gives the Microgel 125 exceptional plow-through on groundstrokes and kill shots — you can push the ball deep into the back corners with less swing effort. For offensive club players who rely on power to keep opponents under pressure, head-heavy is the preferred balance.
Despite the head-heavy weighting, the 125g total weight keeps the racket maneuverable enough for quick drops, tight boasts, and front-court volleys. It is a versatile balance profile that adapts to whichever style of squash you play.
WHO SHOULD BUY THE HEAD MICROGEL 125 SQUASH RACKET
