Description
The used HEAD Cyber Tour squash racket offers a sensible upgrade path for club-level players who want a proven mid-range frame without paying full retail. This particular racket has been used for 6 months and has cleared our hands-on inspection with no cracks, no warping, and no structural damage — only a few minor paint chips and surface scratches from regular court play. The Green/Black color scheme stays sharp, the frame remains stable, and the racket plays close to its original setup. For intermediate players scouting a pre-owned squash racket from a recognized brand, this listing makes practical sense.
RACKET OVERVIEW
Where The Cyber Tour Sits In The HEAD Range
The Cyber Tour is the lightest model in HEAD’s Cyber squash series at 160 grams. Within HEAD’s wider squash line, it positions itself between recreational frames and the more demanding performance models like the Speed and Radical ranges. The combination of a 78 sq in teardrop head, head-heavy balance, and Amplified Fibre Technology gives it a clear identity — a power-oriented frame for players who want help generating depth on their shots without swinging harder.
The HEAD Cyber Tour squash racket has earned consistent listings across major Indian squash retailers and remains a recognized mid-range option in the squash racket India category. Buying this same model as a used HEAD Cyber Tour squash racket means getting that established performance at a meaningfully lower entry point.
CONDITION AND INSPECTION DETAILS
Cosmetic Wear From Regular Play
The racket has 6 months of regular court use behind it and shows a handful of minor paint chips along with light surface scratches across the frame. These marks are purely cosmetic — they affect appearance only, not playability or feel. The bumper guard at the top of the frame remains intact, and the throat area is free of dents. None of the wear sits in a high-stress zone that would compromise structural performance.
Structural Integrity Check
Every used squash racket listed at SportsGalaxy.in passes a structured hands-on inspection before going live. This Cyber Tour has been checked for hairline cracks along the head and throat, warping along the shaft, and stress damage near the yoke. The frame passed every check. The grommet strip is correctly seated, and the handle pallets are tight with no movement. The string bed retains workable tension and is playable for immediate use after delivery.
KEY DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Frame Material And Build Process
This used HEAD Cyber Tour squash racket uses a composite and graphite blend frame, which gives it a stable feel without adding excess weight. The construction relies on HEAD’s Amplified Fibre Technology — an in-house process where carbon fibres are stretched during manufacturing to improve bonding within the frame layup. The end result is added stiffness through the racket head, which translates into a firmer ball response on contact and helps the frame hold its shape during powerful hits.
Head Shape And String Bed Layout
The teardrop head shape with a 78 sq in (around 500 sq cm) face is the defining design feature. The wider hitting zone in the upper portion of the head creates a larger sweet spot, which forgives slightly off-center hits — a useful trait when you are still refining your timing on volleys or rebound shots. The 12×17 string pattern provides a balanced grid for power and bite, leaning more toward power than the tighter 14×18 patterns found on control-focused rackets.
ON-COURT PERFORMANCE
Power Generation And Depth
The head-heavy balance is the single biggest factor in how this racket plays. Mass concentrated near the head adds momentum through the swing, which helps push the ball deep into the back corners without forcing the player to swing harder. For intermediate players still developing wrist snap and stroke timing, this balance characteristic acts as a built-in assist on length shots and full-court drives.
Maneuverability And Touch Play
At 160 grams, the used HEAD Cyber Tour squash racket stays well within the maneuverable range. It moves through the air without dragging, which matters during fast exchanges at the T and quick volley sequences. The touch on soft shots — drop volleys, boast attempts, and short angles — is workable, though the head-heavy bias means this racket is more comfortable on attacking length than on delicate touch play.
WHO THIS RACKET SUITS
Ideal Player Profile
This pre-owned squash racket fits intermediate club players, returning players who want a reliable second frame, and improving juniors moving up from entry-level rackets. If you have moved past the beginner stage and want a frame that helps generate power without becoming unmanageable, this is a sensible match. Players who already favor control-first frames with even balance may find the head-heavy bias here a different feel than what they are used to.
Court And Climate Use Across India
Indian squash courts often run warmer and more humid than European or North American venues. The graphite-composite layup handles these conditions without softening, and the standard squash grip can be paired with an overgrip for sweat-heavy sessions. Among squash racket India buyers looking for the balance of price and proven performance, this used Cyber Tour is a workable option for both training and recreational match play.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q1. What is the actual condition of this used HEAD Cyber Tour squash racket?
Ans. The racket has been used for 6 months and has passed our full inspection with no cracks, no warping, and no structural damage. You will notice a few minor paint chips and light scratches across the frame from regular court play, but these are cosmetic only. The bumper guard, grommets, and handle are all in working order, and the racket plays close to its original feel.
Q2. Will the racket arrive with strings already on it?
Ans. Yes, this used squash racket listing includes the original string bed in playable condition. If you prefer fresh strings before your first session, restringing services are available at most local squash clubs and pro shops, typically in the ₹400–₹1,200 range depending on the string type you choose.
Q3. Is the used HEAD Cyber Tour squash racket suitable for beginners or only intermediate players?
Ans. The 160g head-heavy frame with a forgiving teardrop head can work for late-stage beginners, but it shows its strengths more clearly with intermediate players who can take advantage of the power assist on length shots. Absolute beginners might prefer a slightly more even-balanced racket while learning fundamental swing mechanics, since head-heavy frames take a short adjustment period.
Q4. How is the Green/Black color holding up after 6 months of play?
Ans. The Green/Black color scheme remains clearly visible and intact across the main frame. There are a few small paint chips — mostly along the head edges where wall contact is most common — but the brand graphics, throat detailing, and main color blocks are still sharp. No part of the frame has been repainted or touched up.
Q5. What is the typical price difference between a new HEAD Cyber Tour squash racket and a pre-owned unit in India?
Ans. New HEAD Cyber Tour rackets are listed at approximately ₹5,200–₹7,500 across major Indian retailers. A used HEAD Cyber Tour squash racket in inspected condition is listed at a lower rate, which lets you access the same brand and model at a smaller upfront cost. Refer to the price displayed on this product page for the current rate.
Q6. Can I exchange my old racket toward this purchase?
Ans. Yes. SportsGalaxy.in runs a Racket Exchange Program where you can submit your old tennis, badminton, or squash racket for hands-on inspection. If the racket qualifies, you receive a store credit value that can be applied toward a used or new racket purchase, including this Cyber Tour.
