an ideal beginner's kitFebruary 7, 2007 My boyfriend and I are absolute beginners at squash. We decided to try it out because his new workplace has a court, so he borrowed a racquet from a co-worker and I ordered this kit. It was perfect for our purposes: the racquet and two balls were just what we needed to get started, and the pamphlet with the instructions/rules of the game came in handy once we got sick of randomly whacking the ball at the wall. My only complaint is the goggles: they're just plain painful and poked into my eye sockets, so after a minute I discarded them, which much improved the experience. The carrying bag is platicky and tacky, but compensates by keeping all the stuff together, so I'll consider it a slight plus.
