as above. will it be advisable to use a different, heavier racket for training to build up strength and power? or will it just mess up your timing.

I have a Head Metallix 130 developing a nasty crack I'd like to arrest. Not a cheap racquet but broken none the less :)
I only want to fix it well enough to lend to friends when I play with them.

- Don't mess your racket.
- Buy an average price racket, and when you crack it, maybe mend it with fibreglass and use just for the practice of shots near the walls, eg boasts and back corners.
- Always have a spare racket in your squash bag.
- By adding a weight to promote arm strength you may also promote injury, eg tennis elbow.

The problems and solutions as I see is:
Check out what your local fishing shop does to mend rods would be an idea too.
I was wearing my tennis racket out on the top (which can expose the strings) and I put a layer of araldite along the side and top to save making it any thinner. The same happens in squash as you scratch the tight shots off the side wall - the bricks work like sandpaper!
Some centres rescue rackets out of the rubbish bin and mend them for the juniors. Not perfect, but good enough for practicing around the walls.
Let's know how far you go with this.
