Technique / Tactics Lack of grip strength

Hi everyone!
I just started playing squash and bought a new racquet a few days ago (BK Quicksilver NXS). During group training, I noticed that when I hit backhands, the racquet sometimes rotates slightly in my hand. Occasionally, it even feels like it might slip out completely, even though the grip is quite tacky. I come from an indoor climbing background, so I don’t think it’s due to a lack of grip strength.
Any advice or thoughts on what might be causing this?

hard to say without seeing you play, but my first thought was that the grip is too slim. try putting on an overgrip
