The following guide is provided to help you on your way.

What should you look out for when choosing a racquetball racquet?

Here are some of the most important things to note before buying a new racquet.

Head size

Racquetball racquetshave fewer variations in head size as tennis racquets, but still subtle differences can influence play. If you're hitting the ball, the bigger your head size, the wider your sweet spot will be. You'll experience fewer misses and you'll still get a little power behind your shot when you're not hitting it perfectly.

Weight

If you play a tournament with several games, then swinging the racquet repeatedly will really tire you out. For that reason, lighter racquets would be helpful as it can help you stay quick throughout a long match, giving you the edge against a tough opponent. Howver, don't sacrifice durability by going too light.

Balance

Most pure power players buy a racquet that is head-weighted to generate more force behind the ball. The weight of a racket must be distributed evenly throughout the whole. This style of play is preferred by players who place the ball with finesse rather than relying on just power. When shopping, select your style wisely. Additionally, do not use a new type of weighted racquet in match play until you have adjusted to it. Make sure you practice with it before putting it to use in a game.

Grip

选择正确的大小为您的新racquetb的控制all racket is very important. Your game can be affected more than you can imagine when you have the wrong grip size. Racquets are strung and gripped at the factory— you can see these factory options on our Product Facts page. If you want to measure your grip, you need to take out a measuring tape. Turn the palm of your hand upward, with your fingers extended out and together. With the measuring tape, measure the distance between the end of your ring finger and the bottom crease of your palm (usually at the point where your thumb connects to your hand). You need to look for a grip of that size. The most common measurement is between 4 and 4^3/4inches.

A lot of people wrap their new racquets in grip tape. If you're planning to do the same, consider getting a grip size one size smaller than your hand measurement. This will allow you to add grip tape to the grip without making it too big for your hand.

Durability

The game of racquetball can sometimes accidentally become a contact sport. It is inevitable a racquet will break from time to time. Choose a racquet made from materials other than plastic to help prevent this. Graphite, carbon fibers, and plastic resins are some materials that make good racquetball racquets. These materials in racquetball racquets make them light and much more durable.

String type

Raquetball string types are less important than in tennis because of the way racquet balls are constructed, but they can still influence gameplay. You can occasionally do a few more tricks with the ball if you use higher-quality strings. So when you think of buying a new racquet, pay attention to the string type that it has.

Pricing

Keep to a budget you can afford. Investing in a racquet from the previous year is a great way to save some money while still purchasing a top-of-the-line model. The price ranges of racquetball racquets vary widely: it is possible to buy them for less than $15, or for more than $200. You have a lot of options to choose from when it comes to price. Start by determining your racquet buying budget based on your finances, your usual playing frequency, and your skill level. This will assist you in narrowing down your choices to start with.

Determine your brand options

There are various technologies that affect how the racquet feels and plays. This would vary by model and brand. For best results, we recommend trying out different racquets before commiting to a purchase.
