Ektelon Racquetball

You mean there is more than one kind of racket?

Selecting the racquetball racquet is good for you can be difficult. If you've played a while you already know if you're a guy HEAD / gal or a guy Ektelon / gal etc.

If you're looking for your first serious racket, or even your first time snowshoeing, answering a few simple questions can help you in your quest for the perfect racquet.

What Grip Size?

This is one of the easiest questions to answer. If you wear a glove size XL, you might want an XS (extra small, even if it is the larger of two sizes of handles racquetball.) Or 3-7/8 "or 3-15/16" grip.

Most everyone wants a SS (super small) or 3-5/8. Certain holders of large gloves can be a larger grip, but in general, the smaller handle lets you move the paddle around your hand easier for more control, and you can generate more pressure to the wrist more power.

If you're unsure, go with the SS, you can always put up the size of the handle with duct tape, but a shaving handle down is not recommended.

In addition to this, some are taken more rounded and some are more flat. In general Ektelon ProKennex and have a bit more rectangular (flatter) while the other handles manufacturers have more square (round) handles.

How heavy?

racquets good range of 150 to about 195 grams. Some racquets are heavier cheaper, but we suppose if you want to do this, you are somewhat serious about racquetball.

Lighter rackets are preferred by more advanced players. The lighter racket is more maneuverable and can therefore provide more control. Almost all professional players use a racket in the range 170-175g. This is the beach where the racquet is light enough to move, but a sporty person can still generate a bit of force with it.

In general, a heavier bat will help "put your swing around" and provide additional power, after all, Force equals mass x acceleration (F = ma). If you have a slower swing, the purchase a mass may be less acceleration. Less known, or simply slow swing speed players tend to heavier rackets. rackets heavier, may cause more arm fatigue over extended gaming.

Light weight only 165g, in general, are designed for people who do not seek a lot of power, or simply can not swing a heavy bat effectively. Petite women and young players would like a racquet 150g, because they can easily swing it, most players will probably find these rackets too lightly, and may even experience the pain of the elbow from swinging such a light racquet.

So, that's all there is to it?

Not quite. There are other factors to consider, such as balance and swingweight.

Balance can describe how the weight of the racket is distributed. Heavy Head refers to a racket that has its center of mass towards the head of the racket. Mass farther from the point of leverage (labor) required to spend more inertia, but generates more power. Mass near your hand, allows more control, but not much power. HEAD, Gearbox, and Wilson tend to be heavy head. E-Force Ektelon and tend to be slightly head slightly head heavy. ProKenn.
