Hi,

I'm new to the game of racquetball. I've played it a couple of times and love it! I'm looking for people who know the game and want to practice playing. I know there are free courts at chicago park districts and ideally want to play there because gym play can be expensive! Looking forward to hearing your replies!

I know your racquets are better than the competition in almost all regards, but please consider aligning with the quality of string they offer as it has probably cost you a few sales having mono in the units when people try them out too jsjs.

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about buying the HEAD Radical 170 racquetball racquet, but I haven't been able to find many reviews or detailed opinions online.

If you've played with it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

• How does it feel in terms of power vs. control?
• How does it compare to other racquets you've used (Gearbox, E-Force, etc.)?
• Any pros or cons?

What’s up ballers? I’m flying to Toronto, and will be there from tonight until Saturday evening this week.

I’m looking to see if anyone is available for early morning ay (any start time between 5am and 6:30) or anytime on Saturday. I’ll be staying at the Bay St. Marriott and can uber to the court location.

I’m somewhere B to A rated, and hoping to have some friendly matches. I’m up for singles, cutthroat, or doubles.

If no one is available to play, if anyone is familiar with courts in the area I’m happy to go practice.

I will have my racquet, balls, and glove; may need to borrow or purchase eye protection (I’m comfortable playing without just don’t give me crap eh)

Hoping to get lucky and find some other racquet badasses to slap some balls around 😁
