I need an endcap for an Ektelon 2500 DPR lite. I accidentally tore it up replacing the grip. It may not be called an endcap, but it's the plastic piece on the end of the grip. I'm hoping someone has a broken one that I could get the cap from.
Thanks

I am looking for a light racquet for my kids that have just started playing. I heard someone mention a Wilson 150G. Does anyone know about this racquet or have 1 or 2 laying around they may want to get rid of?
My kids were off school today and have recently taken an interest in racquetball (they have played a total of 3 times), so I took them to play. I reserved a court at 4:30, which is a pretty busy time at my gym and I assume every gym in the country. While my kids were playing around hitting balls, a group of 4 guys were complaining about not having a court (they didn't reserve one mind you). I got the impression they play at that time most of the time. 2 of the guys were fine, but 2 of them were actually making comments like I shouldn't take up one of the most coveted time slots with kids who can barely hit the ball. They didn't make the comments to me, just to each other. I am usually confrontational, but not with an 11, 9, and 5 yr old with me. I try to set a good example. I did talk to one of the guys that wasn't complaining and said I would have probably given up my court if I didn't drive 45 minutes with three kids that were so excited to play. He understood and apologized for the other guys. Does anyone wonder why racquetball is not as popular as some other sports. If you don't get the kids involved, it doesn't have a chance. Actually, I just switched to this club from another because the old one doesn't allow anyone under 12 in the gym. The funny thing is that I could beat any of these guys. Should I kick them off the court since they don't play up to my standards? I just needed to vent a little. I hear so much about getting the juniors playing. You want to get sponsored? Don't just be good, promote the sport (start leagues, run tournaments, GET JUNIORS INVOLVED!!!!)
My sons (ages 9 and 11) have started playing racquetball. I don't want to get them lessons at this point before I see if they will stick to it. I know enough to get them up and going. My biggest question is about multi-bounce. I have seen this listed in several tournaments but have never seen any of those played. The reason I ask is that they were having a lot of trouble catching the ball off the back wall before hitting the floor. I told them not to worry about how many bounces, but worry about hitting the ball and swinging correctly. Is this a counter productive strategy? Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks
It seems odd to me that the 16's are free if you are able to watch live, but as a subscriber I can't watch them later on archives. I realize the free viewings are teasers to get more subscribers, but I would like to see them as well. The next statement isn't as true this year as last, but- I would like to see some different players than the usual suspects. Don't get me wrong, I love watching Kane, but I would like to see some other matches as well. Is there a cost to upload the video? If it was streamed live, I am sure it was recorded. Does the IRT Network have to pay the players if they archive the matches?
I assume there is a reason for only showing the Q's,Semi, and Finals, so what is it?
I have several racquets on Demo right now (Thanks Manny). I have the Head Black Jack and Royal Flush. I also have the KM 700. I have been playing with the head Problem Child, and like both of the Head racquets, but wanted to try the KM 700. I am playing tomorrow, but noticed that there are no vibration dampeners on any of the PK racquets. Do most people still add them, or is there something in their technology that is different? Not a big deal, I can just tell a big difference in the Head racquets without the vibration dampeners.
Has anyone figured out how to watch the irt-network streaming on the iPhone?
