What a fantastic shoe. I have to switch from HiTech which I've loved in the past due to sizing issues. I had the Gel Rockets previously and they were very light but lacked durability and overall felt a little cheap. Recently picked up the Volley's and at 11.9oz's there are the lightest racquetball shoe I've come across and they are awesome. Great support, very light, feel more quality than the Rockets (only time will tell on the wear), and in Gel insoles are fantastically comfortable. Shoe size ran true to form as I'm typically an 11.5 in almost everything and in these Ascis as well. Kudos Asics.

Defective. Anyone else having this problem? Used them for years with no problems and I've had 2 racquets (4 total including partners) break within a game or two 3 times now. Stringer is a veteran who says the company told him the string was defective. 17g multifiber.
Rumor is you're scared. I'm just saying.
:lol:
I understand that a rep shouldn't be spouting about quality issues but covering up their mistakes only makes it worse.

I did. Some of you may be familiar with Kinesio tapping as seen in the Olympics and other major sports. It's basically tape to help support weak or strained muscles and joints. So I got to thinking, I have terrible posture and it seemed to be aggravating my shoulder complex, so what if there was Kineso tapping built into apparel? There is. I found, ordered, and have wore the posture shirt by Opedix and I love it. It really keeps my shoulders retracted in a proper position and reduces my bad mechanics and eventual post play inflammation/pain. If you have any interest here's the website: http://www.opedix.com/mens_ps_posture_shirt.aspx

New cosmetics for the GB250 and GB125. We are also, introducing a Tear Drop Shape in the GB 250 only available in 170g and a new GB75 starting at 69.99.
I'll say it again, it's not about the gimmicks, it's about solid racquet design.

What's the average play hit?
Advanced player?
Pro's?
I've heard A to Open players are in the 120's and the Pro's as fast as 160.

Anyone else see it? Tennis Channel. Rocky vs Jack. 8pm-11pm EST
I didn't see or hear any promotion of it. Gonna be tough to get people interested in watching it if they don't know it's on. :(

How practical can someone convert an old tennis court or maybe even incorporate one into an outdoor court.
I can work around the dimensions. What material can I use besides a concrete wall? My first idea was to mount walls on the back fence so they could be permanently attached and swing out to create sidewalls. And fix a permanent back wall. This would give me a 20' wide wall with 2 10' side walls. Front wall could be as high as the current fence which I would guess is 15' ? Is there a wood/board material out there or an idea other than this?

My partner and I were able to pull off a nice run through the West Virginia Open division this weekend. We had a couple really tough matches including our first match that we won 11-10 in the tie break.
Thanks to a lot of hard work and Gearbox for providing such a solid racquet.

My goal this year is to add a glass wall to one of our local YMCA's courts. Anyone have a good connection to a glass wall maker or company? I have a friend who will donate the steel beams and labor to install it, I just need to price a wall and get my goal going.
Doesn't scare me.
Looking good. :wink:

Life doesn't get much better than this.
Anyone here planning on playing? I hope to bring up 2 or 3 doubles teams. Guys in my area have played in it before and talk about how much fun it is. I can't wait to see me and my partner stack up.
I've nicknamed this stick the "War Hammer" because when I play with it I'm pretty much bringing the pain. Not only do I absolutly crush the ball with this thing I've got better touch! Somehow the design of this racquet does two things really good. One, it hits the ball and gives nothing back. I mean when you hit through the ball you hit through the ball. My other racquets seem to "fade" or "soften" up on me. For example when I hit my nRage it seems to float off the racquet where the GB250 explodes and pounds right through it. And the second thing it does really well is stay nice and firm in my hand for those touch shots up front. I think it's combination of a great grip/feel and a solid base. Without much effort I can get enough on the ball. Again it seems like it's just a much more solid racquet than anything I've played from Ektelon or Wilson.
To be honest I kinda like the gimmicks of the newer racquets with "power plugs" and "gel technology" but the truth is the GB250 just flat out gets it done without all that. I played a common opponet last night with the GB250 for the first time and even he could tell a difference. I was smoking passing shots, hitting harder drive serves, and more consistent which is what matters most. I felt more confident too. The psychological factor was there whispering in my ear that I had better equipment, more power, and basically the sound of that ball exploding off my racquet was down right intimidating.
Now I sat here for a couple minutes trying to come up with up the cons of said racquet. I really have to pick hard to come up with a slightly unbalanced feel (which I got used to in the matter of minutes). It felt maybe an once or two heavier than the nRage but that may be the weighting issue as well I'm not sure. The grip and feel was tremendous. The strings and tension (I put to the test) held up nicely. My only true concern is wear and tear and only time will tell.
Sometimes you are leery of a new car model or new redesign so to speak. You don't want to buy the first year because that's when they find the flaws. Well I'm not sure GearBox has much to improve on. For me I think this is overall a great racquet and the thought of a better racquet in the years to come is scary. I wasn't expecting much or for the product to match the hype but overall I think this is the best introductory racquet anyone could ever design.
Now if GearBox could only design a good mental game in a box that would be great too.
