Selling a slightly used GB 250T 170 (blue model), SS Grip. Racquet is in excellent condition. Comes with Gearbox racquet cover/napsack. $100 plus shipping. PM me if interested.
Selling a new GB Solid 1.0 165Q SS grip. Racquet was only hit with a couple of times and is in MINT condition! Has a brand new Python black grip, and was also restrung using 14x17 string pattern (for extra power) with Gearbox 17g. Included with racquet is the gearbox racquet cover and an additional set of string (HEAD PPS Syn Gut 17g black). $125 plus shipping. PM me if interested.
Just curious if anyone has tried these sticks out and what your thoughts were?

Just curious if anyone is using this string? I like it a lot, but have found it tends to move around quite a bit. Has anyone figured out a particular setup that helps minimize this movement, eg - crosses higher vs mains? If so, what tensions have you found to work best? Thanks in advance for any response(s).

Anyone playing with this racquet? If so, how do you like it versus last years Heatseeker?

Just saw this clip on RB Warehouse. Interesting how there isn't really a whole lot of difference in speeds with the various racquets. E-force was tops, though not by much.

Just bought my first pair of the five finger shoes and actually played racquetball in them. My feet never felt better and I don't think I'll ever be wearing another "regular" pair of shoes again. I should mention that my feet have already grown accustomed to minimalist footwear since I wear the New Balance Minimus Trail shoe for everyday use. But the feel you get with the Vibrams is quite extraordinary. I was surprised how well they performed on the court; only downside is I now have the nickname of Lizard Feet. The model I purchased (Komodosport LS) is actually designed more for cross training than some of the others, and it showed. Going to get a second pair next week. Anyone else have any good experiences with the Vibram Five Fingers?

Selling a pair of Asics Gel Volley Lytes, size 11. Were only worn a couple of times and are in mint condition. Color is Red/Black. Will entertain any offers. Please PM if interested (or email: jayazi@comcast.net)
To all Ektelon players: Which grip have you found to be your preference and why? I recently bought the Attack Lite and it has the standard SS grip. I did not get to try it with the SSR and just wonder if it would make any difference since I am probably going to purchase another Attack Lite.

Anyone had a chance to playtest these racquets yet? If and when you do, please share your thoughts. Thanks!

Here is a link I came across recently and it shows how much various athletes made in 2010, including Mr. Waselenchuk. Not a bad living for being the best at racquetball (interesting though how much the dude playing Darts made). Hopefully, the monies will increase even more for all RB pros as the IRT continues to grow.

Anyone get to play-test new racquets at Ektelon Narionals? If so, thoughts?
Looking to buy a used (in good shape) e-Force Lethal NXT GEN 160 SS. PM me if you have anything. Thanks
I am looking to buy one of these racquets. Have demoed and like both; kind of favor the RG since it seems to have a tad more control. However, I have never hit either one with a customized string/tension setup (demos have always had stock string), so that may make a difference. Thanks in advance for your input.
I have a barely used (about 4 matches on it) e-Force Command PowerFlex 175 SS for sale. Just got it a couple of weeks ago, but I prefer the lighter weight Command. In excellent like new condition. Asking $130 shipped. PM me if interested.
I have a brand new (plastic still on grip) PK Kinetic Quad 170 SS for sale. Comes with cover. Asking $125 shipped. PM me if interested.
Just looking to the stringing experts to give me a recommendation for a good 16g Mono string for my e-Force Power Flex 175. I currently have Ektelon Lightning 16g in at 32lbs and like it a lot. That said, is there a better 16g out there for my setup? Thanks.
