HEAD Graphene Radical 160/170/180 Racquetball Racquet Series, (3 5/8" and 3 7/8" Grip Available)

Good racquet

Light and strong

I play in a league at my fitness club and I had just won part 1 of my division with a Wilson 170, but decided I needed a second racquet when my strings broke which they did for the third time so I bought this at the recommendation of racquetworld.com. It swings lighter than my old racquet and the installed megablast strings delivered accuracy and power. I won part 2 of my division with this racquet so I moved up a division. I just finished part 1 the regular season in first place (wish me luck in the playoffs) so either I got really good or the racquet helped. The installed strings lasted about 3 months (about 100 hours of playing time) before breaking. Aftermarket strings weren't as good so I plan to try the megablast again. Most people I know who've swung it just to get a feel are immediately impressed. I think I made a good purchase.Update: Still using this racquet. I consistently break strings so I'm blaming myself and not the racquet. It's been so good to me I'm buying a second one as a back-up when the strings break (which they did just before a tournament so I don't want to get stuck in that situation again). my stringer is able to replace any parts that I abuse (grommet protector, strings, grip tape). I've whacked the wall a few times going after balls and there's no damage. I stand by my 5 star rating.

The frame broke within 2 months of use. No impact on any hard surfaces. Just normal play. Did not expect such a shirt life from a quality product.

I had taken up racquetball after a hiatus of a few decades. Initially I played with an inexpensive, borrowed racquet. My game wasn't very sharp, and my shoulder was often sore after playing. This new racquet made a big difference- I started beating people I normally lost to, and my shoulder hurt less. When I switched racquets with them, they often beat me. Alas, I hadn't improved that much, but this racquet made a difference. Now one of my regular partners bought this racquet after he tried it out, so there goes my advantage. The racquet feels light in the head, and swings easily. Highly recommend this racquet, especially for the older racquetball player.

Love this racquet! Absolutely would have given it a 5 star rating rating but was somewhat puzzled by a couple of things so far. Great quality racquet. On time delivery etc. Couldn't wait ti use it.First time I used it the safety string comes off untied. I thought that's on me for not checking to make sure it was on tight.The next day the grip comes lose on the bottom and I'm battling that the rest of my games. Now I'm ordering a new grip.Again....not a negative review but rather the importance of the little things. I paid good money to get a great racquet and I did. It was just disappointing to feel the difference in my game and then that happened.Hopefully it will all be good going forward.

Racquet frame cracked with no out of the ordinary use. There was no unusual use / abuse. I have had many racquets over the years - 30yrs and have never had a racquet break. This was my first Head racquet. I feel it should be replaced or a prorated discount should be offer as I purchased it in October of last year. Barely a year ago.Please advise

Have used Head racquets for years. This one is a great racquet like all the others.
