Ratings and comparisons for all racquets can be found in Racquetworld's Technology/Ratings Section

Racquetworld's Durability Rating:    90.00

Racquetworld's Power Rating:     Age 24- 94.55, Age 35- 94.55, Age 45+ 92.57

Racquetworld's Control Rating #1 (Front Court):   96.03

Control 1 (Front Court) represents how the racquet handles upfront in the court.  We’re basically looking at how certain components stacked together produce good (or bad) racquet maneuverability.  To figure this out we look at the weight, balance point, and shape of the frame.  We throw all this info into Pat’s brain along with a couple hours of hit testing and out pops the rating.  This value is useful especially for doubles players who find themselves covering the upfront court a lot.  It’s also good to know if you’re a good server and find yourself quickly putting away returns off your serve without leaving front middle court.

Racquetworld's Control Rating #2 (Back Court):  95.04

Control 2 (Back Court)  represents the traditional control rating when taking a full shot from mid to back court.  Our goal with control is to redirect the Force of the ball.  We again focus on weight, balance point, shape, string pattern and tension, frame stiffness and on court experience. 

Racquetworld's Overall Rating:   Age 24- 94.49, Age 35- 94.49, Age 45+ 93.50

Bang for the Buck  

Racquetworld's General Notes:

Every year Ektelon continues to be a dominant force in the racquetball industry and this year will be no exception.  Ektelon has come out with two new high end racquets for the 2008-2009 season which are the Ektelon Speedport Red and Speedport Camo and they hit hard!!!  These racquets are both the same so choose a color and hit the courts!  The Speedport Camo is a limited edition racquet  so order yours today before it's too late!

Here's a little blurb about the new technology: 

Ektelon's Power Plug technology offers 7 different swing weight configurations.  Depending on the location and amount of plugs added to the frame's O/Speed ports, players now have complete control of the overall weight and balance of the racquet.  Adding anywhere from 1.5 up to a fully loaded 16 grams to the frame results in a wide variety of swing weight, stability and power combinations.  It's like having 7 racquets in one!

This new technology has been huge for Prince already (Ektelon's Tennis company).  We feel this will be Ektelon's best year yet!  Another question we get asked is, "If there are bigger holes in the frame, what does this do to the durability?"  We asked this ourselves and Ektelon assured us that incredible amounts of testing have been done and these frames will hold up as well or better than previous years.

If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO program.

These are available in larger XS grip size only.

I would recommend changing the grip to a Python (Our favorite), or Head TackiMac  for the added traction to prevent slippage.  The Racquetworld Grommet Tape upgrade ($1) can save you $$ in the long run as sometimes strings break from the grommet being worn down.  For those who don't know what the grommet is, it's the plastic piece at the top of the racquet that the strings go through.  When you hit the wall and floor this gets worn down.

The Prince Premier string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Prince Premier string we suggest.  At the time of purchase, the Prince Premier restring upgrade is $21.95.  It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away.

If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Ektelon Silencer (Our favorite), Head Megasorb, Gamma Worm or the BBB (Big Bad Band).

The wristlacer black is the default wrist tether that comes on your racquet at no charge.  If you want to change colors, a small fee of $2.95 will be added for switching.

A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?"  It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet.  Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper.  For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!

We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.
