E-Force is back for the 2019-2020 season with their new series called the Sector 5 which comes in 4 weights. The 160 & 170 gram weights are the Quadraform shapes which are designed for the player that wants power with a little extra control. The 170 & 190 weights are for the total power player and come in the Teardrop shape.
Total Racquet Explosive Power! Creating five distinct frame zones, Sector 5 Technology fuses together over 40 individual and precisely placed graphite laminates. Each of the 5 "sectors" is fined tuned to provide massive power. And when all 5 sectors are combined unparalleled performance. An extremely rigid racquet head is formed by near unidirectional graphite fibers. At both the corners and lower frame, stiff, light and torsion resistant GC Power Fibers are positioned on either side of a center zone of numerous multi directional carbon plies. Tremendous power and racquet snap are generated by an extremely flexible throat.
A total kill zone, integrating the 5 Sectors into one continuous frame provides insane power allowing you to dominate the court.
These are available in larger 3 15/16 grip size.
If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO Program.
A racquet cover IS NOT provided by the manufacturer with this racquet. You have the option to add a cover for $8-$12 if you would like.
RacquetWorld General Notes
RacquetWorld recommends changing the grip to a Python (Our favorite), which will be $12.00 installed, for the added traction to prevent slippage. The Racquetworld Grommet Tape upgrade ($2) 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 Python Atlas Deluxe string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable than the Python Atlas Deluxe string we suggest. At the time of purchase, the Python Atlas Deluxe restring upgrade is $29.95. It's normally $45 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $15 if you choose the upgrade right away. This string comes in Black or Natural and it’s a very soft string with incredible playability/durability. We recommend the 17g as it’s right in the middle of 16g (most durable) and 18g (most playable but less durable).
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Python Vibration Dampner (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 $3.95 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 2 bucks 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.
Racquet Covers - Choose one for $8-$12 (RacquetWorld Cover is Only $8.00)
A full racquet cover is NOT provided by the manufacturer with this racquet. You have the option of adding a full cover for $8-12 if you would like. If you want the best cover on the market buy the Racquetworld Cover. It is oversized, has a full outside pocket, a handle strap and a large shoulder strap as well as a ventilated pocket to let your grip breathe and best of all its $2-$4 less than the others because we want to help you by supporting our company! The charge will only be $8.00 when added to the cart for this choice instead of $10.00-$12.00 like the other covers.

Excellent power and control. Usually play with the Apocalypse, however can't find it in 190 g anywhere so took a chance on the Sector 5. Glad I did!

Excellent Racquet! Usually takes time to get a feel for racquet.
But Sector 5 gave me more power and control. Right from the first use.
The group of players I play with. They even notice. And they don't give compliments very often.

Exclusive RacquetWorld Racquet Ratings
Ratings and comparisons for all racquets can be found in RacquetWolrd Exclusive Racquet Ratings
Racquetworld's Durability Rating: 99.00
Racquetworld's Power Rating: Age 24- 95.75 Age 35 97.25 Age 45+ 96.75
Racquetworld's Control Rating #1 (Front Court): 94.00
Control 1 (Front Court) represents how the racquet handles upfront in the court. We are basically looking at how certain components stacked together to 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 is also good to know if you are 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): 94.50
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- 95.48 Age 35 96.23 Age 45+ 95.98

Sector 5 Technology NEW for 2019 - 2020
5 Individual Sectors... Fused as One. Hard Hitting! Game controlling Power. Creating five distinct frame zones, Sector 5 Technology fuses together over 40 individual and precisely placed graphite laminates. Each of the 5 "sectors" is fined tuned to provide massive power. And when all 5 sectors are combined unparalleled performance.
An extremely rigid racquet head is formed by near unidirectional graphite fibers. At both the corners and lower frame, stiff, light and torsion resistant GC Power Fibers are positioned on either side of a center zone of numerous multi directional carbon plies. Tremendous power and racquet snap are generated by an extremely flexible throat.
A total kill zone, integrating the 5 Sectors into one continuous frame provides insane power allowing you to dominate the court.
Sector 1: Zero/Ten Degree Composite: More power at the head of the racquet. Unidirectional and near unidirectional graphite fibers create extreme stiffness. This increass the hitting zone at the Sector 5's tip
Sector 2: GC power Fibers: Very light and incredibly stiff GC Power Fibers, laminated at multiple angles, reduce frame twist, head weight and direct more energy to the ball.
Sector 3: 10/30 Degree Composite: The large, deadly powerful and stable hitting platform is constructed of multiple angle graphite fibers strategically positioned between GC Power Fibers located at both the upper corner and throat of the racquet.
Sector 4: GC power Fibers: Very stiff and light, the GC Power Fibers reduce frame twist and create "Hinge" of flex point where the frame transitions from the main hitting area to an extremely flexable throat.
Sector 5: Composite Flex Blend: Very flexible throat increases "throat-flex" for a tremendous power addition over the entire racquet hitting surface.
GC Power Fibers for 2018 - 2019
Blinding velocity, a sharp crisp feel on contact! Hear the blast off the front wall . . . and see defeat on your competitor's face. New advanced, extremely stiff, yet incredibly light GC Power Fibers. GC Power Fibers are strategically positioned in the racquet frame among the TakeOver's over 50 carbon-graphite laminates. Stiffness is increased in critical areas of the frame creating greater power across the entire string bed.
Zero Richter Tubes X2 for 2015 - 2016
Patent Pending. New Extended Tubes - All mainstrings are enclosed in vibration dampening tubes hidden in the handle. 117 inches in total for less vibration & better feel
Power Boosters G2
G2 Power Boosters - Patent Pending. The Second Generation of Hi-Octane Power Boosters® - enhanced and extended to further stabilize the stringbed and increase power for on and off center hits. In addition, ball control and accuracy is increased. The boosters create a solid hitting surface increasing the confidence of the player by turning the entire racquet into a hitting, power, kill zone.
New for 2013 - 2014 Re-Engineered Boosters & Graphite Frame
E-Force has re-engineered the Power Booster and graphite composite frame system to create E-Forces most powerful and solid stable hitting racquet ever!
The new Invasion X includes new Power Booster Technology... but it wasn't easy. The Power Boosters add power, but also weight. Up to 5 grams of weight needed to be eliminated from the graphite frame in areas where all the excess weight had already been eliminated to make way for earlier E-Force power inventions. E-Force engineering successfully solved the "problem-without-a-solution" by further redesigning the approximately 50 graphite piece frame structure.
The result is a new graphite frame that adds the Invasion X's New Power Boosters without increasing weight or sacrificing balance and any of the many E-Force power technologies and play characteristics.
POWERHOUSE BREAKTHROUGH - In the past, all racquets had standard shaft lengths with whip and power. The introduction of 22" LongString Technology - available only from E-Force - changed racquetball withincreased power through the use of longer mainstrings in free space. Competitors responded by eliminating the racquet shaft and shortening the handle to allow slightly longer mainstrings, though far shorter than E-Force's. Now another breakthrough - E-Force combines the power of shafts with the power of 22" LongStrings in free space, for maximum power. Only E-Force has it.
Other E-Force Technologies Used
By-Pass Stringing System...
On the 2002 line, the main-strings skip two holes so therefore the ball never strikes two directly connected mains. It creates a livelier ball response and longer string life.
22' Longstring Technology...
...the most important technology advance in the history of racquetball. Patented 22.0" LongString Technology extends mainstrings through the entire length of the handle, creating center mains at least 6" longer than in competitor racquets. The ten center mains add at least 55 extra inches of combined length - an increase of at least 38% for power that will blow your opponents away
It's the same principle at the bow and arrow. For an equal amount of effort, longer mainstrings and racquet face cause the strings to stretch further, allowing the frame to store more energy. The result is a string/frame system which provides a more powerful shot when energy is released.
