The Head Sonic Series is finally back and only at Racquetworld! The Sonic 900 was the best selling shoe of all time at Racquetworld and when they closed the shoe down we begged them to bring it back for us The Sonic 2000 is the perfect upgrade to the Sonic 900 and will be the best selling Mid shoe in no time at all coming in an affordable $69.95 price. We were going to price this at $89.95 but are taking a margin cut to try and get as many of these out on the market as we can. This shoe is the best bang for the buck available in the whole racquetball world For all you fans of the classic Sonic shoe welcome back!!
The Head Sonic 2000 Mid Indoor Court Footwear shines with comfortable power, every step of the game. The combination of breathable mesh element and durable synthetic leather materials ensures a great fit and out of the box comfort. The internal pre-molded heel counter guarantees a great heel fit and stability while a breathable mesh material on the tongue keeps you always fresh. The non-marking HEAD HyBrasion gum rubber compound offers the best traction and great durability on every court while the cushioning EVA midsole ensures best shock absorption during hard landings.

Feel great, good ankle support, size was just right

So far so good. I was looking for shoes that fit well and have good ankle support without rubbing on my ankles or feeling constrictive, and these are great. I'm also hoping they last a long time; while it's hard to tell at this point whether they will, they do seem to have solid, straightforward construction.

Great Pickleball Shoe

This review is long overdue for the shoes and the service at RW. I have bought 4 pairs of these from RW in the past few years. They hold up great on all court surfaces and I wear out the insoles long before the soles become worn. The mid cut gives plenty of ankle support. I play Pickleball at least 3 times per week.
Having played racquetball for over 25 years before taking up Pickleball I can also see how this would be a great racquetball shoe.
Getting ready to order several more pairs.

Still too new to give an honest review. Fit is good and I like the way they feel. Have needed an upgrade for too long so hopefully this will be it. The mid is a good feature but not new to me.

This is a great pair of shoes. It is a court grabber. This comfortable shoe makes it easier to cover the court. The price was the lowest on the web.

This is my fourth pair. No sprained ankles since using this shoe.

So, quite obviously I love the shoe. I have not had an ankle sprain in years, none with this shoe, and I have weak ankles.
The only thing I would change is to shorten the laces, which need to be
double tied or cut in the middle. Also, the plastic end points need to withstand
plenty of use.

I have been wanting to go back to a mid shoe and decided to look at Racquetworld.com to see what was available. After reading the reviews, I decided to try this one. I couldn't be happier with the shoe; the gum sole gives me excellent traction and the mid height gives me the ankle support that I am needing. Great shoe, great price, and great service!

Bought these shoes and ironically several days later these same shoes went on sale at RW. I emailed to ask what the policy is and never heard back! Maybe the email got lost in the move to their new location? Other than that I do like the shoes!

I'm a big fan of the HEAD brand so I ended up looking at the Grid 2.0 & the Sonic 2000. I ended up choosing the Sonic 2000 because of the Mid Cut as I wanted a little more ankle support. You really can't beat this shoe for the price as it's lightweight and has held up incredibly well. On amazon they are $89.95 so this is the best deal I found for them.

About Court Grabbers
5 years ago at this time we signed top ranked racquetball player Rocky Carson as a Racquetworld sponsored player and with that agreement we were given the rights to sell Court Grabbers exclusively in racquetball as Rocky is the key force promoting these in the industry. In less than 1 week we sold out our original supply and had to order more and then were solid sellers the whole time. Finally after a 6 month drought they are back in stock and upgraded with a cool new design that really pops. If you want your shoes sticking to the court like never before or have slippery courts and need a solution pick up some Court Grabbers today and never look back.
Dust falls on every racquetball court in the World. It never stops accumulating. That's why athletes have been slipping & sliding on racquetball courts for many decades. Court Grabbers were designed with one "mission" in mind: Allow players to control their traction where and when they need it most - ON THE COURT, DURING PLAY.
Testing has shown that Court Grabbers are effective, as instructed, on courts made of wood, rubber tile, and composite material, and some tile floors. Use on any other surface, such as tennis surfaces, both indoor and outdoors, should be tested before use in practices or games. Court Grabbers are not to be used on sealed, concrete courts/floors.
Court Grabbers are designed to work with just a light, smooth pass of one shoe over the opposing Traction Pad. It is not necessary to push down hard on the Traction Pad. With practice you'll find that this can be accomplished very quickly. Some players like to just "touch" the pad to the sole of the shoe. You can choose to clean the entire shoe or just the "ball" of your shoe. The real beauty of Court Grabbers is that each user can find their own method of use that best fits their game!

Installing Court Grabbers
About the Gel
Court Grabbers Traction Gel delivers the World's Best On Court Traction!
Court Grabbers Traction Gel 4oz provides about 1 months of Game Winning Traction! Based upon three (3) lines of gel designed to provide 30 minutes of On-Court traction. Each ounce of Traction Gel provides unmatched grip for 10-15 sessions.
The package comes with one 2oz bottle of gel in a squeeze bottle with a flip top, additional 4 oz bottles can be purchased.
The Traction Gel has been formulated with a blend of all natural ingredients, including the tint which is achieved by the use of common food coloring. It does contain ethyl alcohol, the same ingredient found in most hand sanitizers, but at about one quarter (1/4) of the concentration. The traction gel is not meant to be ingested and a bittering agent is present to discourage ingestion, so it should be kept out of the reach of small children. The ingredients in the Traction Gel have no known effect on shoes, rubber, or court surfaces. Care should be taken not to spill the Traction Gel on your shoes or the court. Traction Gel will wash from clothes in a normal wash cycle. Water does not work on the court and is not a safe substitute for the Traction Gel.The ingredients in the gel have no adverse effect on the court, and do not "build up" on the shoe or the court. Any spilled Traction Gel cleans up easily with water and a towel.
Additional Questions
How long will Court Grabbers remain effective on the court?
Court Grabbers are designed to provide consistent traction, on average, for about 15-30 minutes, although much longer periods of effectiveness have been observed, depending upon the frequency of use required for your activity and playing style. You should become familiar with your individual usage times.
The best results come when you reapply Traction Gel during breaks in play such as quarter breaks, halves, timeouts and periods between games when you are not on the court. No more than 2 light lines of gel are needed to completely restore full function. *More Gel does not equal more grip! *Never apply more than 3 light lines of gel the length of the Traction Pad. All court sports have some sort of play stoppage or break that will allow you to "recharge" the Traction Pad with 1 or 2 thin lines of gel.
How do I clean the Traction Pad?
The Traction Pad removes the dust and dirt from your shoes, and it gets dirty, you just may not see the dust and dirt! After each use, separate the Traction Pad from the Base Strip by holding each one firmly and pulling the Traction Pad off the Base. Toss the Traction Pad in the washer and dryer with your clothes.(The Base Strip remains on your shoe and does not need washing) If you are at a tournament or do not have a laundry, hand soap and a toothbrush can be used to clean the Traction Pad. Rinse clean and use a blow dryer or air dry until a laundry is available. If dirt prevents the Traction Gel from absorbing correctly, do not use your Traction Pads until you can clean them thoroughly. Having a second or third set of Traction Pads "loaded" and ready to go for tournaments is a great way to ensure you have the traction you need for a long day of games!
Do they work on all shoes?
Court Grabbers will work on all shoes with exposed laces. Shoes with straps at the ankle level should be fine. You can adjust how Court Grabbers sit on your shoe by moving them up the laces. Court Grabbers will not work on shoes with mid-instep straps. Straps that are near the top of the shoe should work fine.
Court Grabbers work best on shoes with normal, flat soles, found on most court shoes.
What are the dimensions and how much do they weigh?
- Court Grabbers are 2.25 inches in length.
- At the widest point, they are 1.25 inches and taper to .25 inch at the narrow end.
- The complete unit is very thin. They sit a mere 1/8th of an inch above your laces.
- Court Grabbers are feather light. 2 Base Strips/Traction Pad units weigh a total of ½ an ounce.
