Wilson Racquetball Racquet
There are two types of Wilson racquetball racquets – The cheap entry level racquet that costs around $20-$50, and the top end line for more serious racquetball players. If you play racquetball at least once a month, we recommend going with the top end line. These racquets usually cost around $170. That’s a bit pricey but you will feel the difference immediately. Here are some ways to get a top of the line racquet for a lower price;
- Buy the previous years’ model. You can save 50% this way and you still get a high quality racquet.
- Find a local representative from Wilson. A lot of local reps will sell the racquet for their cost. The easiest way to find your local Wilson rep is to show up at a USRA sanctioned tournament in your area and ask the players there. Wilson usually has at least 1 local person who is in charge of local sponsors. This is who you want to buy your gear from.
The current line of performance racquets from Wilson is called the BLX series. Wilson made a significant change from the previous models. The shape of the racquet is different and they are all head heavy. In the past, you could hit with the previous year model and the current year model without much difference. You can’t do that with the BLX line — these racquets have a completely different feel and take a bit to adjust to.
- Lockjaw – 160g – Lightest model.
- Sword – 185 – Heaviest model which offers the most power.
- Warlock – 175 – The “Goldilocks” racquet — not too heavy, not too light. This is the Wilson Racquetball Racquet we see most.
As a reminder, if you want a top of the line racquet the best way to purchase one is through the local rep. If you’re looking for the low cost Wilson racquets you can purchase those through your typical stores – Sports Authority, Big 10 Sports, or even right here via Amazon.
