Okay, you caught me. I'll admit that I am a "newbie" at the game. If you're an experienced player perhaps you should take my review with a grain of salt. The weight is what surprised me most upon opening this Head I.165 racquetball racquet. Initially, I had no idea what grip to select. However, this was quickly remedied with a few searches around the web. I have a rather small hand and I find the 3 5/8 grip to be an excellent choice. I experience no fatigue to my hand/grip during my normal hour long play nor during my longer games (2-3 hours). I am a younger player (25) and find the weight to be an ideal match for the speed at which I am capable of swinging the racquet. If physics taught me anything, it taught me that F=ma and with my strength and age, I am able to user a lighter racquet. Older players may want to look for something heavier, but don't quote me on this.
At the onset of using this, I was scared to death of "smashing" it into a wall during a game. I quickly succumbed to reality after the first solid hit and was impressed with the strength of the frame. I have hit the wall countless times sense then and this racquet has held up without fail. Furthermore, after nearly 6 months of use the strings still feel as taught as they were the day this racquet arrived. I feel that this racquet is a good value for the price, given the amount I have used it and how much I enjoy playing with it.
