Product Description
The GB250 series is what started it all for Gearbox in helping make them the powerhouse racquet manufacturer they are today. These racquets come in 165g Tear, 165g Quad, 165g Quad Feather, 170g Tear and 185g Quad weights. When the GB 250 series sold for $200 it was hard to keep in stock and now that it is below $150 it will be even harder. Pick up 1, 2 or 3 before it’s too late as this will be one of the best deals we have available in this price range.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

Simple design, best accuracy and power

- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2025After taking a break from Raquetball, it was time for more updated gear now that I am playing again. The weight was just right, as I have aged, and my swing speed isn't quite what it was before. The "sweet spot" on this racquet is quite large and therefore shots do not have to be so precise every single time. The build quality was top notch, and the grip material has held up to several months of playing 3x a week within signs of wear. I would recommend this to any player over the age of 35, looking for a good all-around racquet.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2024I've been using Gearbox racquets since 2010 and this racquet is amazing! The power and accuracy is my absolute favorite, I've used some other racquets with fancy designs where there are holes in the sides of the frame, or the strings run all the way through the bottom of the handle in one piece, but these Gearbox racquets are simply the best.
I have one Gearbox racquet that hasn't been restrung since 2012 and it still hits great, I highly recommend against going that long between restringing but that speaks to the durability of the racquet!
I got this featherweight racquet to see if I can take it easy on my old shoulder and still have some good power out of the racquet, I'm not disappointed in the slightest! The accuracy is still on point, it's almost telepathic, the racquet seems like it's a cheat code and sends the ball where I want it to go with only minimal input from me, I love it!
If I were to recommend a racquet to anyone, beginner or veteran, I would always point them towards a Gearbox racquet, the racquets are simply the best! The grip, when new, is tacky, the performance is top notch, and the price is very reasonable when compared to those racquets with all the fancy design features that don't work for me.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2024It’s not even two months since I bought this racquet and it’s already broke. It is past the return time and I am not sure what should be done. This is not a good quality sporting good. I expected more from Gearbox products for the price I paid. Please provide assistance with repair or ship me a new one.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023I haven't played racquetball in over 20 yrs: was just trying to find a racquet quickly. This has wonderful power and excellant feel. I primarily play tennis at a high level. It was nice to be able to tell the difference in the new technology for racquetball rackets.
