Ektelon O3 Silver Review


Racquetball Racquets Ratings Summary

This is the most powerful series of racquets Ektelon has ever made. The series consists of two models which are the Red (170 grams) and the Silver (190 grams)...pretty easy to remember! The little round circles you see on the lower left of the picture are gigantic string holes located on the side and top of the frame. The question everyone asks us is what do all those little "O" ports (as Ektelon calls them) really do for the racquet and more importantly YOUR GAME! Here's what Ektelon says: "By replacing traditional pin-sized string holes with revolutionary giant O-Ports, a super aerodynamic frame has been created with a more responsive stringbed. This increases the sweet spot by 54%, creating a Sweet Zone, which means you hit your best shots … more often. What’s truly impressive is that the Prince engineers are able to do this all without enlarging the racquet head, increasing its length, or adding weight!"

I have had this racquet for one year. The first one I got the frame broke on it the first week I had it. Never crushed a wall or anything, honest!. The power is there when you turn up the heat but it is a heavy racquet. Coming from a 02 Light racquet I didnt like this one as much. The strings are loose and wearing through after 8 months of hard abuse 4X a week. I will purchase a lighter racquet next time. All in all not a bad racquet but I expected for for the price. I will probobly get the white after playing with the copper because it is a heavy racquet too.
