Back in 2015, I wrote an article about my hopes of knowing which racquetball gear the pros used, so that I might take advantage of that knowledge to improve my own game play. I will be asking the pros listed about when they restring, what kind of string they use (gauge and monofilament vs multifilament), and who restrings their racquets. I will add that to the video section on each player as I get replies.

This is the 2024 version of that article, since RacquetballWarehouse has gone away, and the pro tours still don’t cover the material.

Back to the racquet index.

Up next is the Gearbox GX1 165T – Purple racquet.
