 Ektelon Speedport Red Racquet
|
Comments: I have been playing off and on for about 15 years. I have always been a fan of Ektelon racquets, since my Ektelon Helix Arc 2 racquet. I love this racquet; it's got great power from the back of the court which is excellent for the back court kill shots and slat shots. I like it so much I bought TWO. Comments: This is by far the best racquet I've ever used! It has good power and great control. I've hit the wall a few too many times, but the racquet is still unaffected. I love the customization with the plugs, I'm a power player, so i use all four in the top, but when my arm gets tired I can take a couple out so I can still bring that racquet around quickly with a little less effort. And, although the handle took a little to get used to, I couldn't imagine going back to a round handle now. I say this is the best racquet out there. Comments: I have been playing with this racquet for several months now and am very pleased. I recently demo'd the Gearbox GB 250 170g, the Head Meanstreak, and the Prokennex KM 750 and Quad 500. Of those four I like the GB the best but am happiest with the Speedport. I like the plugs and don't feel they are a gimmick at all. They truly let you customize the racquet to best suit your game. I have tried different configurations and currently use the two black plugs up top to give me a slight head heavy feel. Excellent power and control. The oddly shaped handle has really increased the power in my backhand. A great stick. Comments: Changed from the o3 red to the Speedport Camo and love it. Great power, lovely grip shape and nice touch / feel. Don't bother with the power plugs as i like it without and think they are a bit of a gimmick anyway. Racket seems strong as have hit the wall a few times and no marks on it yet. Comments: This racquet is a good buy! Switching from the Ektelon O3 White, this is a real change but for the better. I have been able to hit the ball harder very effortlessly. Very good racquet! Comments: I love this racquet! I don't like the power plugs and I don't believe it. The feel is quite comfortable and is deadly on kill shots and backhand splat. Never leave home without one. Comments: I love this racquet. It has alot of power the weight of the racquet is even and the plugs are nice to play with as well. Comments: I have only been playing for 5 months and was looking for a better racquet(was using head mx190) when a friend let me use his speedport red after the mx broke. All I can say is wow!! This thing hits a ton with very little effort, accuracy is great, feels great..light and fast. Love the customization options (my choice is top 2 center plugs). What more can a guy ask for?? So I bought from him...LOVE THIS RACQUET, great job Ektelon!! Comments: This Racquet has a lot of power, but its easy to break so i wont recommend it Comments: This is the best Ektelon racquetball racquet I ever play with. It has a Great power & control. The Plugs that comes to customize this racquet really works. My choice is all 4 tops plugs in (head heavy). Comments: Over the last five years I have tried almost every top of the line racquet on the market and have been very happy with Eforce, until this year when a Pro told me to try the Ektelon Speedport. The combo of power and the fantastic control made me a believer. The racquet and grip took a while to get use to but now I own two a Red and a Camo. Simply put, The best racquet I have ever hit with. You have to try this one. Comments: I tried the Speedport on the demo program along with a number of other new racquets. I liked this racquet a lot. It seemed a bit more stable than the O3 white, with plenty of power and control. However, during the demo the racquet developed a lot more vibration than what I experienced initially and the control also seemed to suffer. I could not understand what happened until I noticed that the center strings had gotten stuck outside the groove in the grommet. I tried moving it back by hand but was not able and it being a demo I didn‚t want to be too forceful. In my opinion this is a great racquet (one of the best I've tried), but I would recommend that Ektelon increase the depth of the groove for the strings stay in the grommet properly. Comments: I'm only a D player right now, but based off my research and my demos of the E-Force lethal, command, Head Extreme, GearBox 250GB and this one, I can say that I would rather learn to play with the best racquet with the best accuracy and get used to it rather than play with a worse one and then have to switch and learn a new racquet. I love this racquet, I love how it feels, it's power with accuracy is incredible! Thanks to this, I recently took first in my division last tournament ( that's not saying much since I'm a D player, but I'm getting there! ) One thing I love about this, is I can customize this as I get better and desire different or less weight with more maneuverability! I love it! Comments: I've had a chance to demo many of the latest racquets and the Speedport has the best control/power combination out of any of them (just ordered two). I tried the GB250 Feather, e-Force Command 170, and PK Kinetic Quad (all great racquets). However, within the first few hits, the control of the Speedport was notably better. I felt like I could hit the ball low and with consistency with little effort when using the Speedport. Pinches and splats were almost effortless. While the power was not quite as strong as with the other racquets(I'm sure it would improve with the plugs in; I didn't use any), I felt it had ample pop when I needed to hit a pass or kill shot. My main preference is for more control and the Speedport comes up big in that category! I am going to stick with the factory string setup, but will probably try some Technifibre 18g once that wears out. |
