Overview
The E-Force Darkstar 175 Racquet features tons of frame designs unique to E-Force including 22” LongStrings for maximum power, bright orange Power Boosters G2 which stabilize the stringbed even on off-center hits, and a long Powerhouse Shaft. Vibration dampening is provided by the Zero Richter Tubes X2 which encase each main-string through the handle and eliminate the need for a traditional worm-style dampener that may fall out. With durability in mind, E-Force engineers improved upon the Apocalypse Beta frame design by further refining the characteristics (such as size, shape, stiffness, quality, and placement) of the 50 individual graphite pieces that are molded together to create the Darkstar racquet frames.

Comments: Great racquet. Feels good on the arm. Makes it so the elbow does not hurt. (To much vibration from other racquets). I love power. Best power racquet there is. I love the control.

Comments: I didn't think Eforce could make a better racquet. They have, the Darkstar racquet is a rugged racquet for both indoor and door racquetball. I moved to a lighter racquet this year and it still punishes the ball with no reverberation. I am hard on racquets I still am unable to break one - Thanks Eforce for a great product!

Comments: The new E-Force Dark Star is a complete, compelling racquet that feels like a splat-friendly lightsaber from the very first swing. All the atomic power that E-Force racquets are known for is here, but so is the control and finesse. There's no vibration at all and the generous sweet spot is like a cosmic trampoline blasting the ball into kill shot oblivion. How much do I love my new Dark Star racquet? Almost as much as my opponents seem to hate it. The Dark Star is a galaxy-sized game changer! Way to knock it out of the solar system, E-Force!
