How do you make a good racquet even better? Make it stronger! Ektelon has re-vamped their racquet molding process to increase the durability of their new line of frames. The Ektelon Speedport Red still offers the Power Plug technology, which offers 6 different swing weight configurations when you purchase the weighted inserts. Depending on the location and amount of plugs added to the frame's Speedports, players can optimize the performance of their racquets through customization. Adding the plugs to the frame results in a wide variety of swing weight, stability and power combinations. It's like having 6 racquets in one!
The Speedport Red no longer comes with a Cover or Power Plugs. Power Plugs can be purchased separately when the racquet is added to your cart.

Comments: I have always played Ektelon but my experience with the O3 and Speedport series racquets has been horrible. Frames begin to crack at the top corners (both sides) and soon break. Local racquet shop has a bucket of broken Ektelons with the same fractures. Switched to Head without a single problem.

Comments: Love the way it played but hated the fact that after 2 months of playing the racquet will snap in half. I then sent the racquet back and received a new one. The new racquet with in 2 months broke also in the same spot, that spot is at the 3 or 9 position. This racquet frame is terrible. Now I'm looking for a new racquet to try, looking forward to trying the Wilson K Boom.
