Feel like you're losing the flame in your game? Then Re-Ignite it with this newly updated stick from Ektelon. All of their frames for the upcoming season use a new graphite bonding process to improve the frame's integrity. The use of lighter weight materials for the cosmetics helped to compensate for the heavier resin used in order to keep the same feel you're used to but with greatly improved durability. The new and improved Ektelon EXO3 Re-Ignite now weighs in at 180g unstrung; making this the hardest hitting racquet in the new Ektelon line. The heavier weight makes it ideal for doubles and hard hitters, especially with the head light balance to make it maneuverable when needed. If it's still not enough muscle for you, you have the option to customize the racquet with new weighted inserts to really maximize the power potential.

#14 Jose DiazComments: The Re-Ignite redesign is outstanding, I currently have 2 and they have been restrung multiple times this season and the frame is still in great shape. This is a far better design than last years model, which did not last over two months each.

Comments: This was my first racquet back in 2010. It's really heavy but the racquet will take a beating. It has a metal frame but has no graphite. It's shape will distort if you hit the wall too hard on the sides but it won't crack and break like higher quality racquets do. The racquet also vibrates like no tomorrow. The vibrations will give you tennis elbow. All starter kit racquets vibrate. It's worth the $20 if your not sure if you'll like racquetball.

Comments: This is a great racquet. It has a very firm feel throughout the frame. I'm more of a power+tap player and the racquet does well with both styles. The only bad thing about this racquet is that if you smack it on the wall while playing the paint chips off. Ektelon makes an accessory called Ektelon bumper guard tape. I'm assuming they knew that would happen. Unfortunately that also makes the racquet heavier.

Comments: If you liked EXO3 Black you'll love it. Very similar feel, more power. EXO3 Black developed crack after 1 year, this is a sweet upgrade...
