Selected User Reviews For HEAD Ti.175 XL Racquetball Racquet
However, I wanted to wait until I had broken it in and seen how it performed before reviewing it. This is my first review after I purchased it and dozens of games a little more than two months ago. As it happens, I play with a small group of guys, some of whom are 1 v 1, and some are competitive. The skill level of one guy with whom I play regularly is normally fairly even It's been a month since we began tracking the win/loss score. The Head Ti stayed in my possession until I bought it. We were just about breaking even at $175 A month would go to him, and I would go to him. It was usually 3 or 4 games that made the difference sometimes they were closer. The amount of games I have won against him have gone up about 90% since I bought this racquet. There is only one difference between the two the racquet. Not taking lessons or getting faster has been a challenge for me. I have not been bitten by a radioactive spider or been injected with Neither my midichlorian nor my telomeres have changed. I think newer strings attribute to the lighter raquet than the one I was playing with before (an old Ektelon), probably the lighter raquet is related to light strings. In fact, shooting is a lot more straightforward and there is a wider sweet spot than I am accustomed to. Some shots feel slightly off on the strike, but they land right where I want them. When I initially purchased this racket, I thought it was a bit risky. Now I have no regrets. The book is well worth the price.
So far I've played four of the games, and I believe the product lives up to its reputation. I now play one day a week as a C player in my 50's, down from a solid B in the past. So far I've used an entry-level racquet so this was a big upgrade for me. Plays very well for my style of play despite being heavier in the center than I had anticipated. The strength of my game is greater than the quickness of my game. The grip is good and the quality is good. Python grip is a new purchase for me, but I probably won't install it until after I wear down the OEM grip. Due to good stringing, I was able to make quick kill shots, which are reminiscent of my old days of playing. Since I tend to bang the walls at times, and after reading some previous reviews I was concerned about shattering it on the first go, so I held back somewhat. Overall, it seems to be a solid plan, and I'm sure I'll get over it. The playing partner liked the one I picked up and might also pick one up. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase and believe that it is a great value compared to some other higher-end.
Racquetball racquets played well in the match. I had problems with the safety cord because it didn't have any method of securing it to my wrist, so I had to take it off the racquet and tie a slip knot in it to make it function. After my first game with the racquet, the plastic guard around the outer edge of the racquet broke even as I was hitting the ball on this rough This is ridiculous that the Head folks were ignorant of this, in my opinion. I find the design to be very cheap.
Considering the weight of the racquet as well as the way it handles, the product plays amazing. The power has to be generated by hand, as is usually the case when you play with a light racquet. There is a problem with the build quality (lower price spectrum). Head came out with a poor build quality bumper guard on the racquet. I used this racquet for about three shots before switching back to my old one. Just one ball hit the guard, and it broke into a number of pieces. If you are interested in seeing more details about the bumper, I would recommend looking at pictures. This is not supposed to be so easy to crack. There was no contact at all with the wall. The first three shots I played came from the box. It's been my pleasure to own a lot of Head tennis rackets and some good (high-end) racquetball racquets as well. I know it's not the best, but this one's a letdown.
There are several pros to this. It is lightweight. Pros - Great for intermediate players
Cons - Not as good as I expected This racquet is made of very cheap material. After playing for a week, I have almost forgotten how to grip the instrument. I did not survive and the plastic around the frame broke the first time I hit it against It is not worth the price for experienced players.
I don't really care for the design since it's too tiny and short for a stable swing. I can no longer hit it hard with this as you can't hit the handles hard either. I was notified upon arrival that the plastic guard was cracked due to aging inside the warehouse (must have been there for a long time). This is a waste of time (I did not want to deal with it).
I was very careful with it, but unfortunately Head decided they had to put an adhesive sticker on the grip. The grip surface came away with it when I removed the sticker even though it had been removed carefully. I didn't ruin that nice headsticky grip, but it was marred a bit. It would be a bad idea to put a sticker on a sticky grip. A rich man.
The issue is not an issue. Fit is perfect for me as it is light and airy. There's no comparison between this racquet and the $20 Walmart racquet as far as stroke power and control of drop shots are concerned. Nonetheless, if your game is all about drop shots then you might want to check out this link for a better guide.
