Best recquetball equipment according to redditors

I'm going to give you a couple of options because at 50 dollars you don't really get much variance. I put some starting at $75 and went down to 50. I've organized the list so that the better racquets starting from top to bottom but it's your money so feel free to pick whichever depending on if 50 is your absolute high point or not.

$75 used higher end racquet (mean streak on the right)

If you can't swing 75, but could swing $60, I'd get this

These gloves are all I've ever worn and they've never stained at all. I get plenty sweaty as well. The one thing is that they do wear out in the palm where the end of the racket sits, but it does take a while to get to that point.

holoball is a game that definitely needs straps. Wii straps are nice, but I suggest going with racquetball racquet straps: like the ones here

For that game, I also suggest wrapping the grip with tennis/raqcuetball overgrip.

Slackin. Good thing Amazon's got ya covered!

The starter racquets are the "bent-frame" kind... just a straight piece of material formed into a head shape. Most of the time, those racquets end up bending and leaning to one side and are pretty much worthless. A midlevel head i.165 (http://www.racquetballwarehouse.com/descpage.html?PCODE=I165) or a used KM 750 (http://www.racquetballwarehouse.com/useddescpage.html?pcode=PK15750) or even a Gearbox GB50 (http://www.amazon.com/Gearbox-GB-50-Racquetball-Racquet/dp/B00GNMJ0UU?ie=UTF8&keywords=Gearbox%20racquetball&qid=1463611541&ref_=sr_1_12&sr=8-12) will be a million times better and will last you several years. I know A-level people that still play effectively with those racquets (minus the GB50, but that's still a solid starter racquet).

Bumming balls or using what's left after others play is doable if that's an option, or you can just go to walmart and pick up a can of anything (purple and ektelon fire (http://www.amazon.com/Ektelon-Fireball-Racquetballs-Red-ball/dp/B001E6L9XQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=racquet-sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1463611831&sr=1-5&keywords=ektelon+balls) tend to be the preferred tournament balls depending on where you live, but that might not matter to you).

As others have said, a cheap pair of safety glasses is a must, and decent ones simply aren't that expensive (http://www.amazon.com/Ektelon-Mirage-II-Racquetball-Eyewear/dp/B000ETVJSE/ref=sr_1_3?s=racquet-sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1463611766&sr=1-3&keywords=racquetball+glasses).

Then I'd experiment with either aspirin/advil, adjusting my grip to lower the thumb and if those don't work, a larger or smaller racket handle. Maybe even changing your actual grip may help. I never use stock grip tape, but always use an after-market like this.

Happy Birthday!!!

All 20-somethings should have found a hobby/activity they discover on their own or with a friend that they really enjoy, and they should do it often. For example, pick up indoor rock climbing or racketball, and play once a month! To play racketball, you'll need these balls: http://www.amazon.com/Penn-Ultra-Blue-Racquetball-3-Cn/dp/B002LGF9L6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1375539649&sr=8-2&keywords=racquetball

Thanks for the contest! I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your 20's, and may your 30's be blessed withgood friends, better food, and perky breasts. ♥

This is what I'm currently using and I like it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IA8YKG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It’s this one. Works great for racquetball. Ok for throwing discs.
