Essential Racquetball Gear
-
Racquet: This is the most important piece of equipment in racquetball. They're typically made from materials like graphite or aluminum, and their weight can vary, typically between 150 to 185 grams. For newer players, lighter racquets are recommended!
-
Balls: Official racquetballs come in colours like blue, green, purple, black or pink. Each ball typically has different properties to provide various speeds and shorter bounces.
-
Gloves: Gloves offer better grip and prevent blisters. Customizing your gloves adds an even more personal touch to your gear. If you'd like to design your own, contact us here to get started!
-
Eyewear: Safety glasses are essential to protect your eyes from possible injury.
-
Shoes: Special shoes designed for indoor courts help provide good traction.
Choosing The Right Racquet
When it comes to selecting a racquet, consider these factors:
- Weight: Lighter racquets offer more maneuverability but require more swing effort; heavier ones provide more power but can be harder to control.
- Balance: A head-heavy balance provides more power while head-light balance gives better control.
- Grip size: Your racquet should comfortably fit in your hand without causing strain.
Similar to the ball you use, what type of racquet works best for you may differ depending on your skill level.
Choosing The Right Racquetball Jersey For Maximum Performance
The right jersey can significantly enhance your performance:
- Material: Opt for jerseys made from moisture-wicking material to keep you dry during intense games.
- Style & Design: For a fun and unique sport like racquetball, most players prefer designs that are bold and colourful. Consider full sublimation jerseys for your team to allow full customization without limits!
- Fit: A well-fitted jersey allows unrestricted movement and doesn't interfere with your gameplay. If your team is planning to create custom jerseys with TeamGear, be sure to check out our size chart below:

Other Considerations
- Protective Gear: Knee pads and elbow pads can be useful for aggressive players who dive often, or beginners.
- String Tension & Type in Racquets: Higher tension offers more control while lower tension provides more power. Synthetic strings are durable and offer good playability.
- Maintenance: Regularly check your equipment for any signs of wear and tear - especially your racquet and balls!
