What is the difference between a 160 and 170 gram racquetball racquet?

Answer 1

10 grams... :D I just had to...

the nominal weight difference will only be critical to better players... a general rule is that younger players 30 or below typically swing a lighter 150-170gm stick while older players >30 usually fare better with a slightly weighty racquet. This is due to swing speed decreasing with age, and depending on the person. I would recommend googling some Racquetball merchants and taking advantage of demo programs if you are at a level that you think weight Can make a difference (I actually found out that a heavier racquet is not needed for me this way, I still hit harder with the light ones). Good luck!!!
