The O3 Red boasts O3 technology giving a lightning fast swing speed and ultra light manoeuvrability. With a 54% larger sweet spot the O3 Red is Ektelon’s most powerful racket ever!

The O3 Red has all the latest technologies and incorporates:

Faster Swing Speed

O-Ports reduce aerodynamic drag creating a fast and manoeuvrable frame with a lightweight feel for accelerating swing speeds enabling players to reach more shots and rip more winners than ever before.

Sweet Zone Power

Ektelon replaced traditional pin-sized string holes with revolutionary giant O-ports, providing total string freedom for a livelier response across the entire string bed. This increases the sweet spot by an amazing 54% creating a Sweet Zone, which means ultimate power on every shot!

Greater Strength and Stability

O3 rackets are created through a one step fusion process that utilises the strongest structure known to man, the Arch, creating the frames O-ports. These O-ports strengthen and stabilise the frame for increased control while reducing torque and arm injuries typically caused by rackets that are too light.

Power Ring 8

The evolution of Power Ring continues with Power Ring 8. By developing a throat area with 8 Power Rings, each maing string wrapd around its own independant Power Ring. This allows maximum string resiliency, ultimate shot control and re-stringing is a breeze!

Air+ Comfort

The Air+ Comfort handle features four air filled quadrants that move independently for more shock absobtion and grip ventilation. The red cross dampener quiets frame vibrations for more comfort

UK-Racketball Ektelon O3 Red Racket Review

This was the racket used by Peter Nicol, (10 years British Squash number one and World Squash number one for 60 consecutive months) for the National Racketball Championships in 2010.

Ektelon are the racketball rackets producer for Prince and this is one of the top rackets in their latest range. Ektelon are seen as one of the leading racketball racket make’s in America and are renowned for making high quality rackets. This is one of the most popular rackets that we sell on the UK-Racketball Racket Shop.

The O3 Red has a huge amount of power whilst still maintaining an exceptional level of control. I could play all my shot powerfully with both precision and consistency.

I found it to be really solid on the volley, which is where many racketball rackets fall down due to the heavier racketball ball. The firm frame and weight of the O3 Red meant that this critical characteristic for many racketball rackets is not an issue here. I felt like this racket was one of the hardest hitters on the market.
The rackets only downside is that it is a little too stiff for control making touch shots more difficult.

This is one of my most favourite rackets mainly because it is so great on the volley, any player who likes to get on the volley and dominate the T will love this racket.
