UK-Racketball Wilson RX 170 Racket Review

The RX 170 is the top of the range racketball racket from one of the first manufactures to become involved in racketball, Wilson. It looks great and feels very nice to hold with a good weighting. It hits a very solid and firm ball in general, but is not the best on the volley. It is very powerful but can vibrate sometimes when trying to hit very high power shots.

In the racket test I tried to fire in my drops and volley drops quickly and it took the ball in to the front very well, however trying to float a drop in proved more difficult. Counter drops are always tricky in racketball and unfortunately this racket is unlikely to help with those slower balls.

The RX 170 strengths lie in playing outstanding straight and cross court kills which I found to be particularly effective.

If you rely on counter attacking at the front of the court this racket is not for you but if you like to attack to the front with pace or counter attack from the back then this racket will work very well.
