Nope. I played racquetball a lot in college, and used a fairly expensive Pro Kennex racquet of some sort, but they're really not the same thing. I suppose you knew that. As I'm serving no purpose here, I'll now shut up and go away.

Ancient Prince racquet.  So old that I believe they didn't yet have more than one model.

I've just never found another racquet that feels as good.

I have 2 (roughly) 10 year old  Dunlop Max Predator  (this was actually the best or 2nd best racquet out then.  way ahead of its time)...   

I just got one of them (in better condition)  restrung with   gamma tnt.2  16g  black strings @ 58#   ... can't wait till april or may to fire it up

Broken net strap?

if it were broken, it would be harder to do, right?  because the strap holds the center of the tape down a few inches...

Sorry, I'm just remembering the courts I used to paly on, where the net cord couldn't be tensioned and we have to prop something under the net where the strap should have been.  (It was usually broken if not gone.)

Played for years, high school and junior college.  Started out with a old Spalding Wood racket and moved up to a Wilson T2000 like Connors used.  In College used a Wilson Sting and then went to the Wilson ProStaff.  I picked up a Wilson Triad a couple of years ago.  My girls love to play around on the court hitting balls but I haven't played seriously in several years.

I used to play.

Head Genesis 660 with whatever $25 strings that didn't break in 3 days.  Used to string it real tight too.  Think I used Prince Synthetic quite a bit then moved onto a teflon coated one that broke less.

Backup was a Dunlop Max 300i.
