Review on Head Black Widow Racquetball Racquet by Chris Long

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I really like the Head Liquid Metal 170, but the frame broke.

I really like the Head Liquid Metal 170 but the frame broke after 2 uses and I sent it back. The Black Widow 160 has a sweet spot that gives you power, but after 3 or 4 games the 3rd vertical string is often out of place. I just put it back in, it doesn't matter. Overall the racquet has surprising power and control, is very light and I've really seen an improvement in the game, and the $129 price point is reasonable.

Pros
  • Cross section: 24/22/22.5mm
Cons
  • Not bad but...
