E-Force FighterX 170 Racquetball Racquet

The E-Force FighterX 170 sits in the highly sought-after "light-medium" weight class of the FighterX lineup. It is engineered specifically for players who want a racquet that feels exceptionally quick and fast-swinging in the front court, but still provides enough built-in structural frame mass to drive through the ball effortlessly.

Built with E-Force's signature ultra-rigid GC Power Fiber graphite, the FighterX 170 focuses on minimizing frame twist and maximizing absolute energy return.

Key Technologies & Features

1. GC Power Fiber Construction: This premium carbon-graphite blend is layered into the frame's 50-plus individual laminate pieces. By drastically increasing overall stiffness, it reduces frame distortion when making contact with high-velocity balls, ensuring your swing energy translates into pure ball speed.
2. Extreme 22” LongString Tech: The definitive hallmark of E-Force power. All 14 main strings pass unobstructed through the throat area and anchor at the base of the hollow handle. This creates an incredibly long string bed that deflects deeply like a trampoline, storing and releasing massive elastic energy.
3. PowerHouse Shaft: A specialized, hollowed-out shaft structure that clears the pathway for the 22-inch main strings while strategically positioning structural weight closer to the hitting zone for enhanced swing leverage.
4. Launch Pad Technology: Eliminates cross-string crowding and tension distortion near the throat area. By evening out the lower string plane, it flattens and extends the sweet spot across the entire 22-inch length of the head.
5. Dual Cylinder Frame & High Compression Wing: The frame utilizes two parallel graphite cylinders joined by an outer bridge. This architecture eliminates torsional twisting on off-center hits. The aerodynamic "High Compression Wing" profile allows the 170g frame to slice cleanly through the air.
6. Total Carbon Head: Removes dead weight at the tip of the racquet (such as thick cosmetic paint or heavy plastic bumpers) and replaces it with pure structural graphite. This maximizes tip rigidity for wall scrapes while keeping the swing weight agile.
7. ByPass Stringing System: Main strings skip two holes before re-entering the frame, meaning consecutive string segments never touch. This drastically cuts down on string friction, offering a livelier response and significantly extending string life.

Zero Richter Tubes X2 & G2 Power Boosters:

• To absorb the intense vibrations generated by 22-inch main strings, all 14 mains run through 9.5 inches of flexible Richter Tubes hidden within the handle, filtering out harsh shock waves.
• Integrated G2 Power Boosters steady 11 of the cross strings to minimize erratic ball spray on off-center hits.

Court Performance Profile

1. Power: High and Efficient. Thanks to the ultra-stiff GC Power Fibers and the 22-inch main strings, the 170g frame delivers a heavy punch. You can comfortably drive deep-court passes and explosive splats without needing a hyper-extended swing.
2. Maneuverability: Highly Balanced. Splitting the difference between the hyper-fast 160g and the heavy-plow 175g models, the 170g weight feels exceptionally nimble. It is highly responsive for front-court reflex volleys and quick, defensive wrist flicks out of the corners.
3. Feel & Comfort: Crisp, Solid, and Stable. The FighterX 170 offers a very direct and uniform feedback loop on contact. The internal Richter Tubes successfully clean up arm-fatiguing vibrations, but the overall hitting sensation remains intentionally firm, sharp, and precise.
