E-Force Takeover Racquetball Racquet 175 Grams (3 5/8" Small)

The E-Force Takeover 175 is a premium, high-performance racquetball racquet that delivers an elite blend of crushing power, dampened ball control, and forgiving structural stability. Part of E-Force's flagship technical tier, the Takeover is defined by its extensive multi-laminate graphite design and ultra-rigid GC Power Fibers.

Weighing in at a highly versatile unstrung 175 grams and paired with E-Force's narrow, precision-focused Grip 3 5/8" (Small / Super Small), this Quadraform frame provides the perfect amount of built-in structural mass to plow through deep-court drives while remaining agile enough for rapid reflex exchanges.

Key Technologies & Features

1. GC Power Fiber Construction: Precision-engineered, high-modulus, ultra-stiff carbon fibers are strategically layered into the frame’s complex 50-plus piece graphite layout. This maximizes structural stiffness, effectively eliminating energy loss or frame flex on impact to launch the ball with incredible velocity.
2. Extreme 22” LongString Tech: The definitive centerpiece of E-Force power. All 14 main strings travel completely unobstructed through the throat and down to the absolute base of the hollow handle. This extended free-space layout allows the entire string bed to deflect deeply like a trampoline, storing and unleashing massive kinetic energy.
3. Powerhouse Shaft: A specialized hollowed-out shaft architecture built to clear the pathways for the 22-inch long main strings. By concentrating structural frame mass closer to the hitting zone, it amplifies swing leverage and creates an explosive snap-back on drives and serves.
4. Launch Pad Technology: Minimizes cross-string crowding and tension distortion near the lower throat. By leveling out the lower hitting plane, it ensures a highly uniform string deflection, flattening and extending the sweet spot across the entire 22-inch frame length.
5. Dual Cylinder Frame & Graphite Bridge: Rather than using a standard single wide tube, the frame relies on two parallel graphite cylinders joined by a thin graphite bridge at the outer edge. This architecture drastically reduces torsional frame twist, optimizing energy transfer straight forward.
6. Hi Compression Wing: An aerodynamic frame profile featuring thin outer walls paired with heavy-duty, thick internal tube walls. This lets the 175g frame slice through the air cleanly for faster swing execution while retaining exceptional frame durability.
7. Zero Richter Tubes X2: To absorb the heavy shock waves generated by a rigid 175g power frame, each of the 14 main strings is encased in 9.5 inches of flexible dampening tubes hidden within the handle. This isolates over 10 feet of harsh feedback from reaching your arm, preserving touch and protecting your elbow.
8. Power Boosters G2: Placed securely on both ends of 11 cross strings, 32 inches of large-diameter booster tubes steady the frame's outer margins. This keeps the string bed rock-solid on off-center hits and prevents erratic ball spray.
9. ByPass Stringing System: Main strings skip two holes before re-entering the hitting bed, meaning consecutive string segments never touch. This spreads out impact shock, provides a livelier rebound, and vastly cuts down on string friction breakage.
10. Total Carbon Head: Replaces non-structural dead weight at the racquet tip (like thick paint or plastic bumpers) with pure carbon-graphite. This maximizes tip stiffness, reduces frame distortion during wall scrapes, and balances the swing weight.

Court Performance Profile

1. Power: Massive and Effortless. The 175g structural frame weight combines perfectly with the deep-deflecting 22-inch main strings and rigid GC Power Fibers. You do not need a perfect, hyper-extended swing to hit heavy down-the-line passes, deep ceiling balls, or crushing splats.
2. Maneuverability: Solid and Stable. Sitting in the highly popular "medium weight" category with an even balance and a slim 3 5/8" grip, it feels exceptionally steady in the hand. It cuts smoothly through rallies, providing incredible stability when blocking high-velocity shots.
3. Feel & Comfort: Firm, Precise, and Highly Dampened. The Takeover 175 provides a very solid, crisp, and predictable response on contact. While it is engineered to be a rigid, zero-flex power frame, the internal Richter tube system completely cleans up arm-killing vibrations, offering a comfortable hitting experience over long tournament sessions.
