E-Force Xcelerator 160 Racquetball Racquet

The E-Force Xcelerator 160 is an ultra-lightweight, high-performance racquetball racquet designed for maximum swing speed and elite-level maneuverability. Utilizing the exact same premium, 50-plus piece modular graphite construction and power-focused architecture as the 175, this version drops the unstrung weight to 160 grams. It is engineered for aggressive players who want blistering head speed, lightning-fast defensive reactions, and explosive whip.

Here is the complete breakdown of its technical specifications, signature technologies, and court performance profile.

Key Technologies & Features

1. Continuous Power & Control 5-Zone Hitting Area: Transforms the entire Xcelerator frame layout into a relentless offensive hitting zone, maximizing power generation even on shots hit closer to the outer rim.
2. Extreme 22” LongString & Extreme LongString Tech: All 14 main strings run entirely in free space from the very top of the head down through the hollow handle. Because the strings do not anchor halfway down the frame, the entire string bed deflects deeply upon impact, storing and releasing massive elastic energy (much like a bow and arrow).
3. Launch Pad Technology: Eliminates throat-area cross string distortion. By flattening out the string-bed deflection across the lower half of the head, energy is distributed proportionately across the full 22 inches of the hitting plane.
4. Hi-Flex Power House Throat & Shaft: Combines a hollow shaft structure with a highly flexible throat. This allows the frame to "snap-back" during your swing mechanism, amplifying raw whip and leverage without shortening the main strings.
5. Dual Cylinder Frame with High Compression Wing: Features two individual graphite cylinders reinforced by an ultra-thin outer bridge. This reduces racquet twist on high-velocity impact. Coupled with aerodynamic, thin-walled frame tubing, it cuts through the air cleanly for faster swing execution.
6. ByPass Stringing System: Main strings skip two holes before re-entering the frame, ensuring that the ball never strikes two directly connected segments. This reduces string friction, extends string longevity, and keeps the bed feeling lively.
7. Total Carbon Head: Swaps out non-structural weight (like plastic bumpers and thick paint layers) at the racquet tip for pure structural graphite. This maximizes head stiffness, driving more energy directly forward into the ball.

Zero Richter Tubes X2 & G2 Power Boosters:

• To offset the vibration of an ultra-light, hyper-fast frame, each of the 14 main strings is encased in 9.5 inches of flexible Richter Tubes inside the handle (totaling over 10 feet of dampening material) to smooth out harsh shock.
• 32 inches of G2 Booster Tubes steady the perimeter on 11 critical cross strings to clean up off-center hits.

Court Performance Profile

1. Power: High (Velocity-Driven). While it doesn't possess the built-in frame mass of the heavier 175g or 190g models, it generates immense pace through pure racquet head speed. Players with fast, clean mechanics can produce devastating rollout power.
2. Maneuverability: Maximum. At 160g unstrung with an even balance, this racquet excels at quick-reaction play. It is incredibly nimble in the front court, allowing you to flick your wrist for execution on lightning-fast defensive gets, backhand stabs, and ceiling balls.
3. Feel & Comfort: Crisp yet highly absorbed. The immense string deflection provides great feedback on ball placement, while the extensive internal Richter Tubes keep harmful, fatiguing vibrations entirely away from your elbow and wrist.
