I don't know a whole lot about this racketball racket other than I've had it for over 30 years. Used it in the early '80's but since then its been hanging in my basement. Still in great shape. Strings are tight. Grip is not unraveling. I weighed the racket without the case and it weighs 8.5 ounces. I looked that up and it said this is considered "Lightweight - 8-9.5 oz - High Power". Case is in great shape outside and clean inside. Zipper works. Stitching on both the racket and cover is in great shape as well. Please view all photos carefully; I try to photograph all possible angles and flaws.
