Abstract: The present invention is a racquetball racquet that is substantially longer than a conventional 21 inch racquet, but which has a maneuverability comparable to existing racquets, and on overall playability exceeding conventional 21 inch racquetball racquets. More particularly, a racquetball racquet comprises a frame having a head portion, a handle connected to the head portion, and stringing. The head portion is a thin-wall, hollow composite tubular member having a minimum weight per unit length, and has a cross-sectional height between 15 and 28 mm, a cross-sectional width between 9 and 13 mm, and defines an egg shape strung surface having a length of at least 14 inches, and preferably between 14 and 15.5 inches, and a strung surface area greater than 95 square inches, and preferably between 100 and 125 square inches. The racquet has an overall length that is substantially greater than 21.
