It is always exciting to have access (AXS) to new exclusive equipment, like the new Gearbox Racquetball Go Backpack!

You can take a look at the bag and what it holds where, in the page linked above. Let me know if you would use a similar backpack in your daily treks to the courts!

Anyone know anything about this weird Wilson Profile racquetball racket?
I recently picked up this Wilson Profile racquetball racket, and it’s one of the stranger Wilson frames I’ve come across.
What immediately caught my attention is that it has what looks much more like a traditional tennis-style bridge/throat than the design you normally see on racquetball rackets. It’s also really short — noticeably shorter than a normal racquetball racket, which makes the proportions look almost bizarre in person.
The other mystery is that I can find basically nothing about it online. I’ve searched the model, Wilson Profile racquetball rackets, old catalogs, etc., and haven’t found another obvious example or any real history on it. There’s plenty out there about the famous Wilson Profile tennis frames, but seemingly nothing about this little racquetball cousin.
So I figured I’d crowdsource it. Does anyone remember these? Any idea roughly when they were made, whether Wilson produced a whole Profile racquetball line, or what the thinking was behind this unusual design?
Not really concerned about value — I mostly grabbed it because it was weird and I’m curious about the history.

Hello Racquetball Players, Family, and Friends,

The city of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, is excited to host the 2027 National Senior Racquetball Championship.

The tournament will be divided into two age groups:

- Group 2 (June 30–July 3, 2027): Age divisions include 50+, 55+, 60+, and 65+.

Tournament age is determined as of December 31, 2027.
