Okay so who plays racquetball?

How much did you spend on your gear, and what do you use?

By gear I assume you mean racquet and eyeguard. I just went to my local sporting goods store. Spent about ~$100 on the racquet and a few dollars on an eye guard.

I play 2 leagues / week for a total of about 5 hours / week,

I use a e-force Dagger as a primary racquet

I paid about 130.

My other racquet is a ektelon something or other that ran about 100 new.

Basically I'd recommend something mid range plus a good glove and dry wicking shirt

Yes I meant racquet, eyegaurd, gloves, and/or anything else you got for it.

I play about 4 times a week, though i just started (only been playing for about a month). My buddy and i decided to just get into it.

At a Play It Again Sports near us they sold (new) kits...it comes with a racquet, 2 balls and platic eyewear. The set was $25. We have a lot of fun.

I used to play all the time... I'm stubborn and only wore the eye guard for class. I need glasses, so it makes my vision even worse. I had one incident where it stretched... the ball tipped my racquet and hit the wall straight back into my eye. That hurt. I still continued to play without it tho, heh. I have not played in a long time, but I will have to find my eyewear.. but I didn't spend too much, just whatever was at sports authority.

racquet was i think $60. Now that my office has moved next to the RB courts... I will be playing more likely, heh
