September 14, 2012 Hitting Experience with the New 2013 EForce INVASION (Final Product) Racquetball Racquet

I have had the opportunity to hit with the new E-Force Invasion in its final form and not a prototype.  I can only comment on the Quadraform  head shape because that was the only final product I was given to hit with.  I am sure the Tri-Tear headshape will pretty much be consistent with what I report here because of my conversations with EF about how the racquets will be weighted.  I use the Heatseeker 2.0 160 which I will use to compare it to the Invasion 160 in this review.  I also had about 25 players of all different levels and who used different brands of racquets hit with the Invasion so I can also provide you with their consensus.

In my previous posts, I mentioned the cosmetics are eye catching and there is no change in my opinion.  The group of players who hit with the racquet totally agreed and loved the carbon fibre accents on the red/white color scheme.

I asked EForce about whether the Invasion will have a different feel in terms of weighting in the head, middle, lower compared to the Heatseeker 2.0 and was told it will be pretty similar.  What I did notice was that it was close but felt it was more center balanced but not much.  Some players felt that the Heatseeker 2.0 Quadraform was  a little to head heavy and you will be happy with the Invasion.  It felt great just gripping it.

I hit with the Invasion Quad as delivered and did not re-string, just out of the box.  As a personal preference, I like my strings with medium tension around 34 lbs. but with the new Invasion, I did not even feel the need to re-string the racquet because it felt incredible!  I described my hitting experience with a prototype 170 Tri-Tear as "SWEET"  and hitting with this final product Quad 160 has not changed my opinion!  It is the "sweetest" racquet you will ever hit with!  Extra power and extra control will be realized with this racquet!    I can only describe my experience but I am absolutely sure you will agree with me when you hit with the Invasion.

The general consensus of the 25+ players called their hitting experience as "SOLID, POWER AND CONTROL, ABSOLUTELY NO VIBRATION, BEAUTIFUL, TOTALLY IMPRESSED, . . ."  I could go on and on about their positive feedback.  Some wanted to by this racquet on the spot!

You will definitely do not want to miss hitting with the Invasion because it will elevate your game no matter what level you are!  Hope you enjoyed the review and please post your comments and questions!

IMPRESSIONS ON HOW THE NEW 2013 EFORCE INVASION HITS!

I had the opportunity to hit with an Invasion prototype.   I can only give you my "opinion" on what I experienced hitting with the prototype since I don't have the final product to hit with.  Since the Invasions will be available soon, I just wanted to give you a sneek peek before the launch of the Invasion!  The new cosmetics on the racquet is absolutely stunning and it will be noticed by everyone!  The red and white with carbon fiber accents is beyond describing and better to be experienced!  To put it mildly, you will feel  like you beat your opponent before you step on the court by just holding the racquet!  Now, is that awe inspiring?

Getting back to how the Invasion feels and hit . . . all I can say is "WOW"!  I am not just saying this because I have been playing racquetball for 30+ years and played with all the different brands with all the latest bells and whistles! I have never really felt like I "loved" any one brand or model until I switched to E-Force. It all started with the original "Lethal series" and progressed to the Heatseeker series that we have today.  I am not the only one that keeps saying, "I don't think E-Force can top this model" and every year, I am proven wrong!  I absolutely love my Heatseeker 2.0  but hitting with the Invasion put a big smile on my face!  Somehow, these "power boosters" that were added and extends down the frame  and frame tweeks made the racquet hit effortlessly!  Every hit felt like a solid sweet spot hit!  Power and control is at your disposal in any situation!  Because the racquet hits so sweet, there is no noticeable vibration at all!  I can short hop and take shots on the fly without the racquet failing or twisting for a poor shot!  The New 2013 EForce Invasion can be summed up in one word - "SWEET!"
