Anyone who has ever played a game of racquetball or squash knows that the toll of a hard fought game on the hands is great. Of the most common injuries experienced by racquetball players, wear and tear on a players dominant hand is the most immediately noticeable. Callouses, blisters and discomfort from racket vibration lead to hand fatigue. Hand fatigue contributes negatively to play as it prevents the player from maintaining an optimal grip on the racket handle.

Many racquetball injuries are cumulative, difficult to completely prevent, and to an extent expected. However, most hand injuries can be avoided by simply donning a pair of squash gloves or racquetball gloves. Racquetball outfitters like Ektelon, Wilson, and Eforce, carry an extensive line of racquetball gloves.

Eforce racquetball gloves are best known for their moisture minimizing innovations.

The list prices for these racquetball gloves are available from as low as $11.99 to as high as $34.99 for top of the line models.

Wilson racquetball gloves have picked up where many racquetball outfitters have dropped off.

Racquetball gloves from Wilson are available from $7.99 to $19.99.
