Excellent find, great racket and bang for the buck. Underrated indeed!
By D. Ciomek
I have been playing an old "Unsquashable" Y-Racket (180g) for the last 10+ years, needed new strings again and thought maybe it was time to get something new. I don't like paying in excess of $150 for a racket and was looking for something good on sale for around $100. I fell for their slogan (the most undervalued racket) and thought why not get a new racket instead of just new strings.The Bandit 2 is fairly cheap and light (140g frame) and has a standard teardrop shape. Great find! I played the bandit 2 with factory strings about 40/50 games now and love it. Actually just ordered another identical one elsewhere with Technifibre strings as it seems to get harder to find. I think I will stick with this for a while. Good control, great power. Light racket. Feels slightly head heavy which will give you extra power when needed. I needed to enhance the grip a full size but now it fits perfect. Great for intermediate/advanced players. This is excellent value for the money!!- - -Update June 2012: still loving it. Got the second racket and playing them with the better non-factory strings (Tecnifibre 305 17g) and wonder if I should get a third racket for the future. I am around 3.5-4.0 level. Racket can take quite some beating on the wall. I have seen this racket now pop up here and there at the club as well.

Very Good Racquet at an Excellent Price
By Racquetball Tim
I'm an intermediate player (4.0 - 4.5). I bought this racquet because I've always been impressed with the Black Knight racquets I've hit with in the past.The racquet feels very stiff, which is a good thing. It feels like it does most of the work for me, even on mis-hits and off-center hits. Very good overall feel.It's amazing that at just 140 grams a racquet can generate this much power. It almost feels unfair. :)Love the grip, although if you really like to choke up on the racquet I suggest buying another over-wrap to put on the upper portion of the grip. I didn't have any problems with my standard grip, but I know some players really like to choke up on certain shots. Something to consider.Very sleek looking stick and I have no complaints whatsoever. I've hit with 200 dollar racquets that weren't this good.

Superb for digging out of corners
By larsd4
I swapped my Dunlop which cost twice the price with my son's Bandit II, after finding the head weight perfect for back corner retrieves. This thing is unbreakable. I play everyday and have replaced the grips and strings several times due to wear. The frame is fantastic. I bought two more as backups. I'm a 3.0 player, so keep that in mind.
