How to Replace the Wrist Cord in a Racquetball Racquet

Racquetball is a high-intensity sport requiring agility and sharp reflexes played in an enclosed court. In a racquetball game, all sides of the court are playable surfaces, including the walls, ceiling and floor. Racquetball regulations require that players use racquets attached at the wrist via a wrist cord, commonly referred to as a wrist-lacer. Over time a wrist cord can become worn and need replacement. Replacing your wrist cord can be accomplished with little difficulty.
