If you've never played racquetball before, you might want to buy some of the cheapest equipment you can get by with. In fact, if you know of someone else who plays, you might want to borrow or purchase some of their used equipment before investing in expensive equipment that you may or may not use again.
What you need:
Racquetball Shoes
Racquet: Racquets vary in price from under .00 to over 0.00 or more. If you have never played before, probably any old racquet will do temporarily. If you continue to play, go to a sporting goods store and talk to their professionals about the proper weight racquet for you. If you have any type of shoulder or rotator cuff problems, choose the lighter weight racquets. On the other hand, if you are in top physical shape and have good upper body and arm musculature and strength, then opt for a heavier racquet. The weight will also make a difference in the power that you are able to put behind the ball. Goggles: Goggles are highly recommended. Racquetballs are fairly small but are made of extremely hard rubber. Getting knocked in the eye with one of those can cause substantial damage. If you sweat a lot, you might want to invest in vented goggles so that they don't steam up and limit your visibility. Running Shoes: They sell racquetball shoes, but the price will be higher when buying specialty shoes, regardless of the quality. What you really need is a good pair of running shoes or cross trainers with a good amount of support. One of the most common racquetball injuries is sprained ankles, so you want shoes that will protect that area. Good shoes are a good investment. Poor quality shoes can leave you in excruciating post-game pain. Racquetball Glove: Many people don't wear one, but people that do wouldn't have it any other way. Racquetball gloves are used for protection against sweat. Being a very active sport, running around a racquetball court will work up a sweat on just about anyone. The glove on your racquet hand gives you more control and prevents you from missing a shot due to sweaty palms or the racquet slipping out of your hand and flying into your opponents face. Sweat Headband: If you've never played racquetball, you will most likely find that the sweat will pour if you are putting your all into the game. Sweat is salty and stings like crazy when it gets in your eyes, making it impossible to continue playing. This is a 'must-have' and I would recommend having more than one on hand at all times. Wrist Sweat Band: You can use this instead of, or in addition to, the headband. Place this on the wrist opposite your racquet hand in order to wipe sweat off your forehead, chin, neck, chest or arms. You can even do this while in the middle of play, so they come in really handy. Racquetball balls: These balls are color-coded according to speed. They come in blue, green, purple, red and black with the red balls being the fastest and the black balls the slowest. Most amateurs play with blue or green balls while beginners will often start with black. State sanctioned events normally use the blue or green while the International Pro Racquetball Tour will only use the purple balls.

Racquetball is not for everyone, so don't invest heavily in equipment until you know for sure that this is a sport you'll stick with. Used equipment for resale, regardless of the quality and condition will bring nowhere near what you spend on it. Most of all...enjoy!
