Racquetball : Skills, Drills and Strategies
Millions of Americans play racquetball, yet
instructional material is scarce. This guide, written by a veteran
instructor (Turner) and a ranked professional (Clouse) provides
tips for both the seasoned recreational player and the novice. They
examine everything from equipment to match strategy in straightforward,
conversational language augmented by more than 140 photos and line
drawings. Readers will learn how to select a racquet and a facility;
how to condition themselves specifically for the sport; and how
to avoid the most common types of injuries. There are also excellent
tips for doubles play, mental conditioning, and gamesmanship. In
addition, the authors break the game down into offensive and defensive
skills, an approach often overlooked in racquet-sport instructionals.
A key feature is the inclusion of drills to develop the recommended
shots and strategies. Too often players just play, forgetting that
even a minimal amount of time devoted to skill development can pay
huge dividends. In areas where the sport is popular, this is the
instructional of choice.

From Adam Karp - pro doubles and singles world champion
Alex,
After looking it over briefly, I think the page has some good information
and could help beginners get a basic understanding of doubles. The one
thing
I noticed was the recommendation to hit the “Around-the-world”
ball when
your opponent is in front of them. I’d rather see someone hit some
kind of
pass if their opponents are in front of them. If they don’t have
the chance
to take a full swing and hit an effective pass, I’d rather see them
hit a
normal ceiling ball than an “Around-the-world” ball.
That’s my take on it…I’m just not a fan of the “Around-the-world”
ball.
It’s AWESOME that you have a page like that on the internet. I think
it can
help a great deal.
See you on the courts,
Adam
