Search Now: Winning 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. Home

Threading the safety cord through the handle 

Subject: Re: help threading safety cord through handle Date: Wed, 29 Sep 1999 08:35:20 GMT From: Newsgroups: alt.sport.racquetball. GW: I wrap some of the wide clear package tape around the end. This covers about 3-4 inches of the cord and extends maybe 6-8 inches past the end of the cord. You end up with a long, thin tube of tape. I fold back about 1 inch of the tape at the end so that when I pass it past the post it pops out and I have something to pull on with some needlenose pliers. I use this technigue on the E-Force line with hollowed out handles but you may not need to fold any tape back for the T22. Once you get a good hold of that tape it slides easily through with the cord. 

guesswhat 

Tie fish line to it, thread the fish line through pulling the cord with it, then cut the fish off. Works every time... Bob

Newsgroups: alt.sport.racquetball References: 1 Alex, Assuming I know the type of cord you are talking about, try taking a large paper clip and making it as straight as possible. The use it to push the cord thru on the one side and pull it back up on the other. Works for me.

Some people use paper clips. Anything that has a point that you can push it under the bar and then pull should work. Takes about 2 seconds. Jerry Bryant
