You're welcome! Great to hear that the videos have helped.

Thanks, Giovanni! Really appreciate that!

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

Sorry to hear that. Sending best wishes your way!

Just play with your left :P

what about the whip-like motion you're supposed to execute to get the racquethead speed?

@@Fernandez218 you can slightly whip your wrist, just don't overdo it. You can get a good whip-like motion by rotating your hips, stepping into the shot, leading with your elbow, and rotating your upper body and shoulders. Keep your arm extended (but not too far) for both forehand and backhand. Try it, and you'll find that you get great power using more of your body than just the arm. This doesn't mean you never snap your wrist. If you don't have time to set your feet and use your whole body, some wrist snapping can help in a pinch. Just don't rely on your wrist too much, or you'll regret it later. I also hurt my shoulder by not relaxing my arm or leading with the elbow. You need to rely on body movement and mechanics rather than pure arm muscle and wrist snapping. If I execute the technique right, even my torn shoulder doesn't hurt. Proper technique helps your body last longer and gives you power. It's why those skinny pros can hit so hard for so many years. All technique.

Vanna,Check out this video's description for a link to Ben's backhand video.

***** Thanks Racquetball Warehouse. I forgot I've seen that video before. It's really good. My only wish would be to see the same slow motion side profile for the backhand like you did in the forehand video. It really helped me understand weight distribution and his basic footwork. That would also be interesting to see in a couple of different drills. Like hitting balls off the backwall. Thanks for your commitment to the sport. Love the videos

It's cool tbh

Fielding Snow I'm sorry, but you're out of your mind.

Good luck

prolly not at 1st

My dad was a good racquetball player who had played a lot of tennis prior to picking up racquetball. But to your answer your question, competitive tennis may actually make learning racquetball more difficult for you. The strokes/swings are completely different. I tried racquetball a few times, and I sucked - I am a pretty solid tennis player. I use a semi-western forehand, which I believe cannot be used in racquetball. I believe racquetball forehand grip is either continental or eastern. What grip are they telling you to use in racquetball?

+mgpg61, the sweet-spot is in a slightly different place on each racquet model. An easy way to feel where the sweet-spot is on your racquet would be to hold the racquet parallel with the ground and bounce the racquetball on the stringbed about a foot up in the air; try bouncing it in different spots on the stringbed until you feel the perfect spot.

racquetball is all about power so using a glove maximizes your grip. tennis is more nuanced as you're not always trying to kill every ball. that's what I think anyway
