 The 4 biggest Myths about Racquetball

  • transfer weight forward

You do not transfer weight forward to hit a good shot. You actually should keep some weight back. A 60%-40% ratio is approximate-60% on the back foot and 40% on the front.

  • You have to let the ball drop

No-you don't. Watch top players and you will see the better the player, the larger the offensive area. By flattening out your stroke mechanics and angling the racquet, an athlete can hit the ball from chest to ankle height and kill the ball.

  •  "so and so is a head case. They choke."

Always, there is a reason for inconsistent play. Shot selection, conditioning, lack of strategy are all reasons for poor  lay. It is simply a question of finding the solution to the problem.

  • You have to play better players to get better.

While to some degree this is true, you also have to play poorer players. These players give you a chance to hone your skills, especially your footwork.
