03/04/07. Super Sunday VRB Exhibition Drive Service Game. Nia’s Arena, Moore Lake LTF. Court 14. 1400-1515.

The journey champ Joel Warrior and Doc MM played a dynamic drive services game, where all serves are required to be drive serves.

VRB fans: No lobs!! No lobs!

JW: Bring it! It’s time that Doc Marcus McClayson sees the hot flickering flames of my missile photon drives!

Doc MM: Hahaha!...and Joel will feels the usual demoralizing feeling of watching my mach speed missile drives right before his eyes and he can’t do anything about it! You see, now do something with it! Hahaha!

VRB Pundits’ predictions: We think that Doc MM’s missile low photon drives are more consistent than big Joel, however, you never know, Joel’s drives could catch a burning fire in this one game match format and torched Doc MM early and often?! We still like Doc MM to win 15-6.

The One Game Drive Serves Only Racquetball Throw Down Battle Royal!....

JW and Doc MM came out with both shot guns going at full blasts with mach speed deep missile passes and flame throwers for low drives for early ties of 2-2 and 3-3. With the score knotted at 2-2, JW unloaded a vicious haymaker howitzer monster Z-drive into the right abyss to take a minute 3-2 lead that took half of the VRB fans’ breath away! Wow! Doc MM went to the left abyss in return error and looked pretty bad as the ball ran parallel to the backwall in the opposite abyss! Ouch! However, the VRB pundits were correct, Doc MM’s drives and passes were more consistent and Doc MM won in the end 15-4, helped out of course when JW skipped two crucial front court setups.

Sidenote: Doc MM’s princess Mei Luu Righty learned some racquetball from the incorrigible Doc MM himself, like court positioning, basic rules and the forehand stroke. Mei showed exceptional capacity to learn the stroke and is an excellent student of the game. Her down the line forehand passes were coming along just dandy!

Suggestion for JW for Tuesdays night’s racquetball for the next two months: Joel, just drive serves on Tuesday nights without caring about the win/loss results and on Thursday nights at St. Louis Park, mixed it up? 50% lobs and 50% drives….
