The understanding of the Straight Line Principle and mapping out angles for different shots is enhanced with mental visual maps. This way, you are able to practice your shot even when you are not on the court physically.

You could practice while riding a bus, sitting at your desk at work or ignoring your spouse during a heated argument. Thus, you are improving your racquetball game 24/7/365 on and off the court! What a terrific concept!

During a rally, your mental visual map and mental frontwall and sidewall targets allow you to just focus on two moving objects on the court: your opponent and the speeding ball.

This will give you a tremendous edge over an opponent who needs to track their wall's targets, you, and the speeding ball.

The old adage of Patricia Matzke (Club Pro) rings true here: The walls do not move.

You do not need to look at them because they are the only constants in racquetball. If you look at the walls while hitting your shot during a rally melee, the only constant will become your loss of the rally again and again.

So, go work out your mental racquetball maps, understand the Straight Line Principles, and learn the angles. Understanding of these concepts will lead you down the path to winning racquetball.
