Game plan ??
Having a game plan can not be stressed enough in this
super fast game of racquetball. When you pit two equally opponents
together, you will find that the player with a game plan has more
consistent wins. Having a game plan means preparation in advance of the
match to scout out your opponent’s likes and dislikes and his strength
and weaknesses.
For example:
When McClayson played tall lanky Joel
Warrior on 10/01/03, his game plan was based on his previous encounters
with the irrepressible JW. McClayson discovered that the last five games
he played with JW, JW was hitting tons of winners on his backhand side,
so MM’s game plan was based on hitting more serves to JW’s forehand and
take advantage of the entire court, JW forehand, and JW’s grip switching
time delay.
The result:
A straight games match victory for MM against a
solid racquetballer of JW’s caliber. JW had a tentative game plan of
what he calls, "You Deal With It!" A catchy JW’s game plan, where he
will rip angled serves and let McClayson deal with the velocity and
angles while JW covers confidently in center court. It almost worked for
JW as he got to 11-15 in game 2 in their best out of five games series.
JW also scored 5 angled Z-service aces in the entire match, which is
four better than their last match statistics.
