RB Technique Myths
The following are 10
racquetball technique myths that I have discovered from playing this great
game for over eight years. This list will continue to be expanded as I
continue to enjoy this excellent game and continue to search for and find
more golden myth nuggets to share with my fellow racquetballers.
#1 Put spins
on ceiling shots
This technique is recommended by many professional athletes.
Adding a little spin to ceiling balls, for instance, will make the ball
comes off the back wall at a steeper and more difficult angle, thus making
it tremendously difficult for your opponent to shoot it aggressively off the
back wall. The downside to spins is that it is not really applicable to
amateur players. Putting spins on a ceiling ball is very tough to do and
also putting spins on a ceiling ball makes it extremely difficult to control
the shot.
#2 Holding the
racquet up early for your drive serve
This technique is excellent if you are a novice to intermediate
player working on your footwork and timing with the ball contact point. On
the other hand, holding the racquet up early impedes your overall
synchronization of your entire drive service motion and can affect the
amount of power you can generate.
The earlier racquet preparation acts like an extra weight
pulling the entire service motion out of rhythm and decreases consistency
and power. The racquet cock must be in sequence with the other drive serve
sequences to make it work like a well-oiled machine. The analogy for this is
turning on the car lights on your car before starting the engine. You can do
it, but it is not in the correct order.
