Tournament Tips & Reminders
1. Drinks lots of water. Bring your own bottled water
to make sure that you are drinking enough water. Because usually when
you are drinking from the drinking fountain, you are only wetting your
lips and throat, and not properly hydrating your body for the strenuous
sport of racquetball.
2. Take all of your timeouts in your match to rest, to
slow down your opponents, to change momentum and to reassess your game
plans.
3. If you are playing a lefty, test out their backhand
with deep drives and Z-serves into the back right corner and see how
they respond and then adjust your game accordingly. Hit more cross court
backhand and feel them out.
4. Take your time on your service, take all 10 seconds
to plan your serve, visualize your serve and tell yourself that you are
in total control and hit a high percentage deep serve that does not come
off the backwall and thus, forces your opponent to shoot from deep
court, with you covering in the center.
5. Take your time on the return, raise your racquet
almost every point to slow down the speedy server, make them play your
pace, not the other way around.
6. Mix up your service.
7. Hit high percentage shots like Pass, Pass, and
Pass.
8. Only pinch when you have a dead setup in the front
court. Never ever re-pinch a pinch, because your opponent is right there
to cover it.
9. Relocate to the coverage box behind the dotted line
and set your feet and Get To Every Ball! The Only Shot that is
irretrievable is the rolled out! Make your Opponent beat you with better
and better shots!
10. Have Fun!
