2006 Racquetball Championship
Dave and I finally stopped talking about playing racquetball and actually did it today. This is a good things, because we are both fat.
Dave won Day One, 2-1.
We are both really out of shape.

Raquetball Tips
How Do I Select My Shot?
Ball is chest high or up: ceiling shot
Chest high to thigh high: passing shot
Below thigh high: kill shot
Where’s the Opponent?
Behind you: pinch (hit front then side wall) to the same side as your opponent
Even: passing shot
Front of You: passing or ceiling shot
Not Sure: line shot as close to side wall as you can – weaken the defensive return
What About Angles?
Of supreme importance. Use angles and hit higher on the front wall to eliminate skip balls or unforced errors.
What are Good Offensive Returns?
Kill shots
Passing shots that bounce twice before hitting the back wall
Use passing shots to get in better position for kill shots
Hit passing shots 6†to 24†off the floor
