The Future of Racquetball Fitness clubs became trendier during the 1990s. Many fitness clubs have started offering and including racquetball courts in their facilities. Since then, the sport has become more popular. Racquetball was featured in the Olympic Festival in the US. There are talks that racquetball would be cited and included as an Olympic competition or event in the future. Pass shot In racquetball, the pass shot is one very good defensive shot. The reason is simple: Anyone can execute it, whether you are a pro or a beginner. Hit the ball toward the front wall making it come as far away from your opponent as possible. Choose hitting it down the line or cross court . Down the line means hitting the ball parallel to the side wall and making it come straight back between the side wall and you. The receiving player must be ready before service takes place. The server commits a fault serve if he comes off the service box even before the ball passes the short line. A player loses his turn to serve whether it is the first or second when the ball comes into contact with any other surface other than the front wall. The forearm While the wrist is cocked, bend your forearm back until it forms the letter L with the upper arm. Then, swing it in a top-down motion and into a side arm movement like you are skipping a stone over water. Upper arm and shoulders Make your shoulders square, the blades pressed in, pointing your elbows at an imaginary ball in front. Here are the advantages of joining a gym. Conveniences If your gym does not offer racquetball-only memberships, you will have to buy a full membership. Happily, this grants you access to an array of fitness classes, weights and cardio machines. They may even have you use their basketball courts, the sauna and the swimming pool. The fundamental of a backhand involves the arm reaching towards the back wall with the arm slightly bent as if making a bow shape. The elbow should be pointed towards the side wall and away from the body making sure that racquet release is done with the free hand. The weight of the body should be directed to the back portion of your foot.
