Information that is Very Valuable

One has to apply the information that has been read from this book and use it on the racquetball court. The information is very direct, and their is no mystery to it. One of the authors who contributed information on this book [Woody Clouse] emphasizes that one has to practice hitting alot of balls on the court, lift weights, and run sprints in order to get better as a player-Male or Female. International Racquetball commissioner Hank Marcus along with Irt player Jon Ellis give this book a very positive evaluation. The book has many pictures illustrating situations where one has too be hitting the ball away from the player, etc. The book has several chapters that emphasize all the aspects of game-conditioning, nutrition. The book also has several pictures of players who play on the professional tour. Cliff Swain, Andy Roberts, Mike Ray, Drew Kachtik , and Ruben Gonzales are some of the player photographs one will see in this book. I have to say that my play was really very limited and highly primitive. I only knew how to serve the most basic serve in racquetball and that was the drive, and that was the only shot I knew since the beginning. I was very fortunate that when I was playing the game I purchased this book during the time to help improve my play. It has been a couple of months now, and my play is alot better. I can do a Z-serve, a left and right drive serve, and my lob is coming there. I also learned to hit the ball away from my opponent and not to hit the ball to him or her but away from my opponent. Alot of patience is needed, and alot of practicing if one desires to improve. So if your a racquetball player who is from Moscow, Russia, or Tijuana ,Mexico, or from Houston Texas who wants to be more knowledgeable playing the game, I highly recommend this book too you.

Superb. This book taught me a lot about the game!

If you gotta have just one book to win in racquetball-- this is it! My friends (after being frustrated with my newfound techniques) were surprised about my transformation... from a novice player to a real good contender within a month. I plan to join tournaments soon and win. Thanks to this book.

from beginner to advanced

i am a current teaching club pro and after a few lessons, i have suggested to my students that they look at this book for a superb instruction, strategy, and exercises through drills to take their game to another level. this easy to read book is more than worth the price of 13.56 they are selling it for......cheaper than a one hour lesson with me. Well worth the investment.

Every thing you need to know to win!

I loved it, I am a 15 year old playing just a year at "b" level, and I really learned a lot. Many things that I never really thought of. The book brought me some new insights on stratagies. I would really recomend it to any one that wants to improve their game.

A must for any intermediate racquetball player.

This book offers insights into the details of what is required to become a "total" racquetball player. This book offers detailed discussions on practice drills, exercise routines, nutrition, game strategy, shot selection, and solutions to some common problems. All of which are very concise and are very readable. I do not recommend this book to beginners because there is not much discussion on swing technique
