Racquetball Forehand Drop and Hit Drill - Back View
From Apply Now, former About.com Guide
Raise Your Racquet & Arm, Shift Your Weight Back, & Prepare to Drop the Ball
Release the Racquetball Simply By Letting It Drop. Just Open Your Grip And Let Gravity Work.
Demo by T.J. Baumbaugh, racquetball pro
As you prepare to drop the racquetball to the floor from waist height, shift your weight onto your back foot so that you will be able to more easily transfer it forward when you hit your shot. Begin to rotate your shoulders towards the back wall so that you will be able to rotate your torso into the shot as well. Raise the racquet head and begin to look closely at the ball.
