Raise the Racquet Head, Put Your Front Foot Forward & Wait for the Ball to Drop
There's Plenty of Time to Wind Up As the Racquetball Reaches the Height of Its Bounce
Demo by T.J. Baumbaugh, racquetball pro
As the ball rebounds to its full height, raise your racquet head and extend your front foot forward. Your chest should be facing almost all the way towards the back wall. Use your non-racquet arm for balance as you fully raise your racquet arm. Keep watching the ball.
