Good Wrist Snap Adds More Pace to Your Shot
Wrist Snap and Head Speed Create an Invisible Racquet. It's There, But the Ball Is Long Gone.
Demo by T.J. Baumbaugh, racquetball pro
Adding good wrist snap right when you hit the ball will add even more pace to your shot. This combination of good shoulder/trunk rotation, good forward weight transfer as you step, and good wrist snap at contact will give your shot plenty of zip.
