The racquet’s weight is usually given in ounces. Generally speaking, a light racquet will be more maneuverable; a heavy racquet will be more stable. Beginners should choose a racquet that weighs somewhere between 9.5 and 11 ounces – on the heavier end if you’re strong or relatively athletic.

How long do racquetball racquets last?

On average, depending on how often you go through strings, wear down grommets, and throw your racquet, it can really vary. I’d say between 5-10 years if one takes good care of them, but I’ve also seen people that legitimately wear through the graphite under the bumper guard from digging out slices in under a year.

What are the 3 basic types of serves in racquetball?

There are typically 3 types of serves in racquetball:

• Drive Serve – The drive serve is meant to be hit as low and as hard as possible.
• Lob Serve – The lob serve is a high arching and somewhat slow serve.
• Z Serve – The Z serve utilizes one side wall and reverses the side of the court that the ball is initially hit into.

What if the ball hits you in racquetball?

The player who is hitting the ball must hit the ball before it bounces twice on the ground. The ball may be into any wall and/or the ceiling, as long as the ball reaches the front wall before hitting the ground. If a player hits the other player with the ball, the rally is replayed.

Is a heavier tennis racquet better?

The heavier the racquet, the more power it will offer. Heavy weight tennis racquets (+ 300 grams) help to produce more power behind the ball and can help to maintain control in a faster swing. Heavier racquets are mostly used by Professional, Tour, Advanced players as well as those who wants to generate more power.

How often should I change my racquet?

Unfortunately, there’s no perfect formula for determining how long your frame will last. But assuming you don’t intentionally splinter it, a new racquet should last at least two years before you have to start worrying about performance-affecting fatigue.

Do tennis rackets go bad?

Yes, for a club match, a racket may endure for several years, but it will only wear out for a full-time player in a short time. Some players are harsher on frames, and their rackets wear down quicker. When the rackets are worn out, they may need to be replaced.

What is a good serve in racquetball?

A good serve happens when the ball hits the front wall before anything else, flies over the service zone, and does not hit the back wall before hitting the floor (it’s OK to hit one side wall). If at least one of these things do not occur, it is considered to be a fault serve.
