Customer Reviews

As far as you can go on paper.

This book, "Racquetball" by P.E. Allsen, is part of the Sport and Fitness Series of Brown & Benchmark Publishers. As with other books in the series, it pretty much covers everything you want to know about the sport. It covers history, rules, procedures, strategies, etc. There are monochrome pictures of how to stand and move. Along with this are several diagrams of angles best suited for different types of serves. The book covers the rules of different groups and how to score. A very important but overlooked part of the sport is warm-up and stretching exercises. They are also covered in this book. The only things missing from the book are the strength and endurance drills that do not use the ball itself. There is so much information in this 116-page book that it can make your racquet spin. This book is a must if you are even halfway serious.
