No it's just a crappy outdoor court in a neighborhood. I wish I had one in my backyard.

Are you snapping your wrist?

[helianimal]

I've changed my backhand quite a bit for the better after this video.. I think I'm putting another on up this weekend. Last month, a 3 day, pro taught racquetball camp help my backhand jump 2-3 levels no joke! You're not suppose to really snap your wrist, like a forehand, through the ball. You don't "roll" your wrist over for power, like in a forehand. Your whole arm kinda snaps like a whip, but your wrist needs to stay loose to pull into the ball at impact. I'm sure there are several ways.

How do you like that racquet....i bought the same one. I know its light but can you hit with power?

[helianimal]

I like it a lot. It's a middle weight racquet, it's not like 175 grams, 155 is light. You can hit hard with a 195 or 155, it's all technique. I changed over from Wilson about 6 months ago. I'm playing much better and hitting a lot harder with Head, but that could just mean the racquet works with me better. I LOVE the new Head 175, Mean Streak.. it's white and black.

That Mean Streak is hot...have you hit with it? When did it come out

[helianimal]

I have a demo one right now from a friend who is sponsored by Head.

Oh, I forgot to comment on this. Too busy chatting with you in PM's. LOL.

Awesome High Definition, and I'm completely jealous. You're the HD master, and I bow to you!

Great swing too. It's coming along nicely, and I can't wait to see the next one.
