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.

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

[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.

[helianimal]

Thanks. I got more and better ones coming!
