Proper Racquetball Grip

A proper racquetball grip is essential to playing racquetball well. Moreover, it is very important to learn how to properly grip a racquetball early on in order to avoid bad habits that may become difficult to break.

Identification

A proper racquetball grip involves holding the racket with your dominant hand in the fashion of a handshake. You should have the racket between your thumb and other fingers, with your hand covering most of the racket. A proper grip is firm, with a small amount of space between the fingers.

Considerations

Racquetball rackets also come with a safety cord. Place the cord around your wrist, right above where you are gripping the racket. Tightly pull the cord in order to prevent the racket from slipping when playing.

Function

A proper grip allows you to control how hard you hit the ball. A proper grip also allows you to easily rotate between forehand and backhand swings.
