Racquetball Strategy: Doubles I-Formation

Video Transcript

"We're talking about some court positioning when playing doubles. A lot of people play, I'd say most people play side to side. So we got the guy that's on the right, playing over here forehand side. Then the guy on the left, hitting backhand, will be playing side to side. So both players playing side to side. I personally like to play I formation when I'm playing doubles. So that means my partner is always playing in back of me and I'm always playing front. So everything that happens up front, I'm getting. I'm swinging here, I'm retrieving up front. My partner is in the back court, so all the ceiling balls and all the passes, and everything that happens back there, that means he's hitting. We call this the I formation. So, I'm here, my partner's there, very aggressive and it's very, very efficient to play this way because I feel like we've got the entire court covered this way. He's shooting aggressively back there, I'm getting everything up here, therefore we're in a position to take care of every shot. You'll have to hit a perfect kill shot in order to beat us when we're playing I formation."
