Here is a list of racquetball equipment and other things that can help you in your play squash
Racquetball glasses (goggles) Non-optional! Everyone should wear goggles in the field. Do not play with someone who does! The ball will absorb contact, and say that does not fight in the eye. If you are thinking of tournaments, you know that you agreed that you compete in glasses must be approved by the United States wear RacquetballOrganization that sanctions tournaments. All glasses have polycarbonate lenses approved.
The advantages of a polycarbonate lens:
For children because of their incredible strength recommendation.
-The power means that it is incredibly difficult to break.
-Highly resistant to scratches.
Thinner than regular glass or plastic lenses.
Material itself is lighter than glass and plastic .-
In many applications, such as "bullet proof" windows-used because it is so addsgreat flexibility and strength.
It offers UV protection, cut about 99% of these potentially harmful rays of the interior lighting or direct sunlight during outdoor play racquetball.
The differences can be found in polycarbonate glasses racquetball is as easy and as it helps to prevent the mist occurs. All use an anti-fog goggles of some kind to everyone, but not as we want to avoid. Some glasses are ventilation openingsat the jars to avoid the fog
Squash rackets - you have many options here. A low-end aluminum bats, the curve when you hit the walls of high-end performance shoe that will never hold the game is done. All clubs are their own technology, which is comparable to other high-end clubs. You can use a heavier or lighter frame. Their point of equilibrium will be different from one racquet to another.
Some bats are adaptable to suit your game.There are many possibilities in a good racquet for $ 60 and up. More high-end shoes that a manufacturer should include the latest technology, you start at $ 120 to $ 230. Clubs can be found with two different plug sizes.
One thing about the size grip, remember: If you buy a larger socket, you may not be able to enter the size, but you can manage up to gr. E-Force gear and handles are interchangeable, and you can remove the handle when the grip strength increasedtwo.It that have a good idea, two clubs that are the same. If you broke a string or the bat and had to go a completely different racket during the game goes, this could harm your performance.
Their playing style is to use a racket after the game, as many games. Do you want to demo a racquet, to make an informed decision about what you can take to play racquetball. You want one that works for you and your style of play. A demo can be used for a week is a good wayfind out if there's a good racket. If it is a great club, a demo is not available. Call us, we have options to speak with the demo.
Racquetball shoes - not with squash rackets could not play their best. Wear shoes outside and put the same shoes you can play indoor water slide, not even good for the courtyard floor. I have in the courts, has not been adequately maintained and that just might slip. For this reason IPython, like anti-slip posi-trac wear.
I never play racquetball running shoes. Do not enter the lateral support is necessary to play this sport.
A good test to see if you are wearing shoes have good support for Racquetball:
1 If you wear rubber soles?
-This would help to achieve better land.
2 Take the shoes you wear to play racquetball, and keep it with both hands and hold the front with his left hand and backthe shoe with your right hand. Now rotate back and forth. It is the center of bending and twisting? It's not a good sign. This is a clear sign that you do not have good lateral support.
3 In this test, even after the use of two hands. Keep a shoe with both hands. Take the strongest hand and keep the lower back of the shoe above the sole. Now press. It is hard to squeeze? If so, this is a good sign that prevent a shoe you can by rolling the ankle. One ofThe challenges of many people thinking about buying shoes racquetball. The best option is for one of the largest online retailers.
The challenge is to buy a size that suits you. Here's a link to an article that guides you step by step as they are not able to measure your foot from the comfort of your home: http://shoes.about.com/od/fitcomfort/ss/measurefeet.htm
Racquetball Kit - kit it is possible that a racquet, eyewear, balls, water bottles and some will contain. This would be recommended for beginnersTo learn the game. Wilson, Head, transmission and offer the kits Ektelon racquetball. Wilson also offers a racquetball kits for children 2-10 years with the theme Sponge Bob Square Pants Sponge Bob behind with a paddle design, glasses, water bottles, and the ball.
Knobs and extensions - you can go with a slip-on rubber grip or socket head. The handle wrap is more comfortable but less durable. The slip-on grip is stronger and would take a little 'better than. With a Slip-OnRubber grip more than likely, you use a glove as this grip is very difficult to maintain if you start to sweat.
One of the best ways to get the glove is longer and in better shape to wash their hands before playing. This helps get rid of all the oil that is still remaining on the palms.
Racquetball Gloves - The main purpose of a glove is to get a better grip on the handle. There are different types of gloves. Some players are padded for divingprotect the ankle. Some have more to protect leather pad instead of the player dives. Some have a network or downloaded material for quick drying. It 'a tough place to be in, if the racket is to slip in hand. You lose the power and control, if you can not remove the list of bat. We would also recommend that you wash your hands before using the glove compartment. Cleaning your hands would be the oil off of them, that builds throughout the day.
When it comes to stringsStrings may be some things you should think about:
Indicator of rope (16, 17 or 18) -
What is 16 of his three thicker ones. And 'pleasure more durable, but less. This is difficult for the batter to swing fast. The 18 is the most subtle, is more sensitive to the touch, but at least it is stable. Someone looking for more control, which has a slower swing will use a 18-gauge string. A player with a 18g is someone who often does not break the stringis looking for that extra playability. I coach a lot more than I play so an 18g is ideal for me. If I ever want to get out there and play, I am going to be happy with the performance of the string.
Tension is another factor of play you want to think about. Our recommendation is to string your racquet at a 4 lbs. difference from mains to crosses. Your power will come from the mains and your control comes from the crosses of the racquet. Rex Lawler, also known as the String King, has tested all sorts of tension; and he found that the 4-pound difference worked best for racquetball. The range would be anywhere from 28-38 on the mains and 32-40 on the crosses. By raising the crosses 4 pounds you add a bit more control without eliminating any of the power. Everyone has a preference for his or her style of play. It may take a few different string jobs to get a feel for what you like.
Racquetballs - There are different balls you can play with. Some are designated for outdoor racquetball and some are for indoor play. You will find that the outdoor balls are played indoors, but are faster and take some inconsistent bounces.
Ball Options:
ProPenn Balls - Only balls made in the USA
ProPenn HD - Official ball of the Men's Pro Tour and the US Open. Penn high-performance engineers joined forces with the top professional players in the world on the International Racquetball Tour to develop the ultimate racquetball. They came up with a ball that has better visibility, lighter weight, and softer feel as results of this effort. Personally, this is my favorite ball. I notice the lightness and find it easier on my body.
Penn Blue - More people choose the Ultra-blue racquetball for its long, lively, consistent play.
ProPenn Green - The Official Ball of USA Racquetball makes the ProPenn the most widely used ball in tournament play. The bright green color has great on-court visibility and consistent speed, playability, and durability.
ProPenn Ballistic 2.0 - Designed for outdoor racquetball with increased durability, maximum visibility, and ultimate speed. If you play indoors with this ball, be ready for lightning fast play.
Ektelon Classic- Official ball for the National Master Racquetball Association and Classic Pro Tour. It is a slower ball with greater visibility. This is ideal for longer rallies and training workouts.
Ektelon Blue - Popular reliable blue ball for all players offering a softer feel.
Ektelon Fireball- Official ball for the World Outdoor Racquetball Organization. Specially designed to withstand the demands of outdoor play. Designed for fast action play.
ProKennex Yellow- Designed for outdoor play. These outdoor balls are designed for faster, livelier speeds. The bright yellow color will make them easier to follow on the court.
ProKennex Blue - Two Pressure-less balls in a can that are specially designed for faster, livelier speed.
Wilson Titanium Green- This is a lively tournament quality ball that is consistent and long lasting.
Wilson Championship Blue - Perfect speed for all levels of play.
Wilson Hope Balls- This ball was designed by women for women. These balls are medium speed and are great on the court for consistency and visibility. A percent of all sales is donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 2 balls per can.
Racquetball Bags- Bags come in different sizes. Most companies offer at the minimum three options, and other companies offer as many as six options. All bags will fit racquets comfortably. 90% of bags will have enough space for clothing, shoes, balls, and just about anything you want to throw in your racquetball bag. Ektelon has bags that are perfect for travel as they have wheels on them and act just like luggage.
Racquetball Clothing- The more common clothing that players are using is made of dry-wick material. Dry wick keeps you cool and comfortable, unlike cotton that sticks and drenches and can make you uncomfortable. You can get racquetball clothing from Head, Ektelon, Gearbox, and E-Force.
Socks- My recommendation would easily be Thorlo socks. They are great for all activities. They are designed to help protect your feet from the damaging effects of impact, shear, and blistering common to playing racquet sports.
Shock Absorbers (Dampeners) - They help change the sound on contact. Dampeners are also used to help eliminate vibration on contact.
Anti-Slip Spray- Your best option to help you not slip on floors is to have shoes that are not used outdoor but ONLY indoor. In some cases you do come across courts that are not well maintained. In this case I would recommend some Python Anti-Slip spray.
Headbands/Bandana - Racquetball is such a great cardiovascular workout and causes you to sweat a lot. Sweat begins to get in your eyes and it causes discomfort and it interferes with your play. We recommend wearing a headband or bandana for this problem.
Wristbands- You can use wristbands to help wipe the sweat out of your eyes and off of your forehead and other parts of your body.
Anti-Fog Spray- When you sweat, your goggles / eyewear have a tendency to fog up. If this happens to you we would recommend Anti-Fog spray to help prevent this.
Bumpers and Grommets- Over time your bumper and grommets will go bad from hitting the wall. The only way you can replace them is when you are getting your racquet restrung.
Racquet restringing - My advice...if you play three times a week you should get your racquet strung three times a year. As your professional stringers, we look over your racquet completely...making sure it is in good condition for restringing and string it up. We ship it out or you can pick it up the same day.
Instructional Videos/Books- There are good options available to you in order to take your game to the next level. It starts with you and what you want out of the game and what you are willing to put into the game. If you are willing to take time every day, week, and/or month to better your game ...IT WILL HAPPEN. With some goals, practice, and determination you could take your game to a level that, right now, is not imaginable for you. Call us if you would like to talk about this further in setting goals and putting together a plan. Who knows, you may some day be a national champion in your age group!

Another item that has helped me a lot as a current Junior and Collegiate Racquetball Coach at Indiana State University is Fran Davis's Building YourRacquetball Dream House DVD. I played the VCR copy on our TV at the store, and I heard it in the background a lot. That has helped me very much in coaching and as a player.
