This review is from: Racquetball (Paperback)
This book "Racquetball" by P.E. Allsen is part if the Sport and Fitness Series of Brown & Benchmark Publishers. As with other books in the series, it pretty much covers everything you want to know about the sport.It covers history, rules, procedures, strategies, etc. There are monochrome pictures of how to stand and move. Along with this are several diagrams of angles best for different types of serves. The book covers rules of different groups and how to score. A very important but overlooked part of the sport is warming up and stretching exercises. They are covered in this book also. The only things lacking from the book are the strength and endurance drills that do not use the ball its self. There is so much information in this 116-page book that it can make your racquet spin. This book is a must if you are even halfway serious.
