This one drifted across my desk-again will paraphrase to protect the innocent; but this occurs all over the world on racquetball courts frequently. “My opponent never kills the ball but hits it so I have to move through him or around him to get to a shot. After he hits a shot he slides slightly toward the ball to block my vision. I doubt if a ref would call a hinder but I get tired after racing out to a good lead. Signed Help me play full contact racquetball”
There used to be a famous actor named Dan Blocker. That name always seemed to fit this type of player. Welcome to racquetball as this player exists in every venue with a court in the world!
To play the “Dan Blocker” I am thinking your shot selection or execution needs improvement. If your opponent is directing traffic while you hustle from corner to corner, you need to get them out of center court. Ceiling balls will do that. You also should switch from offensive shots on the run to throwing up some defensive shots too. This will loosen up that center court clogger and make him have to cover the deep court. A shot you would do well to hit from the front court is the z ball. That will also send opponents scurrying to the back court and get them out of your way! I also think you may be hitting the side walls too much and need to switch to more one wall shots from the back court! Loosen up that center court clogger with some great rotor rooter defensive shots!
By the way-if you watch closely this player evolves into a similar style at the professional levels. Professionals who shoot too much from the back court can be a victim to this advanced “blocker” who controls the front court!
