In Response To: Racquetball is Not Exactly the Same Game as Squash (Bill Riles)

>> As an aside, in all my years of racquetball I only saw one other player who hit a backhand as I did -- with the same face of the racquet as the forehand. When one becomes proficient in doing so, a tremendous amount of power and racquet head speed can be generated.

I'd really like to see this, I find it difficult to understand how you could generate a powerful stroke like that?

Can you compare it to some other sports movement or explain how you grip the racket?

Is it like the badminton around the head forehand clear?
