RACQUET SPORTS TIP
From: Kevin Cretella, The Director of Racquet Sports
“Mixing It Up”
Play with extra variety early on in your next doubles match to see what your opponents like and dislike. Then, try to exploit these “chinks in their armor” until you’ve “taken the fight out of them”. Let me know how it works for you in your next doubles match!
FUN FACT!
Before rackets were made, the ball was struck with the palm of the hand in the 12th century. Then in the 16th century the rackets came into use.
