This book is excellent as a course text or as a self-instruction guide. It uses a unique progression of skills called the "steps to success." Each of the 18 steps (chapters) presents a basic skill to be mastered, explains why the concept or skill is important, identifies the keys to correct technique, helps players correct common errors, explains how to practise, each skill in realistic ways, lists specific performance goals for each drill, and gives summary checklists for evaluating proper technique. Readers will learn basic skills, important strategies to help them become competitive players, how to select the proper strokes for each game situation, how to rate their own progress as they learn the game of racquetball, and how to improve their skills.
