Being an avid racquetball "junky" that plays 4-6 times per week, I'm always looking for new ways to strengthen my forearms and avoid injury. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I could accomplish the task in as little as four minutes! Involving myself in a regimented Gripstik program has not only strengthened my arm, but put considerably more "snap" in all my shots. I no longer have days when my arm feels "dead", and as a result, my overall game has improved significantly. My bet is that those who play tennis, squash, and any other activity involving arm fatigue can benefit greatly from using Gripstik!'

Top Ten Tips for Racquetball Success
&bull Visualize all of your racquetball shots working during the match...the mind gravitates toward what you tell it to do
&bull Use Pre-match warm-ups as an opportunity to scout your opponents...everyone loves to practice their best shots and not their weak shots
&bull Don't "buddy-up" with your opponent...you can be friends after you win the match
&bull Never give up during a point or a racquetball match...you never know when your opponent is going to lapse
&bull There is no substitute for hustle, a positive attitude, and an unrelenting work ethic...on every point!
&bull Never focus on the score of the match...only focus on winning the next point!
&bull Celebrate your awesome shots with a proper display of emotion
&bull Acknowledge poor shots and errors, and correct by focusing on technique
&bull If behind, don't allow yourself to think about losing. A seed of doubt creates a mental cancer
&bull Always believe in your ability to compete and win...and have FUN along the way!
