This is because students tend to worry much about their grip, stroke, and mechanics rather than about pre-positioning so they could hit using the correct mechanics. First, let us look at the disadvantages. Fees One of the big complaints about private members-only gyms is the price. Some would allow you to sign up for a racquetball-only membership. The sad part is you will still have to fork out a pricey initiation fee that can run up to hundreds of dollars. This is on top of your monthly due which is around $10 to $40 depending on the area where you live. A hit striking another player due to the actions of the other player or his partner is another no-no. Penalized hindrances can also be a cause of losing a rally. Other actions that may place the player on the losing end of a rally are carrying the ball using the racquet, not utilizing racquet cord for wrist safety, switching of racquet hands during the actual rally, and allowing the ball to hit the uniform or other body part. Although racquetball is characterized by hot exchanges from two fierce competitors there is a standard on how each party must carry themselves during the game. A technical foul is given to any wall banger or racquetball player upon excessive arguing, signs of physical threat and violence, and usage of profane words.
