Very little equipment is needed for this sport. Although the sport can be played outdoors, most racquetball courts are located inside.

But before that there are few very important things you need to learn to make your racquetball experience a smooth flow without any injuries and disappointments. For instance, the weight of your racquet can either help or hurt your ability to successfully play racquetball. Racquet weights range from 150 grams to 245 grams. The weights are broken down into three distinguishing weight ranges, lightweight, medium weight and heavy weight.

There are also three types of swings, the slow swing, the moderate swing and the fast swing. Each swing style will be discussed in this guide to help you discern the type of player you are.

The balance of a racquet affects a player's maneuverability and power much like the weight of a racquet does. There are three choices when it comes to balance, the heavy head racquet, the light head racquet and a balanced racquet. Learning about each of the three types of balances will help you determine the best racquet for your style of play.
