Excellent introduction to the game

I've been playing Raquetball solo for a few weeks now. I'm coming at it with virtually no knowledge except seeing some other people play as I pass by the courts. I bought a book and this video. While the book is very well written and illustrated, it wasn't much help beyond selecting equipement. This video, on the other had, is an excellent introduction for the beginner. I can recommend it highly. It would be easier to list my few small complaints: it would have been helpful to see some of the drills from more than one angle or closer in some cases. The video moves very quickly from one drill to another. You'll have to watch it a few times to digest it. Winterton seems to be addressing an off-camera audience of instructors rather than the video audience, so sometimes the commentary drifts from instruction on the game to instruction on teaching the game. The model being trained should have had a microphone on him to provide more natural interaction. Finally, the menu isn't as user-friendly as it might be. I would also like to have seen the lessons outlined on the cover art or an insert card. Those are minor compalints, to be sure. I will probably invest in the advanced DVD in a few weeks.

Good beginner's video

I purchased this after watching Winterton's advanced DVD. In it, he recommends watching this beginner's DVD as well, no matter what skill level. I'm not going to say this is a bad idea, but much of the information in here is contained in the advanced DVD. If you're a non-beginner, there is not much material here that you don't know already.

As with Winterton's other DVD, the video quality is excellent and it's easy to see why Winterton was so successful as the coach for the U.S. team. Skills are explained in detail and easy to understand. Winterton does a great job of not only showing technique, but also the potential for what may happen to one's game should they work on a few technical skills.

If you're new to racquetball, this is a great way to be introduced to the sport.

Great introductory DVD for beginners and players of moderate skill.

I have been playing racquetball for the last couple of years, intermittently. Maybe 1-2 times a month. So I still consider myself a beginner. I found this DVD very useful. It starts off with the very fundamentals, such as stance and grip, and moves on to some advanced strokes and serves. The coach has an easy relaxed style, the quality of filmmaking is decent. I just wish they showed the shots from different views and angles.

Not bad but needs work

This needs more microphones and more camera angles. If the angles were better and showed shots from different angles and the back wall you could see where you are supposed to place your shots. Other than that, it's not a bad Dvd. Good drills and skills to practice.
