Okay, so I got a racquetball racquet and I'm off to go practice tomorrow so I can play against this guy at my job. How is the form of the swing different than in tennis? Or is it? I want to practice properly!

the swing is the same just less followthrough but most of it is still there
dont aim make it go as wild as possible
catch the ball at as low an angle as possible instead of like tennis where u want it as high as possible because u can hit the ball very steep and make it a difficult shot to hit

since the racquet is short it becomes more of a wrist play like table tennis. but you can do with your full swiing if you're fast enough cuz the ball is back at u.
tho have observed great racquetball players came from being tennis players before.

the biggest difference is that you can bend your arms more without getting Tennis Elbow. Check out this website!

the swing is more compact...you don't need to follow-through as much as in tennis...just stab at the ball.
