THE ALL-TIME BEST RACQUETBALL PLAYER AWARD by Steve Keeley |
Topic: The Bo Chronicles |
| When the racquetball day is done, the question of the century is who was and is the best player ever. The top seven contenders in my mind are Cliff Swain, Sudsy Monchik, Mike Ray, Marty Hogan, Mike Yellen, Charley Brumfield and Bud Muehleisen. Each world champion represents an era of sequential domi... |

Hilecher's response to The All-Time Best Racquetball player by Steve Keeley |
Topic: The Bo Chronicles |
| What a great story. All time bests are always controversial and everyone has an opinion. There are very few players who have played against most past and present day greats. I played against every player listed while they were in their prime or close to it. Muhleisen was out of the open close to... |

Slow Feet, Fast Mind? by Steve Keeley |
Topic: The Bo Chronicles |
| Think of this article as a fast shoe for your slow feet. I feel black-and-white and red all over in writing it because my nickname 'Three-toe Sloth', the slowest land mammal, still stings. I'm going to declare what I've learned from the trauma and its redress. |

ODE TO THE ONE-FOOT PASS SHOT by Steve Keeley |
Topic: The Bo Chronicles |
| Another element was brought to the surface in a study years ago. It determined that the majority of nationally ranked racquetball players were able to effectively kill only 2-of-10 shots from 38-feet (discounting back wall shots,).

Killshot Keeley's Bittersweet Dispatch by Steve Keeley |
Topic: The Bo Chronicles |
| Please allow me to hang my credential initially. At my best in paddleball - national champ at whim - the sole arsenal was the kill. At racquetball, my standing was 2-4 for a decade in beating all the national champs at one time or another with a shot selection of the kill. This record is arresting b... |

SOUTHPAWS, MIRRORS AND YOU by Steve Keeley |
Topic: The Bo Chronicles |
| Left-handers comprise about 10% of the total population, but I think they account for a greater proportion of the better participants in all sports. The reason is that athletes hone their skills and strategies against the most available fodder, righties. In racquetball, there are some things you sho... |

COURT COVERAGE by Steve Keeley |
Topic: The Bo Chronicles |
| The tip is aimed at neophytes. Center court - the best position to be during a rally, and where you want to drive your rival away from - has been measured and sketched for decades. The best method for teaching center court is to point the beginner's eyes away from the chalkboard and directly toward ... |

The strategy to drive opponents up a wall by Steve Keeley |
Topic: The Bo Chronicles |
| I had just escaped Amazonian 'cannibals' in the heart of the jungle, and was medivaced by military helicopter to Iquitos, Peru, where I jumped down from the copter and walked into a waterfront bar because the keeper, whom I'd never met, was a rare gringo and I needed someone to talk to. "I was just ... |

The Rise and Fall of Your Game by Steve Keeley |
Topic: The Bo Chronicles |
| Through twenty years and a dozen national championships in racquet spots, I occasionally heard the masters speak of hitting the ball on the 'rise or fall', but was too wet behind the ears to ask the meaning. I screwed up my courage one day and was told by an all-racquet champ, 'Racquetball players ... |
