how do you stop skipping the ball when you go for too much

I've been playing for a little while and my biggest problem is I try to end rallies too early. see an opening and just swing as hard as i can, ball ends up in the floor like half the time. My friend calls me the hare from that old tortoise and hare thing .I feel like i need to just keep the rally going and wait for a real setup instead of forcing everything. Anyone have a drill or a mental trick that helped them be more patient, also how do you know when it's actually time to go for a winner instead of just playing safe.

Can anyone help me identify this racquet?

I bought this racquet at a yard sale. They said it was a tennis racquet but I’m pretty sure it’s a racquetball racquet. However I can’t find any information or pictures or anything of this exact racquet online to find any details on it. Anyone know exactly what racquet this is and where to find information on it? I don’t know how old it is but it’s hardly been used, it’s in great condition.

Don't ever turn your back to the front wall

I learned this one the hard way in a tournament years ago. Hit a ceiling ball that was floating down the center. Instead of watching the ball and staying square, I turned my back to chase it to the back wall. Opponent just waited, let me run past him and passed it right back to the front wall. I was still running the wrong direction never felt more embarrassed. Coach told me after to always keep my body facing the front wall as much as possible. You can run backwards or shuffle sideways. just don't turn around and give up the whole court. I still think about that point sometimes and cringe.

I have been seeing more people with those little rubber things on their strings , you know the ones with little circles or shapes wedged in between the cross strings. Some guys swear by them, say it changes the feel and sound off the racquet, other guys say it's purely cosmetic and does nothing except make your racquet look like a kids toy. I've never used one honestly never even thought about it until I saw someone with like four of them on the same racquet. looked funny but now I'm curious if I'm missing out on something. Anyone actually noticed a difference with or without

Taking a shot in the dark here...Does anyone know how/where I could get my hands on the following racquet. I used to have these before they updated the 155 model and absolutely loved them and have always missed playing with them. Will buy new or used. Thank you in advance.

"Head Graphene XT Extreme 155 Racketball Racket"

It wont let me or I don't know how to post a picture so I have included a link to the model I am looking for.
