The shot is harder to do if you are too far out back. It is also more likely that the ball will skip into the floor. If you do your pinch shot too high, the ball will bounce once from the front wall and sets up your opponent for his own kill shot. On the reverse, hit the ball at the other side wall about 2 feet (or less) and within 1 to 2 feet from the front wall. There seems to be one in every high school gym or some park. Unfortunately, outside weather is sometimes not on your side. Or sometimes, your usual public courts might just be too hot for your playing comforts. What are your alternatives?

Promote Racquetball in Your Facility Are you working in a physical fitness facility or a club membership for sports aficionados? If racquetball is not yet offered in your facility, you might start the idea of introducing it to members and catering to existing fanatics and players of the ballgame. You would surely not go wrong with it. The rules are easy to assimilate and implement, and the nature of the game itself is quite simple. For amateurs who might have forgotten how the game is played and for those who do not know how to play the game but are curious to know it and its rules, the following are the major game makeup. Single double or trio Racquetball games are played by two people against one another (singles) or four people with two for each team (doubles) and three people (cutthroat) where each one plays the other two. Of course, like most advice in any sport, these are generalized tips at best. They are effective only if you play and apply them. Serving Like most ball games similar to racquetball, the serve is an important stroke. You can make your opponent move and miss the ball. Study the videos of pro players and check out their serves that you can do best and practice them. At the exact point of contact the ball should slightly pass the inner thigh while the racquet face is oriented to the front wall and the bottom frame parallel to the floor. Step into the ball with the lead foot in a straight manner at the same moment the stroke is performed. There should be consistent wrist snap upon contact and a follow through directed towards the front wall.
