Raquetball Tips

How Do I Select My Shot?

• Ball is chest high or up: ceiling shot
• Chest high to thigh high: passing shot
• Below thigh high: kill shot

Where’s the Opponent?

• Behind you: pinch (hit front then side wall) to the same side as your opponent
• Even: passing shot
• Front of You: passing or ceiling shot
• Not Sure: line shot as close to side wall as you can – weaken the defensive return

What About Angles?

Of supreme importance. Use angles and hit higher on the front wall to eliminate skip balls or unforced errors.
What are Good Offensive Returns?

• Kill shots
• Passing shots that bounce twice before hitting the back wall
  • Use passing shots to get in better position for kill shots
  • Hit passing shots 6” to 24” off the floor
