Tips & Techniques - Proper Court Positiong
Shot Selection
The Pinch Shot
In racquetball, proper court positioning is essential. Here's some quick basics to remember:
- The key to winning is play a deep floating zone - the furthest forward you should be is the five-foot line.
- Stand in center court to give yourself the best chance to get the most of the balls. On any given shot, your'e just a few quick steps away.
- Don't move up to the "dead man's zone" (in front of the five-foot line)-you'll find that passing shots as well as ceiling balls will shoot by yoo.
- Focus on the left-up balls, rather than trying to retreive the unretreivable.
