Squash Tips for Racquetball !

Down the line shot

Alley is little road that runs close all along building. Alley shot is like that. It runs close all along side of court. Idea is to make difficulty for opponent, of course. You give him ball close to side wall, this is not easy to kill. You make side wall your friend (100).
 

Drop shot is slow ball, it hits just little over tin on front wall, ends quick. It ends more quick if you send it close to corner, so it goes to side wall after front. Side wall is like brake. Yes, and you are lucky, maybe that ball goes to crack at bottom of side wall. When you make drop that hits side wall nick like this, you have very nice shot indeed…. Necessary you make proper stroke. Do not poke that ball. Make a nice stroke, wrist cocked, little backswing, little twist of wrist, racquet open a little, and follow through smooth (106).

I take that ball in air, before bounce, and send it soft up front, a little over tin. Volley drop. Dies quick. Opponent, he is not beginning to run and he loses point. If ball comes to you very fast like that and you want to make drop, give only little baby stroke, just aim that ball to proper place (117).
 

When you know you have not good chance to make a winner, play safe shot: maybe good chance comes next time (125).
