The Good, the bad
& the ugly
 

The Bad: These strategies have a bit of creative sneakiness to them.
 

Junk, More Junk & Pinch
This strategy may be effectively applied against opponents with limited offensive punch and even better if they have some difficulties reading multiple walls shots. Of course, if your opponent is also getting fatigued, this strategy will work wonders for your scoring drives, impressing your fans, and frustrating the dickens out of your opponent!

Generally, you should save this devious strategy for games late into the match when the opponent is sufficiently tired out mentally and physically. The dejected and demoralized face of your opponent will be priceless.
 

Commando Strategy
This strategy relies on physical intimidation early on and fast. You go into the court for your first game doing jumping jacks; doing air punches like Rocky Balboa; and running around the court like a hog crazed Billy Bob from Arkansas.

All of this drama is to show opponent that you are physically pumped up to get to everything and they will need to roll out every single ball just to score a few points on you. When the match starts, you play like a maniac commando for the first seven points. You get to every ball, you grunt, you yell, you scream, you run down every ball like it is life or death. You make a lot noise and increase the tempo every chance you get.
 

Around the Walls Ball Don
This is actually a hybrid strategy of Junk/More Junk/Pinch. This strategy is named after the always colorful racquetball player, aptly named, "AWBs Don." Don is an old crafty veteran racquetballer, who is a master at hitting his patented junk shot, Around the Walls Ball at any position on the court.

Whereas, in the Junk/More Junk/Pinch strategy, you would hit many junk shots to elicit a short setup you can finish with a pinch, Don does not intend to finish you off. He let you do it yourself, as he quietly grins ear to ear. Don will hit AWBs all day long until you can prove that you can beat him by finishing them deep off the backwall.
