Shot Selections


When selecting your shots, if the ball is chest high or higher, go to your ceiling shot.


If the ball is chest to thigh high, use a passing shot... lower, go for your kill shot.


If your opponent is behind you, pinch (hit the front wall, then side wall) to the same side as your opponent. If your opponent is even with you, use a passing shot. If your opponent is in front of you, use a passing or ceiling shot.


When in doubt, go with a down the line shot as close to the side wall as possible. This should force a weak or defensive return.


Good angles are more important than hitting the ball low. By using angles and hitting higher on the front wall, you eliminate skip balls or other unforced errors.


Kill shots aren't the only offensive returns. A good passing shot that bounces twice before hitting the back wall will win a rally and is less likely to skip.


Do not force your kill shots. Use your passing shots to get yourself in better position to hit kill shots.


When hitting a passing shot, don't try to hit the ball low on the front wall. Instead, use a hitting range of 6" - 24" off the floor. Then, if your shot is low, it will still be effective.
