Backwall play
 

Playing the ball off the backwall is an essential skill in being successful and improving rapidly in racquetball. If you are not able to hit high percentage offensive shots off the backwall, you will never improve beyond the intermediate level.

The amateur racquetballer needs to realize that backwall plays is the very definition of racquetball and to diligently practice this key aspect of the game for faster improvement in this great game of ours and to increase their victories and thus, increase their enjoyment ratios versus their hapless backwall phobic opponents!

The Backwall is Our Friend!    Repeat several times for good effects!


When playing the ball off the backwall, it is pertinent to remember to not camp out and expect the ball to land exactly perfectly in your power zone. More often than not, if you camp out, the ball will be too behind you and you will end up adjusting your swing and scooping the ball, resulting in a low percentage and weak shot.

So, stop camping out, take down the tent, camp gears, and no more roasting marshmallows over a hot campfire, and use the five tips below to take your racquetball to a whole new level of backwall artistry!
