Racquetball Shots
Racquetball is a unique racquet sport because there are so many different shots you can hit at any given time. If you really want to become a top level player you'll need to learn each of these shots, and how to hit them consistently. If you just play for fun you'll really enjoy learning more shots and ultimately have more fun.

NOTE: The splat shot shares the same contact point as the pinch shot. The splat shot is simply hit much closer to the side wall.
There are some important terms you should know before you continue that will help you understand how to hit each shot. The terms pertain to the nature of the height on the front wall at which you hit each of the shots in the game. The terms are: pass, pass-kill, and kill, and they are measured in inches.
