A right-handed player makes a backhand frontside pinch when aiming to the left corner and a reverse double pinch when oriented towards the right corner. For players that are lefties the opposite of the mentioned conditions apply. Moving on, the dink is an offensive charge that is applied to end a point. This one aims the ball at either back wall corner. Practice hitting this type of shot low enough to bounce twice before the opponent can catch up to it. This one needs a good practice. Return shots If your opponent is in the middle of the court, you can hit a passing shot. Play the angle in hitting the front wall so that the returning ball will be deep in a corner. In this case let s take some time off to know a thing or two about racquetball. The sport is presented in varying number of players which can reach up to four. A two-player game called singles is the usual format. It is also termed as one-up wherein two individuals go head to head for the entirety of the competition. There is a need to wear proper eye protection. There are balls that are specifically and specially designed for the sport. You could play wearing just ordinary shorts and t-shirts. If you want you could also invest in apparel made of special materials to keep sweat away from your skin and make you feel cooler and drier as you play. The wrong shoes (and socks) can cause severe and painful blisters on your feet. Go for shoes that grip the floor securely. Thick padding near the top prevents the foot and ankle from slipping. (Racquetball clubs and gyms require lighter-colored soles so they will not leave marks on the court floors.) These shoes come in high-top, mid-cut and low cut. However, the truth is that this sport is unique. How did it originate? Joe Sobek, a US-based professional handball and tennis player, is credited for inventing the game in 1950. He introduced the game initially during the Greenwich YMCA. During that time, Mr Sobek had still not thought of a catchy name for the sport.
