Racquetball is a sport that requires a court that is legal and safe to use. A court should have proper enclosure, no obstructions, and a smooth, slip resistant floor that won't cause a player or spectator to trip. A standard racquetball court measures 40 feet in length, 20 feet wide, and twenty feet high. A typical racquetball court is a 40-foot-long rectangle that can be used for play. Players wear shorts, a racket and racquetball boots.
You must always return the ball to the center of your court when you play racquetball. This allows you to keep the ball moving at a fast pace. This also stops the opposing player getting the ball.
Keep your opponent from the middle of the court. Your chances of scoring are easier if the court is in your favor. This can be done with several types of shots. Here are some of these most popular.
A typical match of racquetball will award you 15 points. Your time will be spent in receiving. You must serve from the receiving area. It is the line which separates the two ends of the court. The red lines are used to mark the areas for service and reception.
To stop you, your opponent must make a shot. The opponent might have to make a shot from the receiving area and hit the ball against the wall. This shot is not as effective. The ideal shot is to aim for the ball to go over the back wall of the court. This will reduce distance between you, your opponent, and the court.
The same goes for when your opponent hits the front wall with a shot. You might need to hit the ball into a side wall. This is known as a "high Z" shot. The high Z shot is when the racquetball hits the opposite wall. It travels in a spinning motion after it bounces off the wall.
Another defensive shot is called an "around the world" shot. This shot is hit high, making it difficult for the opponent to return it.
For a defensive shot, you can also hit the ball into the ceiling. Although it is not as accurate as the high Z shot above, this shot can be extremely difficult for your opponent. This shot requires you to use your backhand.
You should bounce the ball one time before you hit the floor. A bouncing ball can be especially useful for high Z. After you hit the ball, you'll need to hit it again on the floor.
