The Forehand

These drills work equally well for your backhand as well as the forehand. The player is working continuously on their accuracy which is vital at this level of play.

The Backhand

 

Off the back wall low kill.

 

The Drop

The drop shot is a difficult shot to control in Racketball but the more you practice the better you get! The old adage ‘practice makes perfect’ comes to mind!

 

Side to side drop at the front solo drill.

Straight & crosscourt drop at the front solo drill.

 

The Boast / The Lob

 

Lob solo drill. You can use this drill for either the forehand or the backhand. Look to get height on the front wall and direct the ball on to the side wall so it drops into the back corner. Easier said than done!

 

The Volley

One of the more difficult shots in racketball to play well but when you do it can be a game changer!

 

Volley drop side to side solo drill.

Low working Crosscourt volley.

Backhand volley drop solo drill. Great solo drill to just groove your backhand or forehand straight volley drop as well as practising your lob / slow ball down the wall.
