How and When to Hit the Racquetball Pinch Shot

The pinch shot is one of the most effective shots in racquetball. Along with the kill shot, the pinch shot is a rally ending shot. It is better than a kill shot because you do not need to hit the ball as low or as hard.

A very basic tactic to use during a game revolves around the pinch shot

1. If you can hit the ball at knee level anywhere in the area around the 5 foot encroachment line
2. And your opponent is behind you
3. Hit a pinch shot.

If you can add the pinch shot to your game, then expect to start winning more rallies.
