One thing I've noticed in my few years of avid racquetball play is that a lot of people refuse to learn how to hit a racquetball with their back hand. Every shot they tweak their bodies into new and innovative new positions to hit that ball with the front of their racquet.
I don't think there is many people who play hockey or tennis who don't learn to use their back hand, so what is stopping people from learning how to hit a backhand shot in racquetball.
You can definitely use this to your advantage if you notice your opponent has a weak backhand. If they do, try to fire as many shots as possible into an area where they are forced to hit the ball backhand or endure some form of torturous twisting to get it with their front hand shot.
If you happen to suffer from a crappy backhand shot, it isn't too tough to remedy. Just head to the court with a buddy and take turns smacking the other person the ball to their back hand over and over again until they can consistently land backhand shots.
It is just like anything else in life, practice makes perfect!
