What Is A Pinch Shot?

Racquetball Pinch Shot There are many different types of shots in racquetball, many of which I will cover over time when I'm less lazy, but the shot I am going to talk about today is called a pinch shot.

A pinch shot is typically used when you want to keep a low or soft hit in the front region of the court.

There are merely two varieties of pinch shots, off the left or right sidewall! Simple right?

The idea behind a pinch shot is to hit the ball off the side wall so the ball bounces off the side wall, hits the front wall, then bounces twice before it gets to the other side wall.  Pinch shots are great for when your opponent is deep in the court because when performed correctly your enemy will have very little time to get to the front of the court!

Next time you play racquetball give it a shot (pardon the pun), once you get this shot down, it will be a great tool in your racquetball arsenal.
