When people start playing racquetball, they spend so much time trying to master all the most difficult moves. Z serves, drive serves and other fancy shots that are higher risk than they are worth.
If you were to attend a racquetball tournament that had a spectrum of players from novice to pros, you will notice one major difference. The novice players are all trying to hit impressive shots, they may score a few points with these special techniques, but they will most likely lose just as many points to messing up one of these high risk shots.
Now, if you take a walk over and watch a couple of professionals playing. You are going to notice something, most of their serves are lob serves, and the majority of their shots are passes or pinch shots. Pros stick to the basics because they know what works. Stick to the basics and try to catch your opponent out of position.
In my opinion the three most important aspects of racquetball are being able to hit the ball with precision on both your forehand as well as your backhand, positioning, and consistency.
If you can master these three things, or at least maintain your focus on them, you will definitely become a better racquetball player.
