The following are some of the fundamental shots you should attempt to
include in your repertoire:
Rails: Your "bread and butter" shots, similar to Squash Racquets, are
the "rails" or shots hit straight up and down, parallel to the side wall.
These rails keep your opponents "scrambling" and allow you to hold that
important "T" position.
The rail shot is hit more effectually when you are fairly close, within
three feet, of the side wall. The closer your position to the side wall,
the easier it is to hit a shot that stays right next to the wall during
the entire flight of the shot (see fig. 9 [Straight up and down backhand
and forehand rail shots.]).
Many winners are made off of these rail shots in the following manner:
1. Frequently the ball hits straight into a rear corner and dies; or
2. It pops unexpectedly out of the corner and right into your opponent;
3. When hit with the proper pace, and low, the ball will die before it
comes off the back wall;
4. When hit with sheer power and relatively high, your opponent will be
unable to catch up with it;
5.
