The ball rebounds off the
side wall, goes cross court and hits the opposite side wall just inches
away from the front wall. It bounces out and practically parallel to the
front, barely touching or "kissing" the front wall for a winner, or at
least a very difficult "get" for your opponent (see figs. 13 [Forehand
boast.] & 14 [Forehand boast.]). The only prerequisite for hitting this
shot properly is that you should be fairly far back in the court and
close to one of the side walls prior to the execution of your shot.
Four-Wall Boast: This particular shot is much more difficult to master
than the double boast or three-wall fadeaway but, at the same time, far
more effective and unexpected. It has to be hit with a good deal of
power and quite high in order to carry to the front wall. Your chances
of success are, therefore, far greater if attempted off the forehand
side.
The ball travels off your racquet high into the backhand or left wall,
rebounds sharply to the opposite or forehand wall heading toward the
front of the court.
