The ball bounces differently and there's a glare to contend with - but you can use the glass to your advantage.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Note the number of glass walls. One-, two- and three-glass walls are all common at racquetball courts. Your reflection and people outside the court may be distractions.
Step 2

Prepare for the ball to grip the glass longer than on a typical wall.
Step 3

Wait to see where the ball bounces off the glass wall. Don't assume you know where it's going.
Step 4

Make your opponent look into the glass, or play the ball off the glass, whenever you can. If the back wall is glass, hit lots of ceiling and lob shots. Pinch shots are effective because they're harder to judge as they hit the glass.

Tips & Warnings

When you have the option, play on courts with glass walls so you'll become more comfortable with them.
If you have any condition that would impair or limit your ability to engage in physical activity, please consult a physician before attempting this activity. This information is not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.
