Racquetball Terms - Clarification

So last night when Doreen read my post about the racquetball game she asked, "What's a "passing shot?" She actually asked me if I made it up or if it's a real racquetball term.

Today I received the question from my brother-in-law.

This is from ehow.com!

(Yes it is a real term!! GRIN)

Step 1:
Attempt this shot when you're behind your opponent or when both you and your opponent are on the same side of the court.

Step 2:
Aim for a spot on the wall 3 to 5 feet above the floor. If you hit it much higher than this your opponent has a better chance of an easy return.

Step 3:
Strike the ball with the racquet face perpendicular to the floor.

Step 4:
Use enough power to get the ball past your opponent, but not so much that it bounces off the back wall after one bounce. For best results, you want the ball to bounce twice before it reaches the back wall.

Step 5:
Send the ball to the corner farthest from where your opponent is standing.

Step 6:
Choose a shot angle that makes your opponent move the most. Even if your opponent does chase down the shot, you'll be presented with many options to put your opponent away.
