What is a Side wall in Racquetball?
The side walls in racquetball are part of the playing surface. The ball can bounce off them in normal play, and skilled players use them to create angles and extend rallies.
Example in a match
You hit a forehand that strikes the front wall, then a side wall, then drops into the back corner. All legal.
