Prince

When we play the ball off the sidewall, and then onto the front wall, it is called a boast.

It will take the ball to opposite front corner.

It can be used aggressively to move our opponent off the T or even be an outright winner.

It can also be used defensively to get difficult balls out of the back corners.

As you master this shot, you can send your opponent the wrong way by making it look like a straight drive.
