I gotta confess. I-I'm working on my boasts and rails with a pro. Mm. 300 an hour. But hey, at least I don't suck anymore.

boasts e drives
Explanation:
Conforme discussão, o contexto é diferente do que imaginávamos: parece ser uma partida de squash.

Se for isso mesmo, minha sugestão:

boasts = boasts
(o termo fica em inglês mesmo)

rails = drives
(forma mais conhecida do termo)

http://www.squashclub.org/main/e-lessons/shots/shots.shtml

"The bread and butter shot of squash is the drive, also called "rail" shot. The drive is basically a shot that hits the front wall around the service line and with the first bounce just behind the service box."

As opções do adversário tornam-se assim mais reduzidas, não podendo atacar (só com boast)

Como rotina mantenha os drives profundos com a bola o mais junto possível da parede
