It has been several years since I played racquetball, but would it be possible to place QR institutional flush HSW on both sides of the court. You could place them at 7' off the front and back wall on both sides, and another in the middle. At 4" down and 7' off the front and back walls, it seems like it would be difficult (not impossible) to hit them with a racquetball.
The courts are only 40' long, so with the heads at 14' on center, you could cover the length. You are only 20' in width, so hsw's on either side would provide adequate coverage.

Placement of heads in the front wall is just a bad idea.
