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
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."

http://bizrevolutionblog.typepad.com/atcsquash/dicas-de-squa...
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

Como sabem, o squash é pouco popular no Brasil e os termos tendem a ficar em inglês. O detalhe é que um dos golpes, o rail, é mais conhecido como drive

Seria bom se a Lilian confirmasse se o contexto é esse mesmo...
Poderia ser "discussão", como sugerido pelo Nick, natureza chata (por reclamar, discutir, resmungar), conforme a sugestão da Dani ou qualquer com esse sentido, pelo contexto.
Bom domingão a todos!
