what exactly do you mean by racquetball? do you mean squash?

i'm going to participate in a tournament soon called racquetlon, you basically play five different sports :P

Tennis, table-tennis, squash, badminton and I think the last was called speedminton or smth like that... hope it'll be great fun :D


squash isnt played much in the United States, Racquetball is way more popular.

the court is a little bigger also. I have played squash in one that had a movable wall and lines drawn on it.

I have a friend here from Norway, huge squash player and has never played racquetball until now. Says its alot faster than squash, and he has trouble hitting shots off the ceiling and back wall.

Ehh well I've played tennis for a long long time and I also happen to be pretty good at table tennis and betminton and hitting with baseball, it's all the same hand-eye coördination


racquet sports are all about squaring the racquet or paddle before impact. you would be good at golf too
