heh... I did actually. It was early on, and I'll never do that again.

I was taught in raquetball class that you have to look back at your opponent because you need to anticipate where the shot will go and you can see that from his foot positioning, eyes, etc. I guess it doesn't work when you play with noobs because they can't control their shots that well.

A cool shot to learn and frustrate your opponent is the defensive shot off the ceiling to their backhand side that lands near the back wall. It pisses the hell out of the guy if you do it right

r-ball is interesting cause if you play with someone good who has no mercy for you then *YOU* don't have much fun...but the guy who is good sure gets a head trip out of it.

i like squash too cause you can get more volleys going. i find too often in r-ball with at least 1 good player that games go too quickly.

Raquetball is fun. Haven't played in years but it's a blast.
