Racquetball

Who plays? I kick ass on the courts!

I started playing only recently. A friend of mine plays on the Pro Circuit and he is teaching me
how to play.

But right now, I suck.

It's an awesome game.

Great game, played in highschool and college. Then I got a computer.....sigh

fun game good excercise, but yeah, I have a computer, and fragging in UT 2003 is too much temptation.

I started playing and loved it. Not so great, but It is fun and good exercise

I play... It's fun! Wife and I would play quite a bit before we were married. (No court close anymore )

I've played some with a friend this year. We aren't both that great but its fun to get some exercise and have fun at the same time.

I've played for about 12 years. Right now I'm trying to find people at work who want to play, our office has a court on the top floor of the building.

I think you need to be borderline psychotic to be good at that game

Not really psychotic, but it helps to have no fear of running face-first into walls at high speed. Actually, the better you get at it the less psycho you need to be. Newbies flail away and spend far too much time flinging themselves around the court, good players control the court with shot placement, good positioning on the T and instincts for where the next shot will go based on where the opponent is hitting it from.

the poor mans's equalivant is fun too, paddleball. One wall and no gym membership required, its an NYC sport though.

Maybe I'm confusing racquetball with handball.

Racquetball is a great way to get chicks to play sports with you. No joke. I was amazed at the results.

 

[neomits]

I play every once in a while. I like it a lot when I do play

I used to play quite a bit, but unfortunately, my friends don't like playing me, since I usually win (I think I've lost under ten games total of a few hundred playing), and I can't find any opponents outside of tournaments/official play to play against on a regular basis.
