Default Anyone play the old timer sport....Racquetball

Hey all,

It's been a REALLY long time since i've posted here, not sure if anyone remembers me, but ever since mid-August of 2007 i've been playing the sport of Racquetball. I've been hooked ever since, playing pretty much everyday for atleast 2-3 hours(i do this instead of cardio, which I hate). I was just wondering if anyone else on here plays racquetball? If you do I've been trying to find some good information/videos that could help me improve my game. I'm currently playing in a league at my gym and am a B player.

-Ramon

PS please move my thread to the appropriate sub-forum if need be.

I played squash for fun while in high school and college, and it had to be one of the better cardio workouts I've done, what with the quick sprinting in all directions. Unfortunately, I see a bunch of racquetball courts around Long Island, but no squash courts :-(

I don't really have anything to say to help your post, but you reminded me of this

My gym in college had 5 RB courts and two Squash courts. Those two squash courts are the only ones i've ever seen in my life. Both sports are definitely brutal when it comes to cardio. It's soooo much more better than running on the treadmill for 20-30 minutes.

Well I was using this thread as a way to gauge how many people were into Racquetball on this site and if there was a big enough following I was going to suggest making a sub-forum for it, but it appears I am the only one.

My advice.....play Racquetball, fall in love, never look back.
