Ninh explains, the Rules of Racquetball. Sometimes called 'American Racquetball' to differentiate it from British Racketball - this is played predominantly in North America. Learn all about this cool sport here.

I'm glad we didn't have to wait too much time to know the difference between this and squash :)

Yep, these two videos didn't take that long to make as I knew the rules already and there's not much to it. Cheers :)

For years, I obviously had NO idea what my mother used to play when I'd sit in my stroller, back around 1986 or so. When I got older, I still didn't know. Around 15 years ago or so, I finally figured out what my late mother used to play. I'm certain it was racquetball- She would have a tennis racquet and hit a ball as hard as she could, for loads of time against a concrete target of a bulls' eye. That's gotta be racquetball. RIP.

Great video! Keep up the good work Ninh. I know you already made a video on cricket, but I was wondering if you ever considered doing a more in depth recording that explains the differences between the three forms of the sport (T20, one-day, and first class). Cheers!

@NinhLyUK 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Renata. The differences are relatively self-explanatory and I don't think it warrants making a separate video about it. Thanks for the suggestion though.

@NinhLyUK 7 жыл бұрын

I think Racquetball's rules (no lines on the walls) and the different equipment makes this a completely different game to Squash. Rallies can be extremely short in this game.

Ninh Ly Yes before this video I thought it was just a dumb version of Squash but it is actually much cooler now that I know the rules!

Should also be pointed out that there is an outdoor version of Racquetball. The rules are a little different but the general idea is the same, but th biggest difference is that you only have the front and side walls, no back wall and obviously no ceiling. Oh, and dimensions of the walls can vary from court to court.

@ricknewton6619 2 жыл бұрын

HELP, situation: first serve is a short serve; second serve is good and goes into play. At some point, a hinder is called during rally ending play and a re-due is agreed on. Does first service fault continue to count and another short serve results in a side out? Or is the rally started over with new service count??. answer to this issue is not readily available in my search of rules

I actually prefer this sport to Tennis. I mean, imagine how fast your reflexes and how large your stamina must be to keep up with a ball which takes extremely fast bounces! It still 🤯amazes🤯 me to this day!

@666kingdrummer Жыл бұрын

Outdoor racquetball is just as tough. You only have the front and side walls. No back wall and obviously no ceiling, so your shot selection has to be on point as well. Oh, and the wall dimensions can vary from court to court as well.

unfortunately due to lack of courts this game is nearly impossible to play in England or the rest of the uk but is very popular in Ireland as the courts are the same as handball, the gaelic sport. the only places in the uk to play are on us airbases. imo in it a much better game than the british version which is called racketball as opposed to racquetball. in racquetball the ball is played off the ceiling too but in racketball this is impossible as its played on a squash court.

Anyone having trouble getting racquetball racquets strung in north east NJ area? I recently restrung some racquetball racquets for the first time in 15 years of stringing and I know why so many tennis shops will not do it. In tennis almost every racquet is the same or close to. You do not need to be staring at the USRSA notes while doing tennis racquets. So you do not need to keep paying USRSA 130 dollars a year to get the digest with the notes. With racquetball stringing you are following detailed notes, and makes no sense compared to tennis. Plus tennis shops will use basic tennis strings. So if anyone needs a string job and lives close, let me know.

@NinhLyUK 7 жыл бұрын

You'd think so but no. Because Racquetball has no lines that dictate areas of the wall you can't play - the bigger head and bouncier ball means that the strategy is totally different to that of Squash.
