Hey guys so I used to play a lot but haven't for some time now. I got an itch to get back in the game, who all has played it before? It's pretty simple rules and stuff and it's good cardio and you can hit the ball really really hard. What kind of racquet do you guys have, or do you just check out those really shitty ones they have to rent out? Black or white headband, or other colors? Do you guys have Oakley protectant glasses, or even wear them? I sure as crap don't. Do you wear a glove? Have an extra one after you get done whooping somebodies ass and change gloves?
I got this bad boy a few years ago and I about sent it back because I was terrible with it but have gotten better at it now.

Anybody wanna hit it around sometime, I'm not very good anymore but you may keep it within 10 points now. Let me hear it you guys!

racquetball is great. haven't really played much since intramural days.
squash is great too. All-U intramural champ every year. Mostly because everybody else really sucked.
-
I used to play all the time at the rec, fun stuff.

do you get one giganitic arm and one tiny arm like a fiddler crab or john leguizamo in the lady in the water

It's closer to Roger Federer than a fiddler crab

I mean, I assume you like racquetball and I don't blame you for misspelling your name on purpose(?). Is your racquet as good as mine?

Played a lot of racquetball years ago and really liked it. Probably should have stayed with it. This thread may get the ol' r-ball juices flowing again. :billdance:

Same boat. If you're in the KC area, i'll play you. Also, TonyaHarding's the one who introduced me to the game so i'm sure we could get a goEMAW league going or something.

Not "fat" in my eyes but def out of shape. Didn't know if this was serious but the rec is the only place with courts in MHK, anybody know of others? You can check out racquets at the rec to use, idk when MSLH is moving but we could play cutthroat while he is still in MHK.

Candlewood has courts, i believe, but you'd need to be a member.
I'm always down to thunderfuck the both of you. Just let me know when.

Alright guys, I'm ready to get back to beating ass, MSLH cut those curly Fabio locks or get a scrunchy and lets rough ridin' do this!

There are people at the Y that take raquetball really seriously. Now that there's a raquetball thread, I'll try to take some pictures.

no mention of tennis balls (that these guys use), and some of these guys use little paddles. Also it's lots of old guys and sometimes they're slamming some suds while they play. but it's definitely essentially the same thing.
Latinos at my park also love volleyball. They bring their own nets and set them up in the baseball diamond outfield. Sometimes there will be three separate latino family volleyball games going on at once.
