Racquetball is an excellent winter indoor racquet game to keep you active and fit during the dark and cold days.

Why not get yourself some economical gears to play the game this winter!

A little background about racquetball game

The game of racquetball was invented as a ‘quirky' cross between the games of tennis and squash. The result is a racquet sport that is easier and a lot more fun to play . This is an ideal indoor winter activity for those who can manage to pull themselves off the couch and into action. The game is very simple to master. All you need is a play-mate or three to get going.

The game is played on a standard squash court, but unlike squash, you play with a bigger and bouncier blue ball. As the racquet has a larger head and a shorter handle it is easy to manipulate. If you haven't played any racquet sports before, racquetball is a great way to start.

Described as an excellent fat-burner, racquetball encourages longer rallying, giving you sustained aerobic activity. The game will also improve your hand-eye co-ordination skills as the ball bounces around the walls of the court.

The Gears

Unlike other racquet games, racquetball can be very flexible in terms of what kind of equipment to use. Because the balls and racquets are highly standardized, the good news is whatever you buy is just fine. The differences between high-priced balls and racquets from lower-priced ones are so subtle that they are rendered insignificant.

Recreational players commonly use two types of balls: Standard Racqueball ball and Slow Racqueball ball.

Slow Racquetball Ball:

The slow racquetball ball is a low density light blue color hollow rubber ball with the same diameter as standard ball 2.25 inch (57 mm). However it is softer and bounce lower than the standard ball, hence play in slower speed.
