Breif Introduction to Racqetball http://www.aspenhillclub.com/our-blog/3-best-racquetball-strategies Racquetball, a relatively new sport who’s creation in the twentieth century is largely credited to Joseph G, Sobek a professional handball and squash player from Greenwich Connecticut.  Racquetball is believed to be a combination of these and other sports such as tennis and the fast paced Spanish sport of jai alai. The first games in the United States were played in the 1920s.   Racquetball can be played with either two or four players. A set begins with one player at the inside of serving box, and his opponent behind him outside of the box. The server must the then hit the ball with his/her racket causing it to bounce against the front wall and back across the serving box without allowing the ball to hit the ground in front of the serving box but in front of the back wall. If either the floor before the box of the back wall is hit before the first floor bounce then the serve does not count. The opponent must then return the ball by hitting it against the front wall before the next floor bounce. The ball may be hit off of any of the other 3 walls including the ceiling before hitting the front wall as long as it makes it to the front wall before the second floor bounce.  After the ball connects with the front wall it is allowed another floor bounce, but must be returned by the previous server again before the first bounce.   The sport of Racquetball, like many other sports is filled with physics and many of the seemingly simple and not to simple moves such as hitting the ball, deflecting it against one of the walls, adding  spin to the ball, kill shots, and predicting where the ball will rebound and eventually land hinge on the concepts of physics. Having an understanding of physics will greatly reduce the time it takes to become a true master in the art of racquetball.
