Just started playing. Managed to play about 3 times this week and I fucking love it. I still kind of suck, but it's definitely something I can see myself doing long term. Great workout and it's loads of fun. Anyone else?
Racquetball...

love it. I took it as a class in college when I needed an extra credit to stay on my parents health insurance. I really need to get back into it. Great workout. It definitely helps to find someone to play who is at your skill level. Isn't much fun when you play someone who's really good.
I used to play with my ex, but now can't find anyone else near me who plays, or has any desire to learn. It's definitely a great workout.
You should man. Just go play and you'll be like, holy shit this is awesome..why did I ever stop playing?
One of my good friends and I are super competitive with stuff. He started playing like a month ago, so he's a little better than I am right now. Pretty much works out perfectly.
you could probably find a partner on craigslist. (And no, I did not type that with a straight face.)
Nate, take a vacation to Idaho and I'll get you some private lessons from the Plummer bros. Goddamn, that sounds gay.
It's really fucking fun. It's a lot harder than tennis. When I first started playing, I dislocated my shoulder, but I still love it anywho. That's my main source of cardio in the week.
Switch to Squash.
I've played both. Squash was a helluva lot tougher to learn than Racquetball, but a lot more fun when you start to get the hang of it.
Haven't played for like 4 years though. Would love to pick it back up.

I play basketball regularly, but would love to learn racquetball. Looks fun although I have no idea how to play.
Super easy rules wise. You should give it a shot, lots of fun.

That dude has some other videos too that teach the basics of serving, shots, strategies etc.
Racquetball is a hell of a work out when you are playing someone who is half decent. Top it off with a fat J afterwards and life is grand.
