Handball vs racquet 6 -17 -09 BKLYN N.Y.

4 Wall Handball. A racquetball player doesn't believe that a hand can beat the racquet, however, 3 games later he got the picture. This was the closest game but the battery dies near point game. The hand can't beat a good or advanced racquetball player but intermediate players and below can be beat. Thanks for being a sport and letting me tape/ post this. Next videos will be in HD.

terrible.. good racquetball player would destroy you..

@duranarts Of course a good racquetball player would destroy me. I also play racquetball and I feel that I would destroy anyone playing with their hands. If you read what I wrote, that a hand can beat an intermediate to beginners racquet than you would know that you are agreeing with me. :)

Back in the '70's the best handball player at that time (Paul Haber) beat the best racquetball player of that time (can't recall his name). Neither of these guys is very good and they both don't know how to use the ceiling well. It's fun to watch, though.

@rjmins Thanks for the comment but gimme a little credit ..lol.. I'm playing with my hand. This was my first game and played much better the second game. The ceiling shot is not as effective with a hand vs. a racquet. Playing w/ a racquet, the ceiling shot is often a good shot. I wish I can convince everyone I've played to let me video. I'm lucky that they agree to play in the first place,let alone video tape.

@Kjoseph718 I think you did OK. The ceiling shot is used to try to drive your opponent back. You should always try to get in front of him. Your video was interesting because it reminded me of that match I mentioned, which you can locate on You Tube. I played both many years ago and I am glad you posted yours.

@rjmins I hope your not one of those guys who played in the 50/60/70"s and doesn't think that any current players can hold a candle to the players of your era. Don't make me ask the old timers in coney about your level of play in your prime..lol..

basically there is not way that handball player beat a racquetball player the only is the best hand ball player against a beginner racquetball player!!!!

[rjmins]

I confess. I played during those times. I never played at Coney Island. When I was a kid, the schools in NYC had handball teams that played each other. When I went to Evander Childs H.S. we won the championship of the Bronx, but when we played a team from Brooklyn, at Brighton Beach, we got beat, I think the word used was "shlonged". I think the current players would do OKh vs those of the 50's, 60's and 70's, but not beat them consistently.

@Youngphilosopher94 It's not that much different than 1 wall handball. You have to hit the ball to the front wall on a fly and you can hit ceiling or any walls before it hits the front wall. As long as it doesn't bounce before it gets to the front wall. Once it hits the front wall, then the ball can only bounce once.
