Do you actually play that early

How about you come down to wichita IF we can get a date set sometime or if you are down this way sometime let me know ahead of time so we could possibly get something setup

Maybe we could play before/after the Salina Ice Bowl

I play sometimes on base. They have four or five courts. We could give it a try sometime.

I'm usually at the Y that early. I don't keep this girlish figure by sleeping in. Haven't played racquetball in a few/several years but I would.

I had a good and bad night tonight playing in El Dorado.

1st game I beat my dad 15-2

2nd game I showed a friend how to play and took it easy on him.

3rd game I played aginst a guy who used to work for my parents. 7-15

4th game I played my dad again and came back from a 4-14 to win. During this game something happened to the power in Eldorado and everything went pitch black. Thankfully the Y had backup generators and we were able to finish playing

The last game I played my bigger little brother and the first volley he served, then I hit the ball, then i was trying to get set up in front of him while he was hitting forehand and he follows thru way to much and then drills me right in the face with the side of his racquet. If it would have been .5" higher it would have busted my bottom teeth out. Anyways we continued to play and he had a 2 point advantage thuout the game till we got to 11-13 then I tied it up and we both had 14. What made this game so bad was my dad was on the other side of the glass telling my brother where to serve each time and it was making me really mad. I ended up loosing because of this and I was so mad at the end that I ended up breaking my racquet up against the back glass.

:evil:14-15 O well next time I play with my brother he is getting DRILLED with the ball even though he says he will whoop my butt If I do.

I am done with my little rant now and feel better for letting it all out.

Racquetball is not supposed to be about killing family members.

Don't you have to win by 2 points, just like any of the other games of this type? I believe so.

I know its not supposed to be that way. Getting hit by the ball full speed is worse than getting hit by a paintball, but it only stings for a little while. I got drilled on monday night on the inside of my right arm and still have a little red ring from where it hit me.

You only have to win by 2 if you are playing at the professional level or unless you feel like playing by the pro's rules.

I used to play with my former step dad years ago....He'd get so pissed when I'd get ahead, that I'd get drilled in the back with the ball......Soloution, throw racquet at opponent. Oops, sorry that slipped.....Don't get hit with ball anymore.....
