"Rich Munitz is a fantastic terrific unbelieveable racquetball player."

17 years and 17 pounds ago this was probably a true statement.

Racquetball singles is a better workout than running in calories/hour.

As compared with Squash, Racquetball is played on a longer court (40 feet / 12 m) and is more of a power game. Serve speeds in excess of 190 mph / 317 kph have been recorded. Not only are there no out-of-bounds lines, but the ceiling is a playing surface.

The expert on the rules of racquetball is Phil Simborg. He wrote them.
