Racquetball is Not Exactly the Same Game as Squash

>> high-level badminton on grass courts

?!

Somehow I feel the term high-level can have different degrees to it ;-)

I've never ever seen something close to high-level badminton being played on a grass court (or even outdoors at all).

BTW: Badminton shots have been measured using microwave technology to exceed 200MPH. But the shuttlecock will decelerate very quickly compared to all other racket sports, so the average speed of the entire flight path for the shot, is not faster than those in other sports.... One really cannot compared these things.

I'm very curious though, as to how long the rallies are in RB for top level players - are they anywhere near those of top level squash players (who go on forever and ever...)?

(I think I referred to rallies as volleys in my first posts, sorry for the confusion).
