I am new to the sport and that confused me when he said that because I just watched a Rocky Carson video and he demonstrated as you say. Thanks for clarifying.
Have they changed the rule about foot faults? I see servers' front foot almost totally surpassing the front line with no call being made in most tourneys
That would be considered a Serving Fault. The same player would serve a second time. If a player makes two consecutive faults it results in a side out and the other team serves. store.racquetworld.com/racquetball-serves.html
You should try Pickleball if you think Racquetball is complicated. LOL They took a perfectly fun game for 'old folks' and turned it into an 84 page rule book with international championships mostly played by youngins. Give me racquetball anytime ... even if I'm still old. Hahahahha
It took me just one hour to start having fun. Got just the same instructions like the video showed. Hitting the ball came naturally. Much much easier than tennis for sure. Fast and fun. Love it.
