racquetball
Walled court game
Racquetball is a court sport played with short-handled racquets and a hollow rubber ball.
Unlike tennis or squash, the ball can be played off any wall, ceiling, or floor, making for fast, continuous rallies.
The game emerged in the 1950s as a hybrid of handball and squash: We reserved a racquetball court at the gym.
