One of my favorite parts about this game is that they didn’t take 30 seconds between points for a whole ritual. It was so much more watchable that way.
I love racquetball and prefer it to squash but I can understand why people say it's boring. Whenever I jump to another section of the vid I am always catching the in-between parts so I timed it and found that they took at least twice as long to serve the ball as the rally took. It's very annoying to watch a player bounce the ball off the wall a half dozen times. It may help them to focus but it makes for a lousy spectator experience.
+Anwar Sadat Much respect too bad racquetball hasn't flourished like in the eighties. I was fortunate to have taken lessons back then from a hall of famer Tom Travers who said he even learned a great deal from Cliff mainly the drive serve almost never lob. He also said just by dropping the serve instead of tossing it forward was key.
Watch when Cliff drops the serve he doesn't toss it forward he drops where he hits it making it more consistent think of it in tennis if you didn't have to toss the ball and just place it where you want it would be much more consistent.
Jake has so much potential and you can see by looking at him he trains hard, I love watching him play. I think he has a bad injury from a dive I saw on vid when he played left handed after that. He is a gamer. The ultimate respect for Cliff is a given. I have followed his whole career. What would be his stats were it not for the pause and attempt at tennis? He is #2 all time in my book. Probably be #1 is he had Coach/Trainer Winterton in his corner too. It is about domination but also longevity.
I have participated in exhibitions... those are times to just have fun!!!! Who gives a shit about the score! It's about seeing old friends and meeting new ones... having 12 shots of Patron Silver Tequila about half hour before you start playing... GOOD TIMES!!! HAHAHAHA

The drive serve that won the game looked short.
If only Cliff was 20yrs younger this would certainly have a different outcome.
+Anwar Sadat Cliff gave him the last point clearly 6in short. Not something you saw years ago.

just drop the ball where you want to hit it, don't toss it forward or throw it down just let it drop out of you fingers.
john metyk must be a player👍😉
I love Jake's power shots. he always hit hard no matter he lose or win.
Must've been early am cause Swain seems to be asleep.
Not that I'd ever consider getting on the court with him, but ...
for an exhibition game, they're pretty serious.. no smiles

Is cliff swain in the green shorts?
+Justin Hinman No, that is Jake since noone else has answered your question.
you asked who swain was when he has his name on his back, honestly?
Lol 2 balls in the first Couple minutes
Kane is one of the greatest no doubt. But he questions so many calls and comes off as a whiner.
