They should remove that rule for returners holding up the racquet...people just use that as a tactic now. Pretty lame and not what that rule’s intent is.
@@racquetballhighlights7721 I don’t have a problem with the returner taking time, but it’s that sneaky nature of gamesmanship that is not in line with the spirit of the rule. They should just play at the servers pace.
You need the receiver to be able to use that rule to guard against the sneaky quick serve which some players do before their opponent is even ready to receive. Remember the guy who's receiving often has to walk back towards the back of the court while the server is standing in the box ready to go. The receiver always needs a few seconds more time than the guy serving. I agree it shouldn't be abused but if you think about it, the receiver can only put the racquet up for 10 seconds at MOST (usually it's only for a few seconds), it's not that big of deal, just the server needs to check the defender before they serve. It creates good habits for the server when there is no referee also. Helps new player create good habits also.
These guys are truly amazing players.
I know is amazing what they can do. They make look so easy.
The rally at 9:25 shows how incredibly athletic these two players are. WOW
I watched a couple times.
Thanks for posting this, many amazing rallies!!
They make it look easy!
That last point should have been replayed.
After watching it a couple more times. I think the ref made the right call.
Good job "Cubanito"
Thanks :)

I think they should only be allow to do once per game to re-focus. What do you think?
