ur right they are both extremely well rounded with few weaknesses. however they are both considered power players even though they both have great control. kane's forhand at 1:45 while running backwards and shooting off his back foot proves he is more of a power player. cliff's amazingly accurate drive serves and his reluctancy to hit forehand ceiling balls show his status as a power player. thanks for clearing up what racquets they were using though.
by the way are they using head racquets? seems like cliff usually uses wilson and kane uses ektelon but it looks like they are both using the head metallix racquets in this particular video.
Swain should have put all of his energies in tennis. The guy could have been a top 50 tennis player. He would have been playing in front of thousands while playing the likes of Agassi and Sampras, instead of playing in front of maybe a 100 people with little or no TV coverage.
@marcmgm Swain has all the attributes to be a great tennis player. First of all, the guy is ridiculously strong - stronger than Agassi or Sampras. Second, the dude is tenacious like Nadal. Thirdly, his footwork and coordination is impeccable. And finally, his work ethic is second to none. All in all, the guy would have been a major handful.
cliff and kane. the two big lefties. is it just me or does it seem like all the lefties of the pro tour are power players? between cliff, kane, and mitch williams you'd be hard pressed to find three harder hitters. for more racquetball check out rballer.webs. com
Man, most racquetball players look like your average gym rat. Even the pros don't look very special. In tennis you can tell that they are athletic. Also I noticed that they are wearing volleyball shoes. What's up with that?
I assure you, these pros are incredible athletes. Their quickness, agility, reflexes and overall fitness are outstanding. Did I mention quickness? The reaction time it takes to play at this level is difficult to comprehend until you try to play that hard and that fast. As for the shoes, they are racquetball shoes; similar to volleyball since they are both played on a wooden floor. Except for beach volleyball, of course.

...and Kane's the most accomplished professional racquetball player ever, too.
Kane won this match 11-7, 11-7, 13-11, assuming the IRT (International Racquetball Tour) Historical Data Archive is correct.
Yes but who won that match?
Was this before or after his crackhead years?
kane plays head? in this game?

Kane is my cousin 😄😄
Kane is freaky good.

I guess I'm used to looking at people like Rafael Nadal, and Rodger Federer, where you can tell they are athletic.
