Racketball<\/h2>\n

This is played on a standard squash court but with a bigger, more bouncy ball and shorter rackets. Probably easier for beginners than squash. Also good for people worried about joint and tendon injuries – it is a bit gentler than squash. But the rallies are longer – so often it is a tougher cardio workout than squash.<\/p>\n\n

What is Squash57?<\/b> In 2016, England Squash, along with the World Squash Federation, rebranded Racketball as ‘Squash 57’ (the ball is 57mm, as opposed to a squash ball which is 40mm). Part of the thinking was to emphasise that the game is played on a standard squash court, as opposed to ‘Racquetball’. So now you know – ‘Racketball’ and ‘Squash 57’ are the same thing. ‘Racquetball’ is something different.<\/p>\n\n

What is Racquetball?<\/b> This is the American version of the game, played on different sized courts (8 ft. longer and 1 ft. narrower) and with a slightly bigger ball (60mm). Also, the ball may be played off the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n
