Rapid Ball

Rapid ball or rapid-ball is a relatively new sport derived from squash and racquetball. It was invented by Peter V. Haighton in order to create a game similar to squash, but less taxing on one's legs and joints. It is played by two players on a standard squash court, using racquetball equipment, including a ball that rebounds much farther than the comparatively "dead" ball used in squash, thus requiring less running.

Famous quotes containing the words rapid and/or ball:

    Missionaries, whether of philosophy or religion, rarely make rapid way, unless their preachings fall in with the prepossessions of the multitude of shallow thinkers, or can be made to serve as a stalking-horse for the promotion of the practical aims of the still larger multitude, who do not profess to think much, but are quite certain they want a great deal.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    ‘Throw down the ball, ye Jew’s daughter,
    Throw down the ball to me!’
    ‘Never a bit,’ says the Jew’s daughter,
    ‘Till up to me come ye.’
    Unknown. Hugh of Lincoln (l. 13–16)
