Racquetball: The Comeback That Never Left
The staying power and apparent resurgence of Racquetball
Rich Neher
January 23, 2026
After we spoke with Karin Grisz of USA Racquetball at the 2025 RacquetX show, we began to notice a resurgence of this sport and promised to give it its own page since Racket Business wants to encompass more than just tennis. Pickleball is relatively new, Padel is new for the USA, but Racquetball has that staying power since the 1950s.
Karin is nice enough to point out suitable Racquetball content, and this month, we are beginning to post some of it. Hope you all like it.
