Since Cliff is without question the greatest to ever play the game, I wonder why he isn't at the top of the rankings on this tour?
It's obviously a lack of training and I hear he has been injured quite regularly lately.
My question is for anyone that may know his situation more personally, but, is he going to train and get serious about being the #1 player on this tour, or is he going to stay content with just playing these events and letting the chips fall as they may.
I'm interested because a lot of the CPRT events are streamed online and I really enjoy watching Cliff play. I personally get disappointed when he doesn't win.
It would be cool to see him get back in shape and just win every event. Not saying that he could do that with the other tough players on that tour, but a serious attempt at it would be cool to watch since most of the events are streamed.
Any inside info?????
Can someone post please??
The new IRT website wants to run Adobe to bring up the rankings for some reason. Opening that program is a security risk, at least that is what my computer is telling me.
Thank you to anyone who takes the time to post. I appreciate it!!

Just my personal opinion, go ahead and disagree if you want, but after reading post's about this weekends pro nationals here are my thoughts....... wait, before I go further let me state that I love racquetball, tremendoulsy! Just being a part of this sport has done good things for my life as whole, but.......
This sport isn't going to get any bigger than it is now. Period, end of story! This weekend turn out at the navy pier should be evidence enough.
What the irt should really be doing is pandering to us die hard fans, before we lose interest. Your obviously not bringing in any new participation with what your doing now. You want to generate more money by more exposure? Stream online somehow and have us die hards pay a fee, and we will, becasue we are the only ones who care. Period, end of story. But really my point is, the irt should be doing all it can to please the fans it already has, as opposed to trying to build a new fan base that just simply isn't there. Nor does it seem like it ever will be. It just seems that the irt is turning it's back to use by not allowing rballonline to stream or pro only tournys blah blah all in the name of growth and exposure when the market for it just isn't there. The die hards are the wheels that keep the irt moving. Listen to us and pander to what we want.
I found it to be sad and I felt for our sports top pro's to be playing on the second story of the navy pier with little fan attendance, so I've read. I wonder if they'd have been happier playing at the old Shaumburg club, to a packed house of their true fans in the old tounament format as opposed to the new one.
So I see they have the last WPRO grand slam starting tommorrow!! I assume rballonline will be there?? I hope!!
And I just checked the rankings as well and I was completely surprised to see that Angela has fallen to the #8 spot. Any insight as to what happened to bring about the slide in ranking?
I have a Lethal Nxt Gen 170 used. I'll trade it for a used Amp 175. PM me if interested.

A friend of mine loves these and can't seem to find them anymore. Anyone have some for sale or know where I can direct him to buy???
Thanks

Whats the string pattern for the Amp racquets. By this I mean..... Down 1, up 4, Down 2, up 6 ect ect... That's not it, but what is it???
Also it's a two piece system so how many ft for the mains, how many ft for the crosses.
Thanks anyone who can help!

Has anyone here ever seriously injured their back playing ball? Im just curious if anyone has any pointers on preventing it from reoccuring. Such as specific stretches or exercises and so forth. Let me know what you've done to prevent it from happening again and if you've been successful with your methods.
Thanks
Craig
I was just wondering when the Ireland tourney is going to be streaming? So far I haven't seen anything.
I just also want to say thank you for the service that you provide!!! What your doing is awesome and I can't thank you enough!!!!
***Sidenote*** Is there anyway to get Cliffs CPRT matches from this past year??
Thanks again,
Craig
If anyone has a few used ones of these please post your contact info. As long as the frames in good shape, (no cracks) then I'd like to pick up a few.
Craig
If anyone has a few used one's that they want to sell please post your contact info or PM me. As long as the frames in good shape, (no cracks) then I'd like to pick some up.

I know this has been discussed before but I can't find the old thread.
Is Kane sponsered by PK, or does he just use a PK racquet?
Is there a press release? If so can anyone direct me to it?
Thanks
I have: 1 PK weekender bag holds up to 4 racquets. The HC2 model.
1 PK backpack, the blue and silver one.
2 PK Core Platinium 175 racquets, used but in good condition.
I'd like to sell these, I'm hoping as a package instead of individually. If $125 sounds reasonable PM me or just post here.
Thanks,
Craig
Can you give me the string patteren for a PK Infinity? Specifically for the mains that run through the bottom.
Thanks!!
I am looking to pick up a couple used racquets if anyone has these reply or pm me. This is the racquet that Alvaro Beltran used to use, (or that is the racquet I'm looking to purchase anyway).
Question, on the racquetworld website it say's this racquet will be strung like the DPR. In other pictures I've seen of it, it appears to be strung just like the 03 Red/Black. So which is it going to be????
If any one has a used one in good condition (no cracks and still a solid all around racquet), or a new one, shoot me a price because I'm interested in picking up another one. You can PM me or post it here, it doesn't matter to me. I will get back to you as soon as I get the message. Thanks everyone!!!
Were playing outdoor in Nebraska now!!
Actually it's just me and another young guy that go out and play. I think the older guy's are a little afraid with the major differences between indoor and out. I keep trying to get them out there, maybe eventually.
As for me, I love it. Outdoor is actually how I got introduced to the game of racquetball as I lived elsewhere in the state and all I knew of the game was outdoor. Then I moved back to my home town where there was no outdoor so I moved it indoor. Now the city has redone the concrete floors at a tennis park which has 2 short wall courts backing all the tennis courts on the opposite side so I finally get to play!!! I love both styles of the game but in the summer time outdoor is definetly my preference!!!!
I run alot of shootouts at our indoor club so maybe I'll try to do the same with outdoor to peak some interest. Those old guy's just seem so afraid!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
