I have watched and played Daniel once over the last two year. I think he is currently only 17 years old. Daniel is only getting better and is going to be a force on the pro tour for years to come. I am not saying he is going to be beating Kane anytime soon. However he is going to surprise alot of people on tour and is only going to get better over time with age and experience. Daniel has alot of upside potential. Congratulations on making the Pan Am final.

I just checked the IRT Network website to see when the Sarasota broadcast would start. Anyways one thing that caught my eye is their is a new promo video on the site. This is something I have been waiting to see for a long time. I think the IRT is definitely moving
in the right direction.

Mitch won the Garden City pro stop today beating Jack in 3 games. Mitch is playing awesome!
Jack seems to still be injured but was playing well enough to win against Ben in the Semi finals.
Thanks Stacy,Chad, Terry and everyone involved for putting on a great event!

Hi Jason
First I wanted to let you know how much everyone appreciates what you do for the sport of racquestball. Win or Lose
you are the main reason many of us go to IRT events. You allways put on a show for the fans. I have seen you dive
more times in one match than everyone else in the entire tournament. Your matches are allways exciting! You may not
hit the ball the hardest but no one has as much heart or determination as you. I would disregard the comments coming
from some of the people on the forum. I don't think people realize how difficult it is finishing the Number 1 player in the world
for an entire season and winning the US Open twice. How many people in the world have ever been number 1 in any sport.
Anyways these are my Questions/Observations. At Lynmar this year both Jack and you lost in the 16's. I saw both of you hit shots that consistently
popped up or did not go where you intended. I also saw alot of interesting bounces. Yet you are both two of the most consistent players on the tour.
Polo and Javier seemed to hit consistent winners and looked llike they were very comfortable on the court. They played exceptionally
well and deserved to win. The court definitely played very differently than it does in Memphis. I know that you probably feel that you
should win on any court. What Happened since you have obviously been training and practicing?
I think the IRT should have 2 prostops before the grandslam event next year. I think this will increase the quality of play.
Why is it so hard to to actually win a pro stop? Only a select few people have done it over the last 10 years. We realized how
true this was after both Jack and you lost. The only event before this weekend that Rocky won was in Seattle. I don't think
anyone else has won a Tier 1 stop currently on the tour. It seems like the #1 or #2 player is the only person who normally win
any tournaments. You would think that someone in the top 8 would eventually win a tournament but this does not happen.
This is what made the results at Lynmar very suprising. This brings me to my last point.
How many #1 titles and tournaments would you have won had Clff, Sudsy, and Kane not been around? All these players
definitley dominated the sport. These are the only players that I can remember ever consistently beating you in tournaments.
You can make an argument that Cliff or Sudsy are the greatest players of all time in modern racquetball. Kane is the most physically
talented player I have seen and makes the game look easy. Its a shame he's been suspended the last 2 years.
I also wanted to say that Jack has been very consistent the last two years and does not get alot of credit but this will change if he keeps winning.
I wanted to wish you luck on the upcoming season. If you really want it and decide I think you can be the number 1 player in the
world again and definitely win many tournaments this year. I look forward to your responses.
Thank You

I was watching Jack play at the Motorola Pro Nationals. Some of the people there had not seen racquetball played before. The one thing that annoyed them the most was the pattern and
time Jack took before serving. Everytime he bounced the ball 8 times out of the service box
Then hit it off the side wall before serving. I do not want to be accused of picking on Jack since
Kane also does something very similar. The bottom line is the IRT needs to make changes to
the game to make it more fan friendly and enjoyable to watch if it wants to grow. Another topic is the one ref. Jason does a great job but still misses obvious calls. Footfaults occur constanlty with certain players but the Jason is rightly concerned about paying attention to whether the serve is good. I am curious what other peoples feedback on these subjects and other things the IRT could do to improve the game.

Hi
I am going to be in Las Vegas next week. I was wondering what clubs have the best players and nights to play.
