All totally correct. Thanks for commenting.

I know... "sanction" is one of those words that means it's opposite too... a "contranym" But it's the word they use in international federations. You are right... the first ever electronic game of any sort to be officially recognized as a sport. Extremely cool. Thanks for commenting.

Snooker is wonderful. Thanks for commenting.

Fair error... but no. Thanks for commenting.

It's Racket:Next aka Racket: Nx, the original name and still out there. Check www.racketnext.com Thanks for commenting.

VERY. VERY. GOOD. Thanks for commenting.

Multiplayer WII was the best 2D racquet sport simulation. Racket:Next is THE VR next BIG step... and the best way to play it is to set the stationary "Guardian" about 2 meters, so you don't crash the lamp! Thanks for commenting.

Actually, Racquetball simulations don't work in VR, nor any other racquet sports simulations except table tennis. Racket:Next is an ANALOGUE of conventional racquet sports... have a look at www.racketnext.com/playing. Thanks for commenting.

100% CORRECT, SIR! Thanks for commenting.

I agree. That's a great article, and Sonya Haskins is a great writer and person. When you have a minute though, hover on "Images and Video" and dive in to a cornucopia of Racket:Next delights... Thanks for commenting.

Good start... but everyone leaves out BADMINTON, with over 200 million players. Badminton ALONE is almost as large as world football [!!!] As I said above... who knew? Thanks for commenting.

I was hoping that someone would challenge this, There are around 50 million more racket sports players than world football players [!!!] Who knew? And tennis is not the largest... badminton is, dominated by China and India. This is true even if you don't count table tennis, which is also a racquet sport. I was floored when I realized this. Football probably has more SPECTATOR/FANS... I don't know. but the player numbers? Not even close. Thanks for commenting.

Russians PLAY it, but it was MADE in Tel Aviv. And it definitely IS a "something-or-other" Thanks for commenting.

We'll try to do better on the page... but I admit, this is the first time that we have been criticised for telling to LITTLE!!! :-) Thanks for commenting... your feedback matters.

Yes... it is VR. The site was designed to appeal to those who do know what Racket:Next [aka Racket: Nx is, and those who want to know a LOT more. And "sanction" is one of those crazy words... but it's the one the International Federations use... the good kind. Thanks for commenting.
