Poor footing–poor lighting–poor reffing–poor everything–Racquetball excuse bags are full! We can make them all day long. Bottom line is an opponent plays on the same court we do. Poor footing? They have the same problem. Poor lighting etc. They have the same problem. Basically it comes down to who wants it more given the skill levels are the same.
Here are some I have heard over the years and a few of them I used as well (not the pet hamster) !
If the court conditions are poor just forfeit. Otherwise play! Do not make excuses.
Once every few years I love to ask for good excuses. What is the best excuse you ever heard? I’ll go first.
I didn’t play very well because it is spring time and the weather changed. I could not get used to the humidity.
I didn’t play very well because I attended a real estate seminar.
I didn’t play very well because my pet hamster is missing.
I didn’t play very well because the ball is slow.
I didn’t play very well because the ball is fast.
Feel free to add on!!
