Racquetball and tennis are both racket sports played on a court, but there are key differences between the two. In racquetball, the court is enclosed and the ball can bounce off any wall, while in tennis the court is open and the ball must stay within the lines. Additionally, racquetball uses a smaller, harder ball and players can hit the ball after one bounce, whereas in tennis players must hit the ball before it bounces. The scoring system and rules also differ between the two sports.

Answer 1You can but you shouldn't. A tennis racquet is much larger and designed for a larger ball than a racquetball racquet. Officially speaking, it is against the rules to play with anything other than a racquetball racquet. Answer 2Most games have dimensions and rule boundaries placed on official equipment allowable. I believe there are constraints on the racquets that should be used in racquetball, including the shape of the end of the face. There are also practical disadvantages for using tennis racquets in racquetball - they are far too heavy and cumbersome. The ball needs to be struck with a kind of throwing action and one that is very fast.This action is not as efficient or as possible with tennis equipment as it is using the proper impliments.

A racquetball will bounce higher. A racquetball is required to be able to bounce 68 to 72 inches from a 100 inch drop at an outside temperature of 70 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit. A tennis ball will only rebound 46 to 52 inches but the USTA doesn't give a drop or temperature requirement.
