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.

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.
