I'm putting this in the Cardio section as I mostly just started playing again for the fitness benefits, but am now absolutely loving the game in its own right- the last time I played was when I was 16 (I'm now 25) but at the mo I can't get enough, I've played 3 games in the last week alongside my usual workouts. If there's a better form of HIIT out there than a closely-matched squash game then I'll be amazed, by the end of a good match I'm sweating like a blind lesbian in a fishmongers.

Any of you lot keen?

I played it alot in College and Uni but not so much after...Id agree its a very fast paced game and awesome!.....

Same here.

I also took a ball in the eye straight from the racket when I stupidly looked back and lost my sight there for about 3 days. Nearly lost my eye too as they had to treat the pressure build up.

Played a little after but kinda lost it's appeal!

Angry Pirate is more dangerous to eyes!

Ouch, don't fancy that much... perhaps I should seek out some specs, ideally some sweet wraparound shades like that dude on Star Trek wears.

Not sure this thread was a good idea in hindsight, it has me gagging for another game right now! Thankfully I'm dole scum at the moment so can get in there most weekdays and take advantage of the cheaper daytime rates

I did after that.

Was biking a lot back then so just wore my Oakley M Frames.
