The onus of accuracy should not be placed solely on the returner’s shoulders, for racquetball to be perceived as a skilled sports, the onus of accuracy should be placed on both the returner’s and the server’s shoulders. The game of racquetball and its fantastic racquetball players deserve as much and the One Serve Rule provides economy and efficiency in one tiny rule package.

Racquetball is not a one-dimensional sport. The game of racquetball is the greatest game in the universe because it is fast, furious, full of aerial dives, amazing backward running gets, zooming forehand missiles, detonating backhand splats, scintillating rips, and the wonderful thrusts and parries of multitude of rallies consisting of passes, pinches, and ceilings.

The two serves rule gives too much of an advantage to the server and put additional burdens on the returner to return service twice (hardly fair). Racquetball is about accuracy, smarts, powers and accuracy and the One Serve Rule serves to put the emphasis back onto these qualities and make racquetball a multi-dimensional sport again.

The top IRT Pros plays the one serve rule because they all know that the serve is too powerful to allow the usage of the Two Serves Rule. This is akin to resetting the last second buzzer in an NBA game and giving Michael Jordan a Second Chance to shoot the ball. Once again, this seems hardly fair for anyone. If you want to play like the pros, thus it is logical to play Pro Rules, which is the One Serve Rule.
