Great vid Dan! It's really nice learning about the different forms of handball and how they're all related, despite all the differences (be it between the type of ball, courts and all). Keep the content coming!
Wow, so cool. Looking at the Winchester game, reminds me of Tennis. If you are looking at ultimate "in play" look at the Hobart Tennis Club court, penthouse wall, between and above the windows are in play. A good vid to check this out is the 2019 world doubles championship. As a bottom of the world person, can't wait to see rackets and fives in person. I visited Queens one day in 2010 but the rackets courts were closed according to some old guy called Howard. Mentioned at a tennis gathering to remember Brad Dale that I got a call to say that there is a new member who "was about as bad as I was" The guy to my right (tennis professional) said "Fuck, no one could be tat bad". The following day on the plane, I remembered who Howard was :-(
I've just started catching fives videos (I can't play - it's years too late for my body!). I used to play squash long ago; fives looks a lot more fun ... hit the ball with both hands! ... my impression is that you have more precision in ball placement in fives. I'd like to have seen Winchester fives courts with a symmetrical 45 degree buttress on both sides, which I think would have made the game more complex (but also, possibly, less random than Eton fives can get), and would probably lead to shorter rallies than you can get with Rugby fives. Thanks for the video and your enthusiasm; it does seem very strange that the game's not more popular ... could be an Olympic sport.
I moved to Alberta Canada from Ireland and I’ve been playing four wall handball out here for a good while. There’s a good community. You should play on the 60 by 30 fourwall court man- it would be great to see it introduced to the world by such a good spokesman.
Thanks man, I'd love too. I hope to be in Canada at some point over the next couple of years. Who should I reach out to there? I didn't know they had 60x30 out there! Amazing stuff!
great to see someone making videos about handball get the game of handball famous again
Thank you!

It would certainly make it more fun!

@@BallSlaps sorry mate I should clarify, Ireland is the only place that has an active 60 by 30 game. I play 40 by 20 in Canada.
Time to check out the latest video 😉
This is awesome!
isnt that just four-wall
It has 4 walls, yes. But you'll probably have to watch the video to see if you're right
