The Best racket sport known to man...

...is tennis, right? But are you talking about tennis--or real tennis? This isn't a metaphysical question, but a valid point of distinction between the "normal" tennis (also called lawn tennis) that you see on network TV or play on the weekends, and Real Tennis, the sport that became the pastime of nobility in 16th-century Europe and has changed scarcely a jot over the past 400 years. Although barely spoken of in America, Real Tennis (a.k.a. Royal Tennis or Court Tennis) makes lawn tennis look like a party game, since the ball is played on a large enclosed court and can rebound off the walls or "penthouses" before hitting the floor a second time.
