Even though ...

... I recently bought myself a new racquet, I can attest to the fact that a racquet doesn't make the player. I wish it did, but it doesn't. I still have a lot of work to do on my game. Though, I have to admit ... I'd much rather play racquetball for an hour, than bike or even run for an equivalent amount of time. Whether it burns off as many calories as those other two activities, I doubt it, but they're not as fun. The rules are pretty simple as well. There are times however when I do miss playing squash, which I picked up reasonably well in college.
