Yes, in college I played it a lot. Was fortune enough in my very last semester to have a couple of serious jocks in my dorm. Kids that played on the university baseball team, and we played practically everyday.
BUT ... it was US Handball, a different game than what's shown :(

@Heartlander Yes, this the handball I played on military bases and college campus in the US.

@Heartlander like squash without racquets

@HotPizza71 yep, they use the same courts I believe. I believe squash is played with one racket, so a bit different because US handball has no backhand action. But use of the non dominant hand adapts pretty fast because a new player will likely see everything served to or played to their presumed weak side :)

Why does this not surprise me?? Everywhere else has football you have football you play with you're hands. We call that sorta stuff Rugby and in that we pass the ball backwards but oh no no nno in American Football you pass it forwards... We have metric you have imperial, FFS!!!
Hahaha, I'm joking I'm joking but yeah it all gets somewhat confusing at times, LOLZ!.😅

American Handball is not the same as handball in other areas.

I had a missionary church leader that went somewhere that played it, so we played it in scouts.
Our version was taking turns hitting a ball against a wall.

Seen it never played it
I think it lost popularity in the states in the 00's.
