One of the best workouts you can get.

Lots of hand / eye coordination to it.

I'm playing 3 to 4 times a week now,

Funny it seems that the worse you are at it, the better the workout.

I'm playing a very good C level game right now. I still get a good workout.

If you have not tried it, I recommend it.
Low cost to get in to.

Try squash. I found it was even more of a workout.

Stupid little rackets though.

I used to play all the time (when I was 21). I was in excellent shape then and didn't understand what the big deal was.

Fast forward 14 years and it kicks my ass now. I love playing. Like you said, the "badder" you play, the more running you do. Around here in the spring the courts get so wet from the humidity...it just adds another element to the game!

I'm really surprised more people aren't in to it.

A very good racquet can be bought for 100 bucks.
Good shoes and maybe a glove an you are good to go.

Most of my friends only want to play once or twice a week so I have been stacking them where I can play more often with different folks.
