This native English speaker is with you, I thought RacquetNext was some new-fangled racquetball racket that was banned because it has carbon fiber plates that…do $SOMETHING, ala the Nike Vaporfly/Alphafly running shoes. You know, “sanctioned”.

Instead, it turns out to be some poorly-designed web page that tells me little about what they’re trying to sell.

This was exactly what I expected as a best guess from the title.

We'll try to do better on the page... but I admit, this is the first time that we have been criticised for telling to LITTLE!!! :-) Thanks for commenting... your feedback matters.

Oh, the pages tells plenty, it just doesn’t tell me anything that I found useful. I mean, I even scrolled down for more than the page deserved, IMO, and I still can’t tell you what is on offer, exactly. Some kind of racquet game, with the implication being that I can play it at home, too.

But, hey, you’re here reading feedback, so that’s appreciated. :-)

You are counting the number of words which is not the problem. The many commenters here are pointing there is little value in the content because it is unclear and disorganized, not that there are physically too few things on the screen.

I agree with them. I just went on the site and have essentially zero idea of what this is trying to do / sell me.
