The past, present, and future of men’s professional racquetball will combine to make the 2012 Red Swain Shootout November 1-4 at the Davison Athletic Club in Davison, Michigan, and will include top ranked professional players #1 Kane Waselenchuk, who has been undefeated for three years running; Cliff Swain, the retired former 6-time #1 ranked player; and several up-and-coming players including #13 Brad Schopieray, who will be playing on his home court.
