Steve Sandler

One-wall kingpin Steve Sandler will be remembered as much for his domination of one-wall handball as for his amusing challenge games. Sandler was known to play with handicaps of one hand tied behind his back, carrying a chair, using only his back hand, etc.

Matched against the game’s all-time greats, Sandler had an uncanny knack for winning. At his best, he was the game’s best volleyer, server and shooter. Witnessing Sandler play was breathtaking, the endless retrieving, impossible gets, famed back-hand shots and the floating ace serves with pin-point accuracy. Most impressive was his amazing durability. Sandler won a national open title in each of three decades.
